Wanna play the guitar like Johnny Marr? If that's a 'yes', you'll need the kit to do it – something like this Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar Signature Model guitar.

Make a City London postcard set
Yesterday we showed you tiles based on postcards from the '50s and '60s but for an alternate tourist take with a distinctly retro feel, try this Make A City London postcard set.
The set features five designs to cut-out and stick together that are based around a very nostalgic view of the city including rock and roll and fish and chips and, of course, the Routemaster bus. The designs are executed in bright colours and have a very Pop feel. In fact, given the subject matter of the postcards they'd have probably been as applicable in 'Swinging London' as they are now.
At only £3 for a set, they're as cheap as the chips they illustrate.

Britpop wallpaper at Wallpaper Space
If Noel Gallagher is looking to do a spot of decorating to take his mind off the Oasis split, he may well be interested in this Britpop wallpaper from Wallpaper Space. Not only does it revive that 1990s era when he was at his peak in popularity but of course, by default, it reflects Britpop's obsession with the sixties. Handily it also fits well with the trend for union jack patriotism that's going on in interior design right now.
The wallpaper is printed with newspaper stories from the nineties, superimposed with union jack patterned shapes of dogs, phone boxes, minis and (especially for you Noel) guitars. The paper is shown in its most traditional red, white and blue colour way above but also comes in, what Wallpaper Space describes as poptastic pink, camouflage green, urban grey or liquorice black. All the papers have a matt finish.
The paper costs £55 a roll from the Wallpaper Space website
Gibson plectrum door knobs
Gibson produce some of the most recognisable guitars in the world, and also have a logo to match. If you fancy adding a rock ‘n’ roll touch to the rooms in your house, how about these Gibson guitar door knobs?
They are handmade by Karoline Mileham using plectrums and, for the finishing touch, she also makes matching wall switches. It’s a simple and effective idea and the £7.99 price tag, though a significant mark-up on the cost of the individual plectrums, is still nowhere near the cost of one of their guitars.
