New in at Urban Outfitters is this Handlebar Moustache Corkscrew.
The handle of the corkscrew is a black moustache, whose curling ends double as a bottle open. The design surely must take its inspiration from the famous moustache of Salvador Dali and I feel certain that he would approve of the surreal fun nature of this item.

My Egg and Soldiers set by Takae Mizutani and Sons is a product inspired by that childhood favourite of egg and toast soldiers.
The egg cup is shaped like a castle, but where this set is truly unique is that the toast gets its own container too – a horse-shaped cup, so they can look like toy soldiers going into battle.
The Egg and Soldiers set is available in either white or natural and costs £22.85 from Brighton Pod.
Though it's definitely not ice cream weather at the moment, if you are thinking about having a summer event, you may well want to hire Vintage Scoops for the occasion.
Like Everyday is like Sundae that we featured a couple of years ago, Vintage Scoops offers the hire of a traditional ice cream van. In this case, the van in question is Betty – a 1973 CF van that's been given a bit of a pretty face lift. The owner, Hayley, dressed in her finest fifties frock can serve your guests Beechdean farmhouse diary ice cream, as well as soft drinks from glass bottles and traditional sweets.
Vintage Scoops is based near Milton Keynes and is available to hire within a 30 mile radius. More details and contact details for pricing can all be found on the Vintage Scoops website.

Back in the dark days of 2006, we featured a Lego ice cube maker, which knocked out frozen blocks the shape of lego bricks. Well, now the company has gone one better with the Lego Minifigure ice cube maker.
I think you've guessed how this works and what it does – just add water to the blue tray and in a matter of an hour or so, you'll have your own mini army of Minifigures, ready to pop into a glass, as well as impress your mates.
It's available via the Lego store right now, £3.99 gets you one.

Joseph Joseph’s products often have a retro theme and this Vinyl Chopping Board, exclusive to Urban Outfitters, is no exception.
Shaped like a record, it is made from toughened glass – a real vinyl record won’t be much use against a sharp knife. It measures 30cm in diameter, which also makes it the same size as a traditional 12 inch record or album. The record label features a bold tomato design, as a nice little parody of the Apple label logo.
It costs £15 from Urban Outfitters.
Nostalgic for the days of cassette tapes? Even if your choice of musical format has moved on, you can share your love with this C60 mug, designed by Rod Clark.
