A retro-styled chair with a retro cloth cover – and the Skruvsta swivel armchair at Ikea doesn't cost a fortune.
Love that 60s-style 'tub' shape and of course, the option to swivel, courtesy of the steel frame. But that Krokek fabric, reminiscent of midcentury Scandinavian design, really finishes things off.
If you don't like it, plain finishes are available too, but all are priced the same – £79.99.
According to Adidas, this vintage football bag goes back 'several decades'. How many? We don't know, but we like the cut of its faux leather cloth.
Good for a sports bag or a weekend bag, it offers up a large main storage area, side pocket, bottom zip compartment and a 'Beautiful Game' print inside.
Available online, it sells for £85.
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.
Fancy mixing up a classic this weekend? You need Vintage Cocktails by Laziz Hamani.
140 pages looking at 'the lost art of mixing the perfect drink' by using just a few ingredients and the right quantities. Plenty of drinks on show, along with images of the end product. So if you like the idea of offering up a Mary Pickford (white rum, pineapple juice, grenadine, maraschino liqueur) or a Cape Codder (vodka, cranberry juice, ice and a touch of lime), you know where to look.
Although it's not a cheap place to look, this glossy hardback coming in at a weighty £35.
Here's a great spot of recycling – using old game cartridges to make musical instruments – the work of NESharmonica.
As the name suggests, these are old Nintendo NES cartridges, but mixed with a Hohner harmonica tuned to the key of E to produce the novelty instrument. They even throw in some instructions and sheet music, plus the original circuit board that features the game. Well, you never know when nostalgia takes hold.
Take your pick from a variety of games (including the Zelda pictured here), with prices starting at $24.99.
If you're after a bicycle with a retro twist, the Pelago Bristol vintage-style city bike is certainly worth a look.
two models available, a one-speed and a three-speed in black and grey respectively, both have a classic profile, as well as large 28-inch tyres, a lugged steel frame, Brooks leather saddle and of course, all those essential little extras – chainguard, reflectors, bell and kickstand for example.
Available online, prices start at 575 Euros.
