Presumably aimed at kids, I suspect this Dr Who Tardis wardrobe is more likely to be bought by adults.
Yes, pretend you’re the doctor by nipping in and out of this self-assembly canvas construction, with the added bonus of a single rail inside for your space age clobber. Make a K9 out of a waste bin and some old wire and you’ll be ready to conquer the galaxy.
Sized at 187 x 84 x 84cm when constructed, you can pick it up for £29.99.
If you liked the bold fruit print of Enzo Mari’s “La Mala” and "La Per" that we featured recently but weren’t so keen on the price tag, perhaps the Marimekko "Paaryna" Wall Hanging will be a good alternative.
Hand screen-printed on cotton, the wall hanging measures 57 inches by 36 inches and features the bold pear design created by Maija Isola and Kristina Isola in 1969.
It costs just $24.95 (approximately £13) from CB2, who also sell appropriate all the appropriate rails and hooks too.
Microzine is a men’s lifestyle store so they have plenty of gadgets, boy toys and other fun but not entirely practical things. In the Boy Toy section, are a range of Star Wars Russian Dolls.
Each set comprises of three dolls, but rather than each doll being the same on a smaller scale, each doll represents a stage in that character’s life across the film series. Pictured here is the Darth Vader set, but there are also sets for Obi Wan, Wookie, C3P0 and Sith.
They cost £11 per set. Visit Microzine’s website to view the range.
Electric cars might be good in theory, but in practice they tend to look more like a child’s plaything. Until now that is – with news that BMW is producing an electric Mini.
According to Automotive News, 500 of the silver models will initially be produced – all for sale in California. They will be built in the UK without engines, gearboxes or fuel tanks, then shipped to Munich for fitting with electric powertrains.
News of wider production is expected later in the year. No news on price as yet – but they’re unlikely to be cheap.

A real gem of a find from Fred Flare – the meWOW 1950s fold-out cat sunglasses.
Yes, 1950s, not 50s-style – these are deadstock glasses in very limited quantities. For your money, you get the a pair of glasses shaped like a cat’s head, which you can hang round your neck. But when you need some shades, just fold them out and wear them – showing off that period leopard skin finish.
Cheap too – you can pick up a pair for $10 (around £5).
Let’s be honest, it’s not hard picking out the main participants at a wedding – the bride has a big dress on, the bridesmaids similar and the groom and best man usually stand uncomfortably in ill-fitting hired suits. But jut in case there is any doubt, you can now pick up Wedding Badges.
And yes, they look just like your old school badges – except ‘Prefect’ ‘Head Boy’ and ‘Head Girl’ have been replaced by ‘Bride’, ‘Groom’, ‘Best Man’ and ‘Bridesmaid’, but still keep that ‘shield’ shape and safety pin-style clasp.
Might be useful if everyone goes casual in the evening or on the stag/hen night. Whatever use you choose, they retail for £14.95 per set.
