Routemaster letter rack by Susan Bradley

LETTERACK_ROUTEMASTER

If you've already bought the bookend, surely your home is also crying out for Susan Bradley's Routemaster letter rack

As with the bookend, she's taken the instantly recognisable shape of London's most loved bus and applied it to a usually quite dull household object. The rack can be mounted or is usable freestanding and the cheery outline of the Routemaster is bound to make storing your correspondence that bit more fun: no mean feat, especially if bills are involved. 

The letter rack costs £20.

Lego Space Shuttle Expedition set

Space_shuttle

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.
