This Great British Biscuit tea towel celebrates all that is good about one of our favourite teatime snacks.
It's designed by Jill Tytherleigh and shows some British biscuit classics, such as the jammy dodger, fig roll, malted milk and digestive. Charmingly illustrated, it's bound to inspire you to reach for that tin.
The tea towel costs £10.

We've got a sweet tooth here at Retro To Go (or in other words, send us sweet things!), so it's hardly a surprise that we're tempted by the Selfridges Selection range of sweets.
They're old fashioned style sweets, such as strawberry and creams, sherbet pips, cola cubes and the rhubarbs and custards that are pictured, which are all handmade using traditional methods. Each style of sweets is sold in a retro style bottle, complete with retro Selfridges lettering. Great to give as a present – and probably even better to scoff for yourself.
The sweets cost £5.09 a jar.

We've recently featured some new products based on Marianne Westman's Picknick. Another of her 1950s designs is reinterpreted here for a new market with this My Garden tray.
The tray features a pattern that was originally used on the My Garden porcelain. It shows a platter worth of fish, itself reminiscent of the Jonathan Adler's Neptune design that we featured last week. If you like this design, it's also available on a tea towel and on a cutting board.
This tray costs $28

There's a distinctive fishy and fifties flavour to the Jonathan Adler Neptune range.
The range includes trays, plates and tumblers, all decorated with stylised fishes that have depicted in various stages of blue. Like all of Jonathan Adler's design, there's a definite retro feel to the design – in this case, it looks towards the 1950s. Just compare and contrast Marianne Nilsson's Herring Design (or even the fish in our recently featured Picknick design). This range offers an easy way to pick up a serving of style.
Prices start at £5 for the glasses, with this salad plate costing £6.

We covered the reissue of Marianne Westman's 1956 Picknick design last year, and in turn the chopping boards that also used the design. It gets a further lease of life with these new Picknick coasters.
Each of the square coasters reproduces one of the foodie motifs from the design. Use them with the rest of the Picknick homeware range and you've got everything you need to set up your own indoor picnic.
Simple and sweet, a set of the four coasters costs £11.40.

After the Keith Haring stickers we featured last month, Ikea have offered up some more designs: the Marhult decoration stickers.
The designer of these designs is unknown but the stickers show food stuffs such as ice-cream, cherries and pineapple, all depicted in a bright retro palette and a suitably Scandinavian flavour. These stickers are suitable for using on tiles so – if they're to your taste – they're perfect for brightening up a kitchen.
The stickers cost £5.99.
