The Best Christmas Gift Guide On The Net!

It’s that time of the year, where you’ve got to sit back and really take a good look at your friends and family, and think, just what the hell would they want from me!? Well this year, (The Retro Store’s first Christmas may I add 🎄🎅🏻) we’ve put together a seriously fun and wide ranging gift guide we think will sort you out, and without too much damage to the old wallet. So without further ado, let’s go!
For the one who can’t wait for the new Star Wars movie


If you are, or know someone who can’t wait for The Force Awakens as much as us, then get yourself right over to our mini Star Wars range. Above is 4 of 7 of our “Star Wars Guide to the Alphabet“ range. They’re so good, and yes, there’s a C for C3P0 one!
We also have R2D2 phone cases, so for the full lowdown on Star Wars goodies, click here.
For the one who always has snazzy headphones


These hand crafted made-to-order headphones are something else. For me personally, I’m a huge fan of the TARDIS ones, I mean c’mon, for the serious fanatics, you can get “Bad Wolf” editions, that’s some real Ecclestone dedication right there!
Other choices include Super Mario Kart, Pokemon, Iron Man, Sonic the Hedgehog, and a ton more!
These ship from New York, so anyone across the pond, get your order in FAST! Details, click here.
For the one you know likes something, but you’re not sure what exactly.

So, she likes her photography, maybe he likes his comic books? Whatever the case, if you know they like “something” but you don’t know the specifics, let us handle the hassle, and sort you out with one of our Mystery Packs! We have £30 Present Packs for the high rollers, as well as £15 Bundle Bags, and if you’re the type of person who gives a gift that keeps on giving, why not sign them up for a £10/month subscription bag?

The one who’s obsessed with music

This one could be renamed to the ones who are always on Tumblr, but there are genuine music fans to y’know! Like me, for example. We’re working towards getting the very best and coolest vinyl back on The Retro Store (which was previously pulled due to logistic issues, woo fun) so our range is slightly depleted, what we can say is that we have two brand new turntables hitting the site next week, so keep an eye out here for those. Oh, and for all the cool turntables we stock already (including this UK exclusive) click here!

In other music news, we also stock these amazing looking, audiophile speakers, a bit of a match made in heaven. Salvage Audio are based out in California, so if you want one of these, go go go! P.S. American customers, you get free shipping. Wahoooo!
For the one who loves food

I know plenty of food lovers who’ll be getting something from our GourmetGadgetry range this Christmas, from chocolate fountains to waffle makers, these 1950’s themed machines will be an absolute delight to anyone who gets their hand on one. In fact, if you’re looking to even treat yourself, click here…
For food, sweets, coffee and more, here’s a handy link to get started.
For the one you know will like this site but you don’t know what to buy ’em

So if you’ve got a friend or member of your family who just digs everything retro, wears weird clothes sometimes, play music on massive circular things, and maybe even take photos that print out on real paper, but you don’t have a clue what to buy them? Even from this guide we made for you? Nonetheless, you’ve just stumbled upon the perfect gift for that (pretty awesome, might we say without bias) person!
This Christmas, treat your retro renegade to a Retro Store Gift Card, where they can spend their new gift happily after eating a full turkey and all the stuffing on Christmas day itself. We will send out all of the gift cards as close to 9AM UK time straight to the recipients inbox, but if you have any specific time preferences, hit us up in the comments!
We are stocking gift cards from £10 — £50, if you want to be super delightful this Christmas, get in touch and we will work something out for you.
Want one? Here’s the link!
You’re welcome, we saved Christmas, we know.
