For the retro gaming addict who just can't let go, we have these Space Invaders salt and pepper shakers.
Actually, the official name is 'retro arcade salt and pepper shakers', which might well be down to a rights thing. But we know what they are, little arcade aliens, adapted here for seasoning your food. It's probably what you call a 'talking point' at the table.
Talking point, seasoning, whatever you use 'em for, the price is £9.99 for a pair.
With the advent of the summer holidays imminent, this Retro Games Compendium from The General Toy Store is perfect for rediscovering the joys of traditional childhood games.
The set comes in a wooden box with a sliding lid and includes all the old favourites: Jacks, Marbles, Dominoes, Yo-Yo, Pick-up Sticks, Bouncing Balls and a Pack of Playing Cards. A perfect holiday purchase, it could prove invaluable should the weather take a turn for the worse and it might just show the kids that there's more to life than YouTube and the PSP.
The set is currently on sale, down from £13.99 to £7.99 here.
We've featured this classic 1980s game in many forms but surprisingly not yet in the form of this Rubik's Cube notepad.
Unlike some of the designs we feature, this is official Rubik's Cube merchandise. That doesn't add too much, except a logo on the packaging. It's purely a block notepad, printed with the image of a completed cube. You peel the pages off as you work through the pad: much simpler to understand than the actual puzzle!
The pad costs £4.99.

Hark back to the halcyon days of postwar toy manufacturing with this perfect replica of a London Taxi, produced by toy manufacturer METTOY from original tinplate.
METTOY first launched a range of die cast models in 1956, creating the Corgi brand of small, detailed vehicles. Now they have created a new generation of metal toys, using the same traditional manufacturing techniques to produce this clockwork drive Austin FX 4 taxi which comes with front wheel steering, key winder and detailed interior.
The model is a limited edition, measuring 193mm in length.
It costs £60 from Paul Smith here.
