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.
Pac-Man Moneybox
You can't beat a bit of 80s-style novelty, which is essentially what this Pac-Man Moneybox is.
yes, not content with gobbling up dots on a screen, this Pac-Man will gobble up your cash too. Just drop some in and it plays an authentic Pac-Man sound as the money lands. Which means, as you have fun playing with it, you get to save some cash for a rainy day as a neat sideline.
You'll need 3x AAA batteries to power it and £14.99 to buy it.

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.
