Art Canvas from ASOS

ASOS call this canvas print 'retro' but I think 'vintage style' would be more appropriate. In a gorgeous fuchsia pink and gold, it's mounted on a chunky wooden frame and measures 30 x 30 cms. It's just £15, so if your walls are already bright enough for your taste, it would make a lovely gift.

Alternative Christmas Decorations

Not a sparkly, tinselly type? If you'd like to inject a bit of retro personality into your festive decor, these recycled vintage vinyl decorations might be just the ticket. Made by New York artist Jeff Davis, the records come ready to hang as a set of three for $18. Given that Christmas is looming large in the calendar, UK readers might need to buy with an eye to next year's decorative scheme. If you're in the US, take advantage of express shipping to have these in your hot little hands this week.

Gift Ideas: Laura Ashley Tableware

Laura Ashley has a range of offers on at the moment including up to 30% off on homewares, and three-for-two on a range of gifts and accessories. I love their casual dining tableware like this pretty lace-detailed tumbler at £4, available in pink and blue. The pink is currently sold out on the website, so if you think it's the perfect gift for someone (even if that someone is you!), pop into a store.

Pink Kitchen Colanders

Our feature on pink appliances for your kitchen is one of our most popular posts - people just love that colour! And of course, as I am here only to serve our lovely readers, I just had to show you a few fabulous pink colanders that have caught my eye...

Clockwise from bottom left: Maxwell & Williams light pink colander (£11.95), shocking pink colander from Typhoon (large £10), Typhoon pale pink colander (£10), fuchsia pink colander from Matalan (£5).

Anusha Painted Sequin Jewellery Box

Indulge your inner little girl with this very sweet embellished tin jewellery box from Anusha. It would make a lovely gift for Christmas, or keep it for your own jewellery - I don't know if I could part with it if I bought one intended for someone else! It measures 14 x 9 x 4.5 cms and costs £25.
