Spruce up your home with novelty home decor

Make sure your grand designs incorporate these glorious home decor items

There have been many home decor trends in recent years. For a while, it seemed like everybody was hanging pot plants from the ceiling. And who could forget the bunting explosion of 2008-2012? You simply couldn't move around a fashionable house without bumping into bunting.

Thankfully, we've come a long way since then. Suspended ferns and strings with miniature flags on them are no longer the most stylish commodities. Today, the latest trend is novelty home decor, like scratch away world maps, scratch away maps of Australia, and moving sand art. Those are the must-have items of right now.

Impress your friends with a scratch away world map

With ordinary world maps, it can be difficult to remember which locations you've been to. Did you really go to Wagga Wagga, or was that merely a fantastic dream? With a scratch away world map, you can update the landscape as you travel across it, and better remember where you've been. Remember the three years you spent in Mogadishu? Well, now you'll never forget.

Of course, there's the additional benefit that a scratch away map is a way to show off to friends how well travelled you are. "Oh, you haven't been to the disputed zone of Kashmir?" you can say, with a smirk on your face. "I have, of course. You can see where it is, precisely, here on my scratch away world map".

Toys and games to entertain everybody in your house

Video games have been the 'trendy new thing' for a while now, but that doesn't mean the world has forgotten about good old fashioned non-video games. These real-world games can test skill, dexterity, and intelligence, as well as a competitive edge.

Whereas some board games and toys take up too much space, we stock a range of miniature games that won't clutter up your house. For example, you can get:

The world's smallest bowling set: Is your house too small to fit a ten pin bowling alley, complete with mechanised pin stackers and bowling ball rack? If so, you might like to procure this miniature bowling set instead. It's so small, it can fit in your pocket and you'll have to be careful not to lose it.
• The world's smallest chess set: One great thing about chess is that it is the same intellectual game whether you're playing on a normal-sized set, or an enormous moving one like in Harry Potter, or a teeny tiny little chess set like this one.
• The world's smallest fishing game: Fishing sure is fun. It's a wonderful way to detach from all your worries, and focus on the simpler things in life. However, fishing can also present dangers and concerns of its own. The weather, for example, is frequently unpleasant. And then there is the small matter of how despondent you feel if you don't catch any fish. Thankfully, there's this itty bitty fishing game in our online shop. It confers many of the benefits, and none of the negatives, of the wonderful world of fishing.
