New Romantics, Bananarama and Live Aid - that’s what I remember most about the 80s, but what about you?
So You Think You Know the 80s is a great little book that offers a really fun way to test your knowledge on all things 80s, from TV and music to fashion and advertising.
The book contains over 1,000 questions about all things 80s, and the authors have very kindly included the answers at the back of the book, so you can check whether you answered each question correctly (no cheating, mind).
So You Think You Know the 80s is a great gift idea for anyone who was there, but it’s also a cool gift for the younger folks who missed it, but still want to know why we donned legwarmers, deelyboppers and fluorescent gloves while striking poses and declaring “I want to live forever”.
My mouth is literally watering while I write this!
Jelly Belly Jelly Beans are the ones that come in 49 fantastic flavours including popcorn, cinnamon, mango, chocolate pudding and strawberry cheesecake - and they’re utterly delicious, by far the nicest sweeties I’ve ever tasted.
This Jelly Belly Bean Machine is in a retro style, made of a sturdy metal mechanism topped with a glass bowl so you can see when you need to buy another packet of Jelly Belly Beans.
Now here’s a fun gift idea for a variety of occasions.
The Drinks Monitor Badge looks just like the ‘monitor’ badges we had back when I was at school.
Back in the ’70s (how long ago it seems now), if you didn’t have a Spacehopper you were, frankly, weird.
