Each set contains 10 gift tags covered with various travel inspired designs that include great pieces of retro type and writing that looks like it has been taken from old postcards. The tags are in muted, time-worn looking colours to complete the look.
If you like the style of these, the Welcome Home store also stocks some more products from the Korean company including sticker sets that look like old postcards and stamps.

If you are already thinking ahead to your 2010 holiday and fancy a retro break, then they don’t come much more retro than hiring a VW Campervan from Slow Lane Campers.
Slow Lane Campers has a fleet of original classic 1960s and 1970s campervans, which are fully equipped for a camping holiday with a gas hob, sink and cool box. The company is based in Stockport, which put it within easy reach of popular camping destinations such the Lake District, Peak District and North Wales.
Obviously a camping holiday in the UK is better for the environment for jetting off on a long-haul flight, but Slow Lane Campers aim to make all of their holiday hires carbon neutral with a carbon offsetting scheme.
Prices for 2010 start at £330 for an off-season weekend, up to £600 for a week in summer. For full details visit the Slow Lane Campers website.

It's an icon of American architecture and one of the most famous residential houses in the world – and you can now stay in Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater.
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Edgar J. Kaufmann senior back in 1934, the house in rural south west Pennsylvania is a stunning architectural feat – built partly over a waterfall, it uses locally quarried stones and houses an active stream, with cantilevered terraces intended to make you feel at one with the nature all around.
This Las Vegas shower curtain is another one in the long lines of products and artwork to
draw inspiration from Betty Willis' 'Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas' sign.
Willis never copyrighted her design for the sign, which was erected in 1959,
contributing something to the ubiquity of it on souvenirs and its use by people
trying to evoke the glamour of the period.
How glamorous a shower curtain can ever be is up for debate but
the sign looks pretty stylish as a black and white image. It's one of several
shower curtain designs being stocked at Rockett St George which is also selling
images from Paris, Venice, London and Brooklyn. Each curtain costs
£30.

You may be aware of the book Caught by the River, an anthology of thoughts about water including pieces from the like of Irvine Welsh, Jon Savage, Bill Drummond and Edwyn Collins. The book also included some beautiful linocut 'maps' by John Richardson which are now being released as prints.
The prints more than stand up on their own merit and show the journey down several rivers: the River Lea and the Lower Thames pictured, as well as the River Cary, River Coquet, River Ogmore, River Wandle and Upper Dorset Stour. They fit perfectly into the mood for rediscovering the British countryside even if, as in the case of the River Wandle, the city is shown encroaching onto the landscape. Each print costs £80.
