Sadly you can guarantee which singles you'll get, but that uniqueness is one of the selling points of these 7-inch Vinyl bookends at Urban Outfitters.
As you can see, these are original vintage 45s, presumably the ones no-one really wants (don't expect some rare soul for example), moulded into a 'perfect bookend shape' to support your book collection.
Available online, they retail for £20.
Give your kids an alternative to raiding the piggy bank, with this apple tree money box which has a design dating back to the 1970s.
This fun and bright plastic design has been helping Danish children save up their krone for almost forty years. Also available in red, the tree opens on the back for access to the money and there's a slot on the back so it can be displayed on the wall.
For £8.95 it's perfect in proving that money really can grown on trees.

We featured the floor version some time back, but now you can get a smaller and indeed cheaper Pedrera PD1 table lamp.
Like its big brother, it was designed by Barba Corsini for Gaudi’s La Pedrera building in Barcelona in 1955, when the building was being renovated into flats. Indeed, the light takes inspiration from Gaudi’s chimneys.
That original design was reworked by Jq. Ruiz Millet and is available in this 34cm tall size and of course, made of steel. You can buy one for £119.
Think of summer food and I doubt you'll think of a casserole. This Hackman summer casserole dish may make you change your mind.
It combines a traditional iron enamel dish with a charming '50s-style pattern by Dog Design featuring onions, peas and other tasty vegetables. Surely an essential purchase for any wannabe fifties housewife/husband?
The dish costs 39 euros

Harlequin's Go Go Retro wallpaper not only has a brilliant name but also is a charming design, ideal for a kids room.
The paper features line drawing illustrations of retro vehicles such as a Vespa, Camper Van and a Beetle. Hopefully it should inspire some good alternatives to the traditional children's ambition of being a train driver. The simple design means it shouldn't look too overwhelming in a room as well.
The paper costs £25 a roll.
