Both Lego and Playmobil are knocking out some vintage classics right now, with the 1960s Jaguar E-Type Lego set being the latest. The attention to detail on this 1,673-piece set is ridiculous. bit.ly/4vKcNIS

Vintage lights for not much cash? You need to check out the Floyd orange retro lighting range at Dunelm. Table, floor and ceiling options, all affordable and all looking the part for a retro home. bit.ly/3TjNQWV
Whether it’s for sporting action or a weekend away, here’s my eight of the best retro sports holdalls - and most are currently in the sale. bit.ly/4v9qS23
There’s something unashamedly midcentury about the design, so I’ve picked out my five of the best retro flip clocks. Actually, there might even be six. bit.ly/4vsU3xv
The 1969 movie classic was filmed here, so it’s apt for the Adidas Torino City Series trainers to get an Italian Job reissue. Three colours, limited editions, landing this week. bit.ly/4wpYLwQ
An exclusive range, you’ll have to pick up this Habitat x Scion retro outdoor seating at your local Habitat outlet or online. But note some of this retro garden collection has just dropped into the sale. bit.ly/4amcZpQ
It isn’t cheap, but this Volkswagen Camper Van cool box on wheels looks a lot of fun. Especially if you have a love of the full-size vans. Also, perfect for a heatwave. bit.ly/4eCU6QF
I suspect The Manchester Chronicles: True Tales of Music, Madness and Mayhem 1976–2006 by Clint Boon will be a gem. Great subject matter and an author who has been there and can tell a story. bit.ly/4xJbOdY
A mid-20th century icon, but the classic pen has now been transformed into the Seletti x Bic oversized pen lamp by Mario Paroli. Be great as a quirky light for a home office and can be used as floor lamp or ceiling light. bit.ly/3SZLqfZ
The attention to detail within these midcentury modern birdhouses by Fledgling Designs is a joy to behold. And the range constantly changes. I know the birds don't care, but these would look amazing in your garden. bit.ly/3QHdLa9
One of my all-time favourites and with 50 million pairs shifted, one of the best sellers too. The Adidas Stan Smith trainers in their 1980s incarnation are back on the shelves right now. bit.ly/4vpY5qR
I haven't done anything for dogs and cats for a while, so how about these? A classic retro Adidas top for your pets in various colours and sizes. bit.ly/4oJKkRy
Back in 2025, they released some models and a garage, which are being followed up by these super-cute Playmobil x Vespa 80th anniversary sets. bit.ly/4eqqDuD
It takes inspiration from a classic (the 1960s Alessi Cronotime desk clock), but this 1960s-style Ikea PS table clock comes in at a fraction of the price. bit.ly/44rjSCK
Hovering between modernism and space age design is the wonderful 1960s Gubi Stemlite lighting range, which has now been reissued. Interesting fact - these were used on the original Star Trek series for that 'futuristic' look. bit.ly/4vrkNPB
Good looks, strong heritage, and now with electric power. That’s the Pashley Briton-E cycle. That's right, this isn't a vintage bike, it's a very modern electric one. bit.ly/4cOVChM
No, this isn’t a toy. But the Tinyl Play Pro is a cool and colourful retro record player (or turntable if you prefer). Built-in speakers but you can hook it up to some external ones too. bit.ly/4weXo4T
Everyone wants the look right now, so I’ve picked out five designs for a 1970s living room at La Redoute - and most are on the affordable side. bit.ly/4ujWQsG
It doesn’t need to cost a fortune to go retro, as Habitat’s affordable 1970s floral bedding set demonstrates. Good looking and a good price. bit.ly/4sZJ0dC
This won’t be around for long, and when it’s gone, you’ll regret not buying the Lego Tintin Moon Rocket if you're a fan of the iconic comic book character and his crew. bit.ly/4u4nrtv
There is a t-shirt version too, but the Steve McQueen-inspired polo sweatshirt by Sound Is Colour is probably more for now. The t-shirt should be ideal for the proper summer months. bit.ly/4mKttNB
A designer I have featured in the past, but these Blue Note-inspired Unity prints by Bold Modern are a more recent arrival. Classic typography with a positive message. bit.ly/3Ppxvyj
Plenty of options when it comes to this kind of design, but the affordable budget mushroom lamps at H&M Home are worth a look right now - as they are back in a new set of colours. bit.ly/3O2ufID
Still looking futuristic today, the Artemide Dalu lamp by Vico Magistretti is perfect for a 1960s-inspired home. And available in a colour to match too. bit.ly/4swUuG9
I have done a round-up of retro bars in the past, but if you are looking to fill one, check out these new 1970s-style glassware sets at Habitat. bit.ly/3Nqaivj
Officially described as the ‘pizza pack’, this is the return of the 1970s Adidas Napoli trainers in three colour options - each with a little pizza cutter tab too. bit.ly/40WSKKf
Not only do these look good, but the retro space age office chairs at Dunelm are affordable too. Absolutely perfect for a 1960s or even 1970s office. Or a remake of Space 1999. bit.ly/4bUdnvQ
The latest addition to the Nytillverkad collection, Ikea’s 1980s Byakorre open shelving unit is back in circulation with something of a Bauhaus influence too. bit.ly/4v5PpXc
If you are looking for an eye-catching design on the cheap, check out this budget Mid-Century Mantel Clock at John Lewis. It looks vintage, but is actually both new and affordable. bit.ly/4buZXY6
A much sought after item has returned to the Fred Perry range, The Tennis Bomber in navy blue is back on the shelves. bit.ly/4lQCMLm
