A couple of quirky tops for your kids – the Pow! and Mod Kids t-shirts.
The mod-themed top is a white cotton t-shirt, with navy blue and red design, while the Pow! t-shirt has a yellow, black and white design printed on a choice of coloured t-shirt.
Both are available in sizes from two to 10 years and both retail for £9.99.
It’s been some time since we featured the retro-styled Stamps watches, but we just have to feature this Stamps Disco watch.
The watch kit comes with two different watchcases for you to choose from – a disco ball face in white and a DJ turntable in black and grey, both of which can be attached to the included leather strap.
Not sure about UK price – probably around the £40 mark. But if you’re in the US, you can pick one up from Urban Outfitters for $55.

If traditional auctions are a little too intimidating for you and eBay is too much of a risk, you might want to check out Luckner’s online vintage design auctions.
Luckner’s operates like any other auction house, with viewing of lots and condition reports available to bidders – and you get charged commission. But unlike traditional auction houses, Luckner’s operates online only – so you don’t need to take time off work to wave your bidding card.
It’s worth browsing the site, as there are some interesting and reasonably-priced items on there. The 1970s plastic and teak ceiling lamp pictured here is currently available for £40, with a great lot of 70s plastic shades online for around £50.
If your purchase of the Keep Calm and Carry On poster has awakened an interest in all things wartime, you might want to get your hands on the newly-published Eating For Victory book.
It’s a selection of original World War II leaflets, reproduced in full colour – which means a few ideas for cheap and healthy meals, as well as a nice insight into 1940s design.
Available in hardback in a vintage-style clothbound cover with a foreword by Jill Norman, you can pick a copy up for £9.99.
If you think the PK8 chairs and PK58 table from Fritz Hansen have the look of the 1970s, you’ll be right – because they’re based on designs from that decade.
The designs were the work of Poul Kjaerholm and date back to 1978. However, they never made it into production due to the cost of the work involved creating the curves. But the 70s’ loss is our gain, with the dining set making it into the new Fritz Hansen range.
The table has a strong white polyester composite top and aluminium base, while the chairs are made of a strong plastic material with an aluminium base, both available in either black or white.
A stunning design, but at a price – chairs retail for £532 each, with the table retailing at £2,163.

Cool design doesn’t have to cost a fortune – check out this Cubik table lamp as a prime example.
Designed by Luc Gensollen, the lamp has a base of polished aluminium, with a clear bulb giving out the light, complemented by a transparent cable.
The whole thing has a modernist vibe to it, but whether you’re going for a 30s look or something more modern, £55 seems a reasonable price to pay for a very stylish piece of lighting.
