One of our favourites in the whole shop has got to be the 1980s play food . I love a bit of old packaging and advertising. There are some old teatime favourites here, including beans and burger bites which I would like to think is no longer available!
My love of play food extends to the little marmite jar keyring, designed to hold up to 10 £1.00 coins.
