Lovers of vintage gaming will no doubt love this 8-bit Hanger by Meninos. As will lovers of quirky home furnishings.
Yes, it's just like the hand of an old Nintendo character – Mario, Luigi, whoever you like really. Made from MDF and acrylic, with a screw-in fitting, the hand is available to hold anything you like, but would probably look and work better with an extra hand or two in the hallway.
But if you just want the one, it will retail for $19.99 (£13.33).
A genuine design from the Bauhaus school, with the Naef Bauhaus Building Game by Alma Siedhoff-Buscher now available to entertain and educate your children.
In truth, it's more likely to entertain than educate, but if you like the idea of your little one being an architect, it's the perfect place to start. During her training at Bauhaus in 1924, Alma Siedhoff-Buscher designed this building game, as part of the children’s room in the 'Am Horn' model house in Weimar.
Now it's available once more – a 22-piece set retails for £99.
Never let it be said we don't cater for all your retro needs on this site. If you have an urge for vintage botany, take a look at these botanical charts available from Whippet Grey.
The charts were produced by a German educational company and were originally illustrated in the 1950s and 60s. These have been re-issued based on the original print, printed onto canvas and presented with wooden poles. The black background gives them a dramatic look, something enhanced by their size – they are 120cm long.
Choose from six different designs, priced at £48 each.

An interesting design that's not unlike the classic Dodo Designs heads that appeared in The Avengers – the Dolly Storage Jar by Clifford Richards.
Take your pick from various colours (this one is toffee) with that bold retro design printed onto a ceramic creamware jar complete with rubber sealed lid.
Stylish as well as functional, each one sells for £65.
There's a lot of classic 1950s and 60s designs being re-issued at the moment with Marianne Westman's Picknick another one to add to that long list.
Picknick was originally launched in 1956 and shows a variety of Scandinavian food stuffs laid out as if for, you guessed it, a picnic. The sketchy depiction of the food is typical for the period and still looks fresh and appealing today.
That's good news for Almedahls who've been given the licence to reproduce the design. As well as the tray shown, it's available on a cutting board, a pot stand, a tea towel and a canvas bag.
The range starts at $16 for the tea towel while this serving tray costs $36.
