Ping Pong Match Clockwork Tin Toy from After Noah

There are some people it always proves difficult to pick gifts for – and Dads often top that list. This Ping Pong Match Toy from After Noah would make a great gift for Father's Day or any other present-worthy occasion that needs something a little bit different.

Traditional tin toys have great charm thanks to their iconic designs and ingenious simplicity. Wind the key and sit back to watch the two players hit the ball back and forth across the net. The clever mechanism makes the ball appear to float as the players compete furiously to outdo one another.

The toy is a very reasonable £16.50 and you can find it on the After Noah site here.

Oasis do a retro-style dress better than most and their latest New Vintage summer collection is no exception.

There are five dresses in the range including this Monet Print Prom Dress; a show-stopping floral silk number with a single strap and ruched bandeau body. The skirt is classic prom-dress with a nipped-in waist and full skirt with net underlay.

At £150, the dress is at the top end of the Oasis price spectrum but the romantic style won't date so should carry it through for many seasons to come. The range also includes fabric bags and scarves in similarly nostalgic prints.

Two Piece Playsuit from Topshop

Twopiece

Playsuits and shorts with vintage flair are back for another Summer season, adding something a little different to the many dress and skirt options on the high street. For the braver retrophiles amongst us, Topshop bring us this Two Piece Playsuit.

With a hint of fifties swimwear style to the piece, it's reminiscent of the 60s use of those style elements in daywear. The combination of a crop top and matching shorts is not for wallflowers, but effectively evokes the obsession with the girlish that pervaded much of mid sixties fashion. Finished in a nautical navy stripe the pieces can carry a vintage charm when worn separately too.

Get yours from Topshop for £28.

Printed Mini Dress from Debenhams

Printeddress

Sixties fashion in Britain is often best remembered for psychedelic styles, and while this was a trend that was relatively short lived, its influence is clear to see in modern retro pieces. This Printed Mini Dress by Red Herring is an ideal way to wear a bold print without looking like you've just come from the dressing up box.

The key is the simplistic cut of the dress, with an a-line cut, strapless top and mini hemline creating a surefire sixties silhouette. The choice of light, bright shades of orange, pinks and and off white background add a vintage-shop air to a fun and vibrant floral.

It's available now from Debenhams for £29.
