Regular readers will know we're suckers for anything in that distinctly 70s shade of orange, so we're all over the Guzzini G-Plus espresso coffee machine.

Designed by Hiroshi Ono for Guzzini (no strangers to this site either), the curvy G-Plus offers espresso and cappuccino, aided by a pressure of 20 bars, a 1.3-litre removable water tank, dishwasher-safe drawers, grid and spout and a stainless steel cup warmer.

Note that this only makes coffee from Lavazza Blue capsules – if you like the simplicity of those, you can pick up a G-Plus for around £225.

Obviously now is a good time buy a calendar being the start of the year, but that matters less with the Psychedelic Metal Sign Calendar as it is one of those perpetual reusable calendars.

Decorated with a picture of two figures in psychedelic finery amongst colourful flowers, you move the pointers along yourself to mark out the day and month. It is made of metal so ideal for hanging in the kitchen and measures 35 cm × 26 cm.

It costs £8.95 from the Dot Com Gift Shop, which also stocks a tile hook, wall thermometer and coasters in the same design.
