Love this design, not least because the Rubiks Cube Seat Storage Table at Surface Tension is such a practical item.

ALTD Colour Block Watch
Have you ever wanted your favourite Danish toy and digital watch to join forces and create some sort of brightly coloured time-telling device? Well, you're in luck.
Lego 1960s Volkswagen T1 Camper Van
I know we featured the Space Shuttle set the other day, but we think this Lego 1960s Volkswagen T1 Camper Van tops even that.
Lego Space Shuttle Expedition set
It might have ceased flying this year, but the Space Shuttle will always be an icon of the 80s, when it changed the face of space travel. It could change the face of a wet Sunday afternoon too if you invest in the Lego Space Shuttle Expedition set, especially if you have kids to entertain.
Yes, you can recreate the craft, with a Lego version standing at standing 44cm tall and around 25.5cm from wing tip to wing tip. The model features realistic engines, retractable landing gear, an opening cockpit with seats for two astronauts, opening cargo compartment with a crane that can hold the satellite and a ground maintenance vehicle. There are also three minifigures – one male, one female and a service crew member.
All of which needs building, which might be trickier than you imagine. if you want it, you can buy it from the online Lego store for £81.99.
Crochet Moomin
Moomins have been found adorning many products in recent years, so it seems only right that those cute Finnish characters should be recreated as toys too.
Crochet Moomins are available in a variety of different characters from the 1950s book including Moominpappa, Moominmamma and Moomin snorkmaiden. You might you are too old for a soft toy, but if you consider it more as a classic piece of Finnish design, then there is nothing to stop you being this.
They cost £14.99 from Cloth Ears.

The garland costs £8.
