There seemed to be a lot of interest in yesterday’s Retro Cassette tote bag. So we thought we would feature another cassette-based product – this time, the Mix Tape Wonder Wallet from Tangled Up In Blue.

The cassette wallet is one of a range of designs, all with sections for money and change, plus separate areas for chequebooks and receipts, plus clear pockets for your cards. And it all snaps shut with a contrasting tab.

Sized at 8 inches x 4.5 inches, you can pick one up online for $32 (around £16).

Next isn’t the first place I would look for interior design, but this season they have some great lighting at cheap prices – including this Sputnik-style pendant light.

Very much in the style of the original Sputnik, this light fitting is claimed to be easy to fit and with plenty of chrome on display, including chrome-plated plastic balls.

Operating with a 100w bulb, it’s available for a bargain £15.

We have covered the Marimekko unikko range in the past, but as it’s coming up for summer, we thought we would mention this range of plastic unikko plates and bowls by Zak! available at Debenhams.

They feature the great unikko flower design in a summery kiwi colour, but because they are plastic they would be great for picnics and outdoor use – and for the same reason, they are also fairly cheap. The large square plate pictured here costs £5.50, but you can also get a small square plate or bowl for just £4.50 each.
