London Transport Museum babywear

Posted on | Leave a comment

Transport top

As part of their Christmas collection, the London Transport Museum shop have launched a new babywear range that's suitable for any time in the year.

The range features three motifs, all taken from a 1986 poster for the 'One Day travelcard', which was designed by an unknown artist: a Routemaster bus as pictured above, a retro spacecraft or a clown. Though dating from the '80s, the designs draw on the traditional style associated with the transport posters and look a lot earlier in date. Each motif is available on either a cotton long sleeve top, a bib or a hat. 

The bib and the hat are both priced at £6.99 each, while the long sleeve top costs £13.99.

Blafre Robot Lunch box

Blafre robot
After Wednesday's Lunch Man here's another retro way to get your kids to take their lunch to school (or you to take your sandwiches to work): the Blafre Robot Lunch box.

The lunch box is both retro-inspired in terms of material and imagery. It's made from metal with a plastic handle and is decorated with cheerful simplified images of robots. Like this lunch box? The Norwegian company also produces the same design on a smaller storage tin. 

The lunchbox costs £10.95 or you can buy the tin for £6.

Limited edition Alphabet print by Sean Sims

Alphabet

There is probably no cooler way of teaching our children the basics of reading than by using this limited edition Alphabet print by Sean Sims.

A bright and bold A2 print, reminiscent of something out of the early 70s, it offers up a different mini design (and word) for each letter of the alphabet, all on a limited edition print that's also signed by the artist.

Whether you want it for your own kids or the big kid that's yourself, it's a winner. Yours for £40 and limited to just 250.

LEGO Brick Light

Posted on | Leave a comment

10772112x 
Following yesterday’s matchbox light, here is another novelty light, but this time aimed at children (or at least the inner child).

The LEGO Brick Light, has four white LEDs hidden within its studs and can be used as a bedside light or mounted on a wall (the necessary attachments are included). It measures 8cm by 8cm by 4cm, and unlike many LEGO-inspired pieces, is an official LEGO product.  It is available in various colours, but it seems to be pot luck from all retailers as to which colour you will receive. 

It is available to buy online from a variety of the usual retailers, including Play, priced £6.99.  A cheap and cheerful stocking-filler, if ever we saw one.

Clifford Richards Robot Night Night Light

Robot-night-light3
We've featured some of his  original prints at Elphicks last week and have previously given quite a lot of love and attention to Clifford Richards' robot designs but have only just come across his robot Night Night Light. 

The wonderfully retro robot shape is made from recycled powdered steel and would be perfect for a kids bedroom. To up the eco credentials, it's solar powered and come bed time, the robot is backlit by a warm glow. Other animal-inspired shaped night lights are available, but this is definitely the favourite option for a good night. 

The light costs £38.
