Lego 1960s Volkswagen T1 Camper Van
I know we featured the Space Shuttle set the other day, but we think this Lego 1960s Volkswagen T1 Camper Van tops even that.
Fred Perry long-sleeved polo shirts
The Fred Perry polo shirt is a classic, but not necessarily ideal for the colder months. Which is where the Fred Perry long-sleeved polo shirts come in.
Morrissey Dining chairs from Marks and Spencer
From the same range as the Fjord chair we featured a few weeks ago, these Morrissey dining chairs are another high street highlight, courtesy of Marks and Spencer.
Like the armchair, these chairs have got a mid-century, Scandinavian feel. Made from elm veneer, their tapered legs, and dark seats add to their classic feel. M&S are also selling a variation on these chairs, complete with arms for a slightly different take on the look.
A pair of the chairs will cost you £379.

Pac-Man Moneybox
You can't beat a bit of 80s-style novelty, which is essentially what this Pac-Man Moneybox is.
yes, not content with gobbling up dots on a screen, this Pac-Man will gobble up your cash too. Just drop some in and it plays an authentic Pac-Man sound as the money lands. Which means, as you have fun playing with it, you get to save some cash for a rainy day as a neat sideline.
You'll need 3x AAA batteries to power it and £14.99 to buy it.

eBay watch: Large 1960s Glo floor lamp
As a rule, we only tend to feature eBay items with a relatively low starting price, unless the item is particularly distinctive. We're classing this large 1960s Glo floor lamp as one of those exceptions.
It's a wonderful space age design, probably from the 60s, but possibly sneaking into the early 1970s. According to the seller, it was designed by 'H.TH.J.A. Busquet for Hala, Zeist, Netherlands', with the label still on the lamp.
Standing around 90cm tall, the ball rests on a lacquered steel tube stand, with all the electrics said to have been checked and in 'perfect working order'. Condition is apparently 'wonderful' too. £339 is the price – not cheap, but we don't think you'll see another for some time.
