Novelty Christmas Gifts

Retro experiences for the properly nostalgic

A novelty gift gets a laugh on the day. A retro experience gets a laugh and a story, which is a better return on the same money.

The Ford Escort Mk1 driving experience puts them behind the wheel of the car their dad swears was the best ever made, and the Classic Mini Thrill is small, loud and enormous fun.

For something with more chrome, the American classics driving experience covers the muscle cars, while the superhero driving blast for two is exactly as daft as it sounds. Experience vouchers last 12 months and eVouchers arrive within 15 minutes.

Nights out with their tongue firmly in cheek

If they'd rather be entertained than drive, the Great Gatsby wine escape room mixes puzzles with a glass of something, and Beetlejuice theatre tickets for two deliver the full ghoulish spectacle.

Desk toys, daft gadgets and pure nonsense

For something smaller, a hot dog stapler makes stationery slightly more ridiculous, and the Darth Vader and Stormtrooper salt and pepper shakers bring the dark side to the dinner table.

Retro gamers will lose an afternoon to Micro Bricks with 26 classic arcade games, and a personalised spoof blue heritage plaque gives their front room the recognition it has long deserved.
