A little bit odd this - hubby is totally mad on Life on Mars, and for Christmas I want to make him a "1973" hamper. He already wears wide collared shirts, velvet jackets and his dream is to own a Mk III Cortina 
Can anyone suggest some things I could put in the hamper? Sadly, they don't make party sevens anymoe or I'd get him one

I always find the best way to find bits and bobs for a certain year is to type in the year to ebay - see what sort of stuff it brings up and you should get loads of ideas.
I was born in 1973 but I'm not sure he'd want me in a hamper "Start every day off with a smile and get it over with" - W. C. Field.0 -
