Invisible Friend has designed this set of four Guitar Headstock Mugs.
Each of the mugs feature illustrations of iconic guitars: Fender Telecaster, Gibson Les Paul, Fender Stratocaster and Rickenbacker 330. They are recreated in bright pop art colours against a neutral background. An ideal way for a budding guitar hero to take his (or her) tea.
The set of four mugs costs £29.50, available exclusively from Not on the High Street.
Quality rarely comes cheap, which is perhaps why the Mark midcentury-style Bosco sofa and armchair range at John Lewis isn't as cheap as we would like it.
The range is made in the UK, with exposed frames made from solid European oak, as well as featuring serpentine springs and foam and feather fillings for the cushions, the whole thing covered in a viscose and linen cloth in charcoal. Love the shape too, that low profile, buttoned back and exposed wood taking inspiration from the mid-1950s to early '60s.
There's a large sofa, medium sofa and 'snuggled', which in effect is a large armchair. You can see an image of that over the page. Pricing is from £1,600.
We have featured these in the past, but if you haven't got round to picking up one of the vintage-style Hollander city bikes, there's a new selection of colours just landed at Made.com, in pink, cream and khaki green.
As you've probably noticed, this is a Dutch-style city bike, made by a company with 'sixty years experience in creating high quality bicycles', apparently 'well-known for their craftsmanship and attention to detail'. The refreshed range is the women's version of the single-gear bicycle, with luggage carrier, stand, bell, light and pump all included. The frame is steel, with leather, spring-mounted saddle and steel calliper brakes.
Like all Made.com gear, the three bikes are offered heavily discounted for a limited period of time. In this case, £179, down from the high street price of £549. That price is available for around 10 days. See the other colours over the page.

What's new pussycat? Well, for one thing, this adorable Siamese Cat Brooch from Tatty Devine.
The design of our little feline friend here was based on ceramic cats that were seen adorning mantlepieces the 60s & 70s. The cream and caramel perspex retro kitty features intricate brown speckles in all the right places and a handsome blue ribbon collar to match its pretty blue eyes. Purrfect.
Available in two other colours. £54 from Tatty Devine. See the website for more details.

The work of the Andy Warhol Museum, it's a way of turning your own photos into Warhol-style imagery – or 'digital silkscreen print' as they call it.
