Barbie

As you might expect (and can see), these are superhero dolls, with Barbie masquerading as Supergirl, Wonder Woman and Batgirl, certain to appeal to both Barbie collectors and lovers of classic comic books too.

Get them while you can, priced around the £78 mark.

Harry Allen Roller Stop

Harry Allen

This bright and appealing Roller Stop is the brainchild of Harry Allen, an American designer who works across interior, product and furniture design. He currently has furniture in production with, amongst others, Habitat, Dune and Magis.

It's a resin cast of an original 1970s roller skate, so it's life size at just under 30cm high. Whilst most skates are designed to move, this is intended for use as a stopper: either as a doorstop or, if you have large enough shelves, a bookend. At £78.50 it costs a bit more than the average pair of skates but may prove more useful.

Raleigh Chopper Wallet


Chopper wallet

The Raleigh Chopper bike has become an icon of the 1970s and has been featured on mugs, t-shirts and bags. To complete the look, it's now available on a wallet.

This wallet isn't a design classic in itself, being a very simple fold-out printed design on canvas, but the price – a mere £9.99 – makes it a good gift purchase for retro bike fans.

Rock N Hopper

Moon hopper

You may remember this strange creature when it was known as a pogo ball, a lolo ball, a moon hopper or even a disc-o. Now it's back and Urban Outfitters have decided to call it a Rock N Hopper.

The look and the principle remain unchanged. For those who spent many happy hours bouncing around on one in the 80's, you'll know the aim is to balance on the disc, gripping the rubber ball with your feet and to jump up and down. And that's it, though it's much easier to describe than to do.

This revival is aimed solely at the adults the model isn't suitable for under eights  and for those who are willing to spend £22 on reminiscing over a forgotten favourite.

PaperPod Rocket

Rocketsmall

We love a retro rocket design and are always keen on environmentally-friendly design, so the PaperPod Rocket is surefire winner.

Made by PaperPod, it is constructed from recycled cardboard to form a rocket-shaped playhouse for children. The further beauty of cardboard is that it can be decorated too.

It costs just under £30 from Mimi Myne, although the handy amongst you may just take inspiration from it and make your own!
