James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 Book - £24
There's a new James Bond film out this year apparently. If only someone had mentioned it. Apparently it's even better than Moonraker despite the fact Jaws doesn't make an appearance.

This deluxe coffee-table book is packed with full-page, high-quality photographs, including multiple shots illustrating the DB5’s appearance in No Time to Die. There's even a foreword by Daniel Craig.

Everyone knows someone who's a big Star Wars fan right? Well they'll love this Millenium Falcon desk lamp.

Game and Watch: The Legend of Zelda - £44.99
If you owned one of these in the 1980s, you were THE most popular kid in the playground. This was genuinely cutting edge technology at the time and there's still something very special about Nintedo's Game & Watch now. True it's no Nintendo Switch, but coming from a time when graphics were best described as 'basic' it was all about the gameplay - and Nintendo ruled the roost. New for 2021 is The Legend of Zelda but you can also get classic titles like Super Mario Brothers. And not only that but it doubles as a digital clock. That's right, you just got cool.

Classic Car Show Biscuits - £45
Presented in a very posh tin, these 16 gingerbread biscuits from Biscuiteers are hand iced and mean you can play guess the classic car with a Jaguar E-Type, some sort of Rolls Royce and what we can only assume is a Ferrari (answers on a postcard please). True, this isn't the cheapest box of biscuits you can buy but these luxury biscuits are said to be some of the best around. One up from a rich tea anyway.
