I love the Hope and Greenwood website, packed full of vintage sweets, with a website that’s the equivalent of a 1950s country shop. And as well as the retro sweets, there’s also some great children’s hampers, included this collection on a vintage-style suitcase.
Which means that once your little ones have polished off the sweets, they get a colourful suitcase to take on holiday or to store a few bits and pieces. In terms of contents, you get a festive mix including a giant gold chocolate coin, a frosty snowman chocolate lolly, a bag of traditional sweets, pink and white sugar mice and some Christsas chocolate balls.
In a choice of colours, the suitcase and sweets retails for £30.

Mugs, cups and plates are a staple here but we’ve not, to my knowledge, featured cutlery before. To rectify that may I suggest this Gingham Cutlery Set from Debenhams. 
Joseph Joseph have undoubtedly cornered the market in worktop savers and we’ve featured a couple of their designs before. The range now also includes two retro kitchen appliance designs; the Mixer Workshop Saver and the Espresso Machine Workshop Saver. 
Teenage dreams of being a rock god may have given way to a steady job, family and vital decisions about crockery, but you can still inject a bit of rock n roll glamour into your life with this set of Rock and Roll China. 
The rise of posh delis, patisseries and supermarket premium brands means that luxury food stuff is easy enough to get hold of these days, but as delicious as it may be, it doesn’t quite match the satisfaction of making things yourself.
