‘Get Real’ is a product series of all natural sweets from Blue Q. Lovely retro looking tins, and little candies with a big taste.
The lemon ginger variety pictured on the right is made from sugar cane juice, real lemon essential oil, ginger root powder and very little else (as they are super natural, natch).
Available online, you can pick up a tin for a mere £2

The weather is improving, so maybe a few picnics later this summer isn’t out of the question. And this Guzzini Ball picnic set on eBay could be worth picking up.
It’s a great piece of 70 space age and comes complete with six large plates, six medium plates, six bowls, six cups, salt and pepper containers and a spare container. So if you have five friends, it’s ideal.
It’s currently at the opening price if £9.99 – I suspect it will not be at that price at the auction end.
I love the 70s-inspired design of this Meditation Mushroom Stool – but I can’t work out what I could do with it.
Is it really for meditation? Or is it just an occasional seat? I think it’s the latter, but even if you just had it sat around in the house, it would ooze cool.
Available in the typical 70s colour schemes of orange or brown, the swivel base stands at 9.5 inches, the seat a further 7.5 inches and it retails for $100 (around £50).

Looking like something right out of a 70s electronics lab, the Tubes clock by B&W is very much a modern timepiece.

Available online, you can pick one up for £98.

The sun might have only just come out, but the winter clothing is already trickling into the shop – and top of my list for a winter coat is this YMC cropped duffel coat.
