MB Games “Bed Bugs” – the motorised hopping, leaping, jumping game – complete (1985)

A bit of a classic this one, if you're of a certain age. This is the 1985 MB Games "Bed Bugs" game, which unsuprisingly consists mostly of a "bed" and a load of "bugs". The aim of the game is to catch the coloured bugs in the bed which match your playing tweezers. The catch? (pun intended) The battery-powered motor underneath the bed sends those bugs leaping, hopping and jumping around, so grabbing them in your tweezers is no mean feat at all. It's a lot of fun. We've tested it to ensure that it meets the required standards of fun-ness (and we actually liked it so much we bought another one just to keep for ourselves!)

This one is in very good condition, complete (all bugs and tweezers), and in full working order. It takes two C-size batteries in the battery compartment, access to which is under the card insert of the bed.

Vintage Pifco Bedside Wrist Watch Illumination Lamp

Undoubtedly the smallest and probably the quirkiest item of lighting we've had pass through our hands, this is a Pifco bedside light which performs a single function only and it's quite a niche function at that! It allows a person to read the time on their wristwatch in the middle of the night without disturbing anyone else - it's as simple and ingenious as that. A clip secures the watch to the "Z" shaped light and a lever-style button to the side turns the little bulb on and off to illuminate the watch dial underneath the bulb. It's simple, and more than a little bit unusual!

In full working order and in very good condition with the cream paintwork in a good state, the light takes two "C" size batteries and can accomodate most watches with a flexible strap. The light is about 10 cm ( 4 in.) in height.

Retro Flower Power Orange Double Bed Sheet by Beldorn

A fabulously flowery and outrageously orange terylene/cotton mix double size bed sheet made by Beldorn. It is still in its original packaging and unsealed and unused as far as we can tell. Definitely a retro statement if ever there was one! And, if you believe the labelling, it's "luxury" too!

The sheet measures 230cm by 260cm (90 in. by 102 in.)
