While we’re on the subject of Shag, you might like to know that the Shagmart store has just taken delivery of the Shag Tiki salt and pepper set.

And if you’re interested, get in there now – all the tiki-related merchandise always sells through really quick. The shakers, known officially as Pa’Akai and Nioi, are about four inches tall, but as the site helpfully points out, you must provide your own salt and pepper.

Available now, you can pick a set up for $15.95 (around £8).

Shag_extraordinary
One for the Shag collectors out there, a new print entitled An Extraordinary Evening.

It’s typical Shag – a cool party in a cool 60s-style house, with a bit of tiki and a couple of cats sneaked in for good measure. The print is a 13-colour serigraph, sized at 19 x 39 inches and limited to 200.

Sure to sell through fast, you can order one now for $295 (around £150).

Yes, you will look like an overgrown child with one in your living room, but we can’t help but love this Rubiks Cube table.

Sadly, it doesn’t seem to twist (no oversized late night fun with your friends), but this acrylic-covered design does make a smart occasional table or coffee table, sized at 16 x 16 x 16 inches.

If you want one, you can order one online for $600 (around £300).

Guitar and amplifier pillow cases

As someone who has recently invested in a vintage-style guitar and a vintage amp (or at least, a secondhand one), I’m very much take with these guitar and amplifier pillow cases.

Actually, they’re officially known as Music Lover Pillowcases, and featuring a Fender Stratocaster guitar and am amp I can’t quite identify. Each is made of a nylon and cotton mix and should fit standard-sized pillows.

You can buy them online from US retailer Modcloth, priced at $24.99 (around £13).

Penguin launches book range with retro sleeves

Book publisher Penguin is reissuing 36 of its bestsellers in the classic Penguin sleeves – but only for a limited time.

The Penguin Celebrations titles, cover a range reading, from vintage novels to modern classics and new releases. Oh yes…and for some inexplicable reason, Jeremy Clarkson. The only differences from the original are the size – slightly larger than the original – and the price, which is £7.99. The original sixpence price point would equate to 92p today.

All the titles are available from the start of September, with availability only expected to last until Christmas.

I’m not a particular fan of novelty cufflinks – they’re second only to the novelty tie as a fashion crime. But I’m really taken with these Vintage Robot cufflinks.

Shaped like the classic 50s robot, they’re made from a steel/zinc alloy, enamelled then chrome-plated and are sized at 10 x 20 x 5cm.

Available from the Conran Shop, you can pick them up for a reasonable £13.
