Cheap and very cheerful, these London tumblers and mugs by Michelle Mason should brighten up your kitchen.
The designs could have been plucked straight from the 1960s, indeed they remind us of the classic Royston Cooper public posters of that particular era. For your money, you get a choice of melamine mugs or tumblers, dishwasher safe and packed with nostalgic images of the capital.
Available online, they sell for £7.99 each.
Summer is coming, the season of burning food in the great outdoors. If you don't fancy spending a month's wages on something huge and gas-powered, you could opt for something more basic, but plenty of retro style – like this Weber Smokey Joe barbecue.
It's exclusive to John Lewis (both instore and online), offering a compact unit that's good for picnics and flat dwellers (if you have a balcony), offering up a weatherproof porcelain enamelled bowl and lid, a lid lock for easy carrying, rust-proof air vent, triple chrome-plated grate and a measuring cup for your fuel.
All of which will cost you £59.95.
Ferm Living have gone crazy for robots in their new Spring range, including this duvet set. Yes, a pillow and duvet cover with a repeat pattern of colourful retro robots. Fans of the mechanical creatures might be upset to know it's only available as a single duvet, meaning this design is most probably just for the kids. However, jealousy aside, it would look great in a children's room.
The range is currently available for pre-order at Cloudberry Living for release later in the month and also includes mini robot cushions for £22 and wall stickers for £39.95. This duvet set costs £85.

We love a sale, especially when the retailer has some tasty retro items in it. Like the Heals sale.
Actually it's called the 'Spring Home Event', but it's much the same, with up to 50 per cent off its range. To be honest, we haven't found much to get our pulses racing with the full discount, but there is a good selection of items marked down, from retro-style Newgate clocks to larger items like the Mistral sofa and armchair range (pictured above).
We have featured these midcentury-inspired gems previously and if you like those 50s-style looks, they're now available with a price cut – the armchiars at £876 (from £1,095), the sofas at £1,436 (from £1,795). Check those out and all the other sale items online now.
A retro gem hidden away in the general store part of Ikea – these Halsa flasks.
Useful as well as distinctive, the flasks are a mix of stainless steel, silicon rubber and ABS plastic, making them durable to everyday knocks and bumps as well as keeping your hot drinks hot and your cold drinks…well, you know the score.
Take your pick from the two designs above, each selling for just £3.99.
Not a big watch, a big clock – specifically the Pocket Wall Clock at Urban Outfitters.
Yes, inspired by a pocket watch, the clock has a chrome outer finish, metal hands and vintage-style numerals, the whole thing coming in around 23cm in diameter and running on a single AA battery.
Price? Yours for £20.
