Well, I featured a Mini, so it seems right that the other leading light of retro cars is featured too. Bob Ross. Yes, the man with the big hair and big canvases, known for his wonderful The Joy Of Painting show in the 1980s. It’s currently being repeated on BBC4 if you want to get acquainted or reacquainted with it. Sadly, the Adidas City Series Christmas decorations were a short-lived thing, So we’ll have to settle for Converse instead.

The baubles are individually painted so slight discrepancies may occur. Each one is presented in a gift box.Note that there are also some wonderful Beatles decorations by Christopher Radko too. On the downside, they aren’t easy to find in the UK (which isn’t an issue if you are reading this in the US) and they are quite pricey. Last year I went for a robot. But this year’s sci-fi entry is this wonderful spaceship at John Lewis. The same maker did some slightly different ones last year. But this year’s set is bigger and for me, better too. Of course, we have flagged up the Primal Scream Screamadelica decoration above, but you can choose from The Pixies and Teenager Fanclub through to Neu!, Lou Reed and Bowie. These handmade designs are great as a gift for a music lover too.

If like me, you love a bit of Lego, then you might want some retro Christmas tree decorations made out of the stuff.Yes, a little bit kitsch, but I don’t see that as a bad thing when it comes to retro Christmas tree decorations. I could probably do without the writing on it, but the design itself is to be commended. A detailed recreation of a vintage TV in miniature and in glass. Here is another icon. There’s no shortage of Bowie ornaments and decorations this year. So with that in mind, I’m featuring two. Buy a pair of coat hooks for the Fruitmarket Gallery’s new engagement studio. Photograph: Sally Jubb So that’s your words of warning. Buy now or be disappointed. With that out of the way, here is the full list to hopefully inspire you to do something a little different this festive season…
