More retro kitsch courtesy of Urban Outfitters and this retro TV mouse mat.
Printed with an image of an old telly, complete with dials and mock-wood encasing, it helps you remember what we used to spend our lives looking at before computer screens and the onset of the digital age. It certainly brings back some fond memories for me of thumping the telly, desperately trying to get a picture.

It's made (partly) of wood and it's a turmtable, making this the Wood Turntable at Urban Outfitters.
Of course, it's not all wood – there's some plastic too, not to mention the electrics to make the thing tick. Switch it on and you can playback good old-fashioned vinyl at 33/45/78, as well as accessing AM/FM radio, all through the built-in speakers or headphones plugged into the jack.
It retails online for $88. If you like the look, but want a deck for using with your PC, there's also a USB version available for $128.
If subdued shades are your thing, you might not appreciate the latest reissue of the Adidas Training P.T 70s trainers.
The upper body isn't too OTT, a choice of blue or black suede with classic Adidas stripe detailing and logo in a conttrasting white. But the sole is something I would guess you'll love or hate.
Personally, I’m more of a tea drinker, but if I did want to serve up coffee to guests, then this Brown Links Espresso Set would be my choice.
The set consists of four espresso cups with matching saucers, in white china featuring a brown wavy pattern that looks rather 1970s. There is also another version of the set with the same pattern in an equally retro lime green shade.
The set costs $36 (around £25) from Weego Home.
The Robots in Love Print is a design by London-based South African designer, is Luzelle van der Westhuizen, who creates products featuring geometric and hand-drawn patterns under the name of Mengsel.
Combining a pair of retro-looking robots, with hearts, birds and a tree, the design owes something to Scandinavian folk art and the work of Alexander Girard. The print is available in a choice of red, green or neon pink.
It is sold unframed, but apparently is the right size to fit Ikea’s Ribba frames. It is available to buy from Felt and Wire Shop, priced $43 (under £30).
No chance of being woken up by internet or DAB radio, but the Sankyo 204H Day-Glo digital alarm clock on offer here will certainly brighten up your bedroom – in more ways than one.
A white case with black display and large red figures (known also as a 'mosaic' display apparently) which are very bold in the dark, the clock also throws out some brightness during the day too, hence the name. Buzz alarm as you might have guessed – no radio whatsoever on this mains-powered clock.
A very eye-catching period piece and in 'impeccable condition' says the seller. well worth the current bid price of 99 pence.
