Ker-Plunk! Don’t you just love the way that sounds? We think it’s one of the greatest words ever invented. (Okay, so strictly speaking it’s two words, but what’s a hyphen between friends?). As well as having a great name, Ker-Plunk is such an iconic classic it even gets a mention in several encyclopedias. But it’s just as well the wordsmiths who write them aren’t in advertising. After all, any game that involves ‘the suspension of numerous marbles over a web of thin plastic rods inserted perpendicularly through a clear plastic cylinder,’ doesn’t sound very thrilling, does it?
Pull the rod…
But the thing is, Ker-Plunk is thrilling. So much so, it’s been entertaining the masses for almost forty years. So what’s the appeal? The aforementioned encyclopedias reckon it has something to do with Ker-Plunk being ‘a classic game of skill that can be learned in seconds, but offers a fun test of co-ordination that is challenging to people of all ages.’ We wouldn’t put it quite like that but we’d have to agree.

Back in the days when shag pile carpets were the height of fashion and the average wardrobe contained enough nylon to down a zeppelin, the only way to call someone in the UK was via a GPO-supplied telephone.
Good things come to those who wait… to dial!
There were no phone stores or communication companies vying for your money. You used what you were given. And what you were given was a marvellously clunky (genuine) plastic contraption with an ugh-ugh-ing rotary dial, shrieking bells and a dumbbell-style handset that barely balanced between shoulder and ear. Brilliant!
Two-tone Pink design
These triumphs of telephonic engineering are now unequivocal design classics, so much so we’ve decided to start selling the unwieldy things. Perfect for lovers of retro-chic hardware, Retro Telephones are completely authentic models from the 70s.

Who needs flash ice crushing contraptions when you’ve got Mr Frosty? Not us - or you - because this new and improved version of everyone’s favourite comedy ice crusher does the job to perfection.
Yes, we realise crushing ice via a tubby plastic snowman isn’t quite as swish as using one of those raucous fridge-mounted contraptions, but it’s just as effective and a million times more amusing. Better still, Mr Frosty comes with a whole heap of accessories, including ice-lolly moulds, ice trays, sundae dishes and a juice dispenser called Percy Penguin. No, really!
Pummelling ice with Mr Frosty is a doddle. Simply bung your cubes (or fruit shapes if you’re using the included trays) into Mr Frosty’s head, replace his hat and start turning. The crushed ice is then delivered into Mr Frosty’s tummy tray. You can add fruity flavouring to your ice using Percy Penguin. Just fill him with your favourite juice and get squirting.

Fast forward a quarter of a century and he’s a cultural icon with countless games, TV shows and even a movie to his name. It’s enough to make you wonder why no-one’s ever thought to immortalise the moustachioed one and a few of his colourful cohorts in vinyl figure form. Well guess what? They have.

Nookii, most definitely is not your run of the mill after dinner game or even your average adult board game.
True enough it does involve shaking a dice and obeying instruction cards but that’s where the similarity to other board games ends.
In short, Nookii aims to add a little pazzazz into your sex life. In its own words “Nookii is a map of foreplay, a key to a door of possibilities on a multitude of sensual interactions”. How could you resist?
The basic idea of the game is for you and the object of your desire, to throw the dice, set the timer and then follow the instructions on the cards. Simple enough eh! Well the kick comes in when you see the categories the cards come under, and more to the point the instructions encompassed within those cards.
‘Mmm’, ‘Ooh’ and ‘Aah’ are all categories which have varying levels of sauciness, ranging from cheeky and kinky to downright rude!!! I’ll leave the rest to your imagination.
So slip on the Barry White album, put up the ‘do not disturb’ signs, roll the dice and allow the fun to begin. Believe me, it will do!!!
