After the success of its Morrissey Christmas jumpers, Viva Moz has created something of more use all-year round, these Morrissey socks.

Viva Moz Morrissey Christmas sweaters now available to pre-order
These were around some time back, then disappeared fairly quickly. Now the Viva Moz Morrissey Christmas sweaters are back once more – but you'll have to be quick to get one.
Morrissey Dining chairs from Marks and Spencer
From the same range as the Fjord chair we featured a few weeks ago, these Morrissey dining chairs are another high street highlight, courtesy of Marks and Spencer.
Like the armchair, these chairs have got a mid-century, Scandinavian feel. Made from elm veneer, their tapered legs, and dark seats add to their classic feel. M&S are also selling a variation on these chairs, complete with arms for a slightly different take on the look.
A pair of the chairs will cost you £379.

The Smiths limited edition Complete Collector’s Boxset on Rhino
Morrissey continues to get the headlines (for better or worse) some 30 years or so after the group formed, but very soon, you'll be able to re-discover just why he came to prominence in the first place – by grabbing The Smiths Complete Collector's Boxset on Rhino.
It's impressive. Even if you have all the original albums in your collection, you'll be tempted by this. As long as you are a Smiths fan, that is. The collection has been 'reworked' by Johnny Marr and Rhino UK, with the set including all four of the band's studio albums (The Smiths, Meat Is Murder, The Queen Is Dead and Strangeways, Here We Come) plus live album Rank and compilations Hatful Of Hollow, The World Won’t Listen and Louder Than Bombs. Each has been taken back to original tape sources and remastered by Johnny Marr at Metropolis Studios in London.
Victorian Collage Cards by Spotted Sparrow
Spotted Sparrow has produced the great Victorian Collage Cards range, which combines Victorian imagery with 1980s pop references. An unusual combination, but it works well.
There are eight designs to pick from, some more credible than others. As well as the Last of the Famous International Playboys design pictured here, I like the designs based on Love Will Tear Us Apart, Lips Like Sugar and You Spin Me Round (featuring a Penny Farthing). The cards cost £3.50 each which includes the option of having your own personalised message printed inside.
Go to the Spotted Sparrow website to see the whole range.
Smiths-inspired How Soon Is Now? t-shirt by Sometimes
It's the kind of garment you'd probably expect to see in a university bar or sixth form common room in the mid-80s, but this How Soon Is Now? t-shirt by Sometimes is actually a new item.
If you haven't guessed, the words on the front of the t-shirt are a selection from The Smiths' How Soon Is Now? track, so you can share Morrissey's misery wherever you are. Just as long as you buy the t-shirt.
As far as we know, it's only available from the US, but let us know if that's not the case. It retails for $32.
