Following on from the Sex Pistols coasters we featured a while back, here’s something similar from a slightly different era – Two Tone label coasters.
A set of four coasters, printed ‘using the latest sublimation techniques’ and each featuring an inner single label from a Two Tone release, with a coaster each from The Specials, The Beat, The Selecter and Madness.
Good for nostalgia and good for adding a quirky touch to your living room, they retail for £5.95 per set.
If one thing could brighten up the prospect of work, it’s surely the sight of the Lego egg cup set on the breakfast table.
For your money, you get two Lego men, both with lids and faces and both able to hold a typically-sized egg. And both certain to put a smile on your face – worth the price alone.
And that price? £4.99 for the two.
Fancy taking a three-course lunch to work? You can with this melamine lunchbox.
It’s a three-tier ‘tiffin tin’, which means you can pack in up to three different foods in the one container – or alternatively, you can just use it for general storage.
This retro-styled lunchbox has purple, lime and pink trays, secure metal grips and is sized at 24 x 13cm. It retails for £25.95.

Forget the modern lunch box, go for this space age Snack Ball.
Designed for children, this ball-shaped container protects snacks for crushing, especially when travelling. The two halves unscrew for easy cleaning and the lid snaps on to keep things secure.
Available now for pre-order, it retails for $6.49 (around £4).
Thanks to Karen for finding this retro twist on the traditional birthday cake – the Lego building block cake.
It’s featured on the Betty Crocker site, but you should be able to bake the cake using any mix (or base ingredients if you know how to), icing, food colouring and some marshmallows.
Not exactly healthy eating, but once a year, I’m sure your body could cope with the sugar rush.

There’s nothing very rebellious about a cup of tea, but you could add a spot of anarchy with these Sex Pistols coasters.
Yes, from frightening local councillors to saving your best coffee table in 30 years. There’s four coasters in the set, each featuring an image from a Sex Pistols release. They might still frighten your Gran, but they’ll also add a smart twist to something that’s usually very mundane.
A set retails for £7.99. And if you prefer The Clash, there’s a set for that band too.
