Lampshade 

Now the nights are drawing in, the lighting in our home starts to become a little more important.

This pattern on this gorgeous Rose Orange shade was designed by Camilla Meijer, and is just one of a range of stunning designs on offer.  It has vintage roots in the style of drawing but the colour palette makes it very contemporary.

The shade would work very well on a floor lamp, and would be a real burst of colour in any living space.

The shade is a substantial size at 40cm diameter and 33cm high, it is priced at £110 and you can buy it from My Deco.

Happy Camper plate by Jane Jenni

Happy camper

If you know someone who enjoys a spot of camping or just someone who is an all-round cheerful soul, Jane Jenni's Happy Camper plate could be the gift for them. 

Reminiscent of a game of Catchphrase, the plate uses the word 'happy' alongside a brightly coloured image of a caravan to represent the phrase, 'Happy Camper'. The simple text, combined with the image, makes it evocative of a retro children's book illustration. The plate is melamine which makes it perfect for actually taking camping too.

The Happy Camper is just one in a whole series of designs executed in the same style around the same idea. So whether one of your family is a 'book worm' or simply you think they are the 'bees knees' or the 'cats meow', this could be the perfect present.

Each plate costs £7.99.

Birdcageduvet

1950s prints seem to be threatening the previous dominance of Sixties designs, with this 50s Birdcage Duvet being a prime example.

The pattern is a reproduction of a genuine Fifties print called Happy Birds, recreated here on a brand new duvet cover. The design features cartoon bird in orange, blue and yellow inside black cages, against a white background and makes a charming, quirky addition to the bedroom.

It is available in Queen size, priced $68 from Urban Outfitters.

If you don’t have a child of your own, find a child (any child!) and buy one of these American School Desks for them.

The desks originate from the USA, dating back to the 1950s and 1960s and are being sold in the UK by Pedlars. They have a good stock of them, in a choice of grey/blue or brown, although something this cute probably won’t be available for long. The desk top rotates and there is extra storage space underneath the seat, ideal for stowing away books and pencils. The desks cost £175 each.

Visit the Pedlars website to buy.
