We've seen (and featured) some interesting doormats in the past, but these Cassette Tape and Record Deck doormats at Meninos are something special.
Take your pick from four cassette designs, including the one above, or opt for the record deck, which you can see over the page. They might not look it, but all the mats are made of rubber, which means they should be washable and durable, with a size of around 60 x 38cm.
Prices for all are around $49.99, which is around £33.
If you're pining for the days of the cassette, you might be the perfect candidate for this newly-launched EOS Mixtape watch.
Yes, that's right, this is a cassette-shaped wristwatch, replacing the standard watch face with an anodised black stainless steel micro-cassette that features some branding and detailing. How do you tell the time? On the right dial is where the hands are for the time if you look closely.
Finished off with a leather strap and available in two colour combinations, you can secure one for $135.

How useful it is I don't really know – but for impact, you can't really fault this Rocket cassette deck shelf.
Rocket is the name of the designers rather than the product (which I think is simply called 'shelf'), but is part of a wider collection based on the two designers' 'common infatuation with rock n roll and disco culture'.
In this case, an 80s-style, in-car cassette deck that mixes 2D and 3D elements, specifically wall vinyl and the wooden 'cassette' shelf. The entire design is around 42 inches wide, the shelf part covering 11.7 inches. Two colour options, both available online for £95.
Novelty bags don't come much quirkier than this Cassette-shaped tote bag, which is currently for sale at Truffle Shuffle.
It is what it says – a large bag shaped like an old cassette tape, with a handle that looks not unlike some that loose tape that always hung out of old cassettes.
Ideal for a beach or shopper, but especially good for getting you attention, it sells for £7.99.
Cast your mind back a couple of months and you may remember the London souvenir badge from Shelf. This Shelf tape, designed by Kathryn Dale, is another example of their products.
It's a retro-styled scene of a slinky cat prowling a mantelpiece, causing some chaos amidst the books, dominoes and clock. The colour scheme of pinks and browns reinforces the 1950s feel.
The tape costs £6 and is a perfect way to add style to your packages or perhaps even your own shelf.

Every week a designer seems to come up with a new way to reinvent the humble cassette tape. The latest guise are these cassette notebooks made by Wednesday Garden.
The notebook is the actual size of a cassette tape and comes in four different designs, each with a different style of cassette on the cover. To complete the illusion, the notebook comes in its very own clear cassette-like case. Plenty of space to write down all your ideas for new mix tapes too, with 100 blank pages per book.
Wednesday Garden are a Thai company and each notebook costs 120 Thailand Baht. That works out at roughly just over £2.
