What can you buy the retro gamer who has everything? How about the Nintendo NES controller pillow case.
It’s another Etsy gem, made with 100% super soft Fleece and machine sewn for solid construction. It’s also machine washable and dryable and good to fit most pillows.
Not a bad price either at $40 (£20), with two available for $70 (£35).

Fancy a picnic in the sun with some fantastic tunes this Summer? You can’t be without a portable record player in that case.
Far cooler, more fun and better looking than the myriad MP3 players available, this little 1969 Philips "UFO" Record Player is a great find.
It’s selling on eBay for AU $152 (about £70) and ships worldwide. (At time of publishing)
Apparently some DJs these days are using i-pods to play music in clubs. Shocking! We much prefer the old fashioned way (no surprise there) of vinyl being played on a turntable. In tribute to what we hope isn’t a dying skill, we’ve found this piece of art entitled “Old’s Cool Decks”.
It is a canvas measuring 30cm by 30cm, featuring a classic turntable in a lime green colour on a black background. It looks pretty good and it has a title that involves word play. What more could you want?
Its also a very reasonable price at just £7.99 from The Contemporary Home website.
This New York Notebook from Colloco will make a stylish addition to your desk. Its cover is decorated with vintage pictures of the City and an old fashioned map on the back.
It is compact and has an elastic band to keep it in place, making it easy to carry around with you.
It costs just £7 and can be bought online from Colloco. If New York isn’t your favourite city, there are also similar notebooks with images of Paris and Italy to choose from, which feature equally retro images.
What else is there to say about The Beatles? Everyone loves them, and rightly so, and they’re still given the creedance of cool they deserve.
There’s tons of Beatles memorabilia out there, but that doesn’t stop me fawning over certain items like this Sgt Pepper’s Tin Lunchbox.
From Kitsch.com, this drum-styled tin retails at a bargain price of £9.95, along with a variety of Fabs fodder.
It’s one of the most difficult purchases of the year… how do you find a coat that will keep you warm when the clouds set in, but won’t make you sweat if the weather turns sunny?
Spring coats are hard to get right, but they can make a great investment if you find the right one. This Pepe Coat from Oli is a great example of a perfect balance between cover up and lightweight, and the great colour gives it a real stand out quality.
Retailing at £90, this double breasted jacket is by no means a bargain, but it might just be the investment that you swear by.
