Totally Tacky Gifts

Pin Art

August 7th, 2008 by Lisa

Ah.. the eighties. Shell suits, dodgy hair dos and Maggie T were just some of the things that made the decade truly iconic. And the toys, well they were simply magnificent. We’ve taken it upon ourselves to bring back the ultimate 80s office toy - Pin Art - and it looks as cool as ever. If you were in a daze for most of the 80s and have never seen one (erm what were you doing?), it’s a clear casing that houses thousands of blunt pins for you to sink objects into and create 3D impressions. The first thing we did was sink our face into it, then the stapler, then made immature hand gestures (the list goes on). Pin Art brings the fun and innovation of the 80s into the now and onto your desktop.

Tamagotchi

June 14th, 2008 by Lisa

Just as we predicted, the Noughties relaunch of Tamagotchi has been a rip-roaring success. So say konichiwa to Tamagotchi Familitchi, an all new wave of the world’s favourite handheld virtual pets.

For anyone who’s spent the past twenty years with their head submerged in porridge, Tamagotchi (Japanese for lovable egg) are pocket-sized electronic gizmos containing an animated pet that ‘lives’ on a little screen.

Retro Telephones

June 14th, 2008 by Lisa

Telephones were far more interesting back in the 20th century. They didn’t have many fancypants features but in terms of looks they were the business. Indeed these triumphs of telephonic engineering are now unequivocal design classics, so much so we’ve decided to start selling the stylish blighters.

Perfect for lovers of retro-chic hardware, Retro Telephones are guaranteed to re-ignite your love for gabbing away on the blower for hours on end. And even if you only recognise them from repeats of The Sweeney and ancient Doris Day rom-coms, we think you’ll agree they put today’s wimpy handsets to shame.

Fraggle Rock

June 14th, 2008 by Lisa

Think of Muppets and you usually think of the Muppet Show, Sesame Street and the England football team. But what about Fraggle Rock? You remember, the surreal 80s TV show about a gang of cave dwelling critters and a talking compost heap. In common with most of Jim Henson’s forays into TV it was brilliantly bizarre and made household names (well almost) of its zany lead characters.
