This Traditional Metal Fire Engine Pedal Car is not the first retro pedal car we’ve featured, but it certainly the first in the form of a vintage emergency vehicle!
Painted bright red, it has a distinctive retro look to it. The classic push pedals are non-slip and can be adjusted to two different positions to suit children of different heights.
It costs just under £100 and can be ordered online from John Lewis.
What could be better than chocolate? Simple – the Meiji Tetris-style chocolate game.
Straight out of Japan, it’s a chocolate bar with a difference – choose your type (white, milk or plain – going up in order of difficulty), then break up the bar in Tetris-like pieces.
Scramble them up, then try and re-create the block with the Tetris chocolate. Apparently, it’s not that easy – especially if you eat some. And if you can’t do it in one sitting, a plastic box is on hand to store it. Available online and yours for the equivalent of £3.50.

Ok, you’re grown up now, with a proper job and possibly a mortgage. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have some seriously childish fun with the voice-changing Dalek helmet.
it does as it says – just stick it on your head and you get a Dalek head and a Dalek voice – which should be fun for at least 15 minutes or until someone else in the house confiscates it off you.
Oh yes – and it has a glowing blue light too. Interested? You can buy it online for £40.

Good old Monopoly, the most enduring of all board games has gone through a lot of changes since it was launched in 1935. Thankfully one mainstay of the game is the Monopoly banker, that cheeky little tycoon we all know and love.
Retrobay has a new t-shirt featuring the man himself. The fun part will be watching people trying to figure out why your little cartoon is so very familiar. Get it online for £11.99 from baby sizes through to mens.
Space Invaders is 30 years old – and to celebrate, maker Taito is producing a limited edition t-shirt and a new online game.
The limited t-shirt is a joint project between Taito and 55DSL and is available from 30th April. It should look something like the above (although that’s obviously a mock up).
But before that – tomorrow in fact – a brand new Space Invaders game will launch under the name Space Invaders World War. It’s essentially a teaser for the t-shirt, but as its Friday, it’s the perfect way to kill work time until the weekend. Check it out via the link below…

Yes, another Lego-based product – but we think the Lego-based Desktop Calendar is a super cool addition to any office.
Three coloured blocks, showing the day, month and numerical day, which you can assemble in any way you like – on top of each other, sideways or in a jaunty manner (as above). And when you want to change the date, just press the top of each of the 80mm square blocks.
You can order online – bit sadly only from a Korean website right now – with the price the equivalent of £14.
