Perfect stocking fillers and last minute pressies, our best selling Christmas gifts of 2012!

Christmas is fast approaching and if you're struggling for ideas for last minute Xmas gifts have I got the perfect blog for you!  We've got a particularly wonderful collection of retro gifts this year that is sure to cater to any taste and add a touch of fun and laughter to your big festive day. Without any further delay, I am very proud to present our best selling Christmas gifts of 2012!

Airplane Don't Call Me Shirley Mug

Voted the 2nd funniest film of all time by a Channel 4 survey in 2007, Airplane! rightly deserves it's cult status and we are super proud to offer this very cool mug with the slogan 'I am serious... and don't call me Shirley', a classic line from the film. Released in 1980 and starring the funny yet strangley swarve old-timer Leslie Nielsen.

Mr Tea Sovereign Mug

This clever A-Team inspired mug features Mr Tea text alongside some bullet holes and a rather blinging handle which looks like chunky soveriegn rings. So if you 'ain't getting on no plane' and would rather sit back and have a nice brew, this one's for you!

Wakka-Wakka-Wakka, Here comes Pac-Man!

Being a massive fan of old skool gaming I am very excited to unveil a new range of giftware featuring Pac-Man, everyone’s favourite ghost-gobbling, pill-guzzling, motor mouth!

I’m a huge fan of the all time classic arcade game and always used to get super excited whenever I would see the Pac-Man booth in the arcades, it was always the best way to spend my ten pence pieces!  An interesting fact for you (possibly nicked from the Scott Pilgrim film...) is that Pac-Man was originally called Puck-Man, this comes from the Japanese phrase ‘Paku-Paku’ which means to flap one’s mouth open and closed.  There you go, you learn something new every day!

I know it’s a little bit early to talk about as these gifts are going to be added throughout the next month, but I am really pleased to be able to show you what great things there are to look forward to.  With products ranging from bottle openers to soap on a rope there’s something for everyone!  Here’s a rundown of what’s due.

Shaped just like the Pac-Man character with his distinctive eyes and open mouth, the Pac-Man Bottle Opener is guaranteed to be a conversation starter at any party. His distinctive yellow body and black eyes and mouth means he’ll really stand out in your kitchen drawer. However, you probably won’t want to hide him away so two small magnets have been incorporated onto the back of the bottle opener allowing him to be attached conveniently to your fridge door. The presence of the two magnets also means bottle tops stick to the magnets once opened rather than being thrown on the floor, allowing them to be disposed off tidily.

The perfect gift for any stressed out video game enthusiast or retro collector. Can't finish that super hard level? Give Pac-Man a squeeze, we're sure he'll help!
