Ferm Thermal mug apple

Danish company Ferm Living continually pop on this site with their colourful designs that often have a retro feel. The pattern on this thermo mug fits into that category and may also look slightly familiar. This is because they've recently taken some of Trine Anderson's most popular designs, including this attractive apple and pine number, and reproduced them on mugs. The mugs are made from 100% porcelain so you can directly hold onto them as you sup your varm kakao or similar. 

Completists will be pleased to hear the design is also available on cushions, table mats and tea towels. The mug costs £19.

Joseph joseph dip

If you are planning a retro style soiree, this Joseph Joseph Scribble Platter and dip scribble might be of use. The colours of brown and orange set the scene, but it's the illustrations of food on the platter that really appeal. As well as crisps and carrot batons, it features the classic 70s and 80s party snack of cheese and pineapple on sticks. 

Consultants 3 Fish in a Tree designed the set for Joseph Joseph and, for £22, it certainly makes a change from serving the snacks stuck in half an orange or a foil wrapped potato such as was the style at my house!

Skinnyspoons

The simple white outlines and colour scheme of Skinny laMinx's Borrowed Spoons design make it look like a classic, Lucienne Day style, 1950s design. In fact it's a contemporary piece inspired by all the spoons in Skinny laMinx's, aka South African designer Heather Moore's, house. 

Shown here in the melamine green and enamel red colour options, it's appropriately available on the items most likely to come into contact with your own assortment of spoons: tea towels for £8 each or a cook's apron for £18
