1) USB Mix Tape
In the times before downloadable music and
MP3 players, anyone could record compilations
of their favourite music to blank cassette tapes
and create their own mix tapes. The USB Mix
Tape and Case is ideal for anyone who misses
creating mix tapes as it puts a modern spin on
the retro compilation tapes. Packaged in one of
6 styles of retro tape packs, inside the pack is
a 1GB USB memory stick that you can fill with
songs by plugging it into a PC or Mac.

2) Retro 1960s Blue Telephone
A quintessential British retro telephone and '60s
style icon, this classic design remains the universal
symbol of the 'phone’. In celebration of this great
British icon, this replica maintains the bold curves
of the original design in a Petrol Blue colour. For
modern convenience, the dial has been replaced
by push buttons but the original style mechanical
bell ringer has been retained.
