If colorful, retro designs are appealing to you, you don't have to limit your fascination to furnishings to express your tastes. Telstar has resurrected the vintage Predicta brand and makes a number of different, retro models that have the look of yesterday with the technological advances of today. Although the designs of the Predicta TVs are vintage, the sets are not. They are made with entirely new parts, are compatible with VCRs, cable and satellites, and come with a distinctive remote control (if you'd rather have your remote match the set than use a universal). There are a lot of color options, as well as different finishes for the cabinets and mounts, and custom designs are available.

If $500 seems a little steep for an old-fashioned phone, you can take some comfort in the fact that this one is well equipped with the same conveniences as most cell phones, though text-messaging will probably be quite difficult. The Port-O-Rotary is completely portable and works in almost any country (tri-band). Just insert your SIM-card and the phone is ready to go, using the number and memory from your mobile phone.

The product description of the phone is a little strange, as it describes it as being high quality, but tells you that the phone will not have sound quality that is as good as a "pocket phone. Other disadvantages include the fact that it may be difficult to store in a pocket or handbag, and the loud bell-ring may be annoying to some.

Diane Von Furstenburg usually has people going crazy over her gorgeous dresses, and not necessarily the accessories, but the fact that there is a beautifully matching dress for this Maria Clutch is one of the reasons to love it. The clutch is liked with navy blue leather and has a red and cream print fabric with a bold, fan print. There is a gold-colored, sinuously woven metal decoration on the front flap, which unsnaps to reveal two inside pockets and a deep blue suede lining. Price: $390.

The dress ($475), by the way, is a knee-length strapless number with the same fan print all-over. It is fitted at the bust and waist, with a flaring skirt that creates a perfect silhouette.

Dad likes working out in the yard, doesn't he? While to some, a Reel Push Mower could be the Father's Day gift equivalent of getting Mom a vacuum, it's really a very neat gadget to have. Not only does it have an appealingly retro look to it, but it is incredibly eco-friendly.  It requires no gas, oil or electricity to run and the flame-hardened steel blades offer surprisingly precise cutting. The mower is made of steel with a foam-padded ergonomic handle and requires little maintenance beyond periodic (every 4-8 years) blade sharpening. It makes next-to-no noise - unlike the neighbor's supercharged grass-cutting machine - and the mower weighs in at only 17 pounds. Dad may even burn off a few extra calories pushing it through the grass, though you may not want to mention that added health benefit on the gift card. Price: $198.50

Can't wait to see the Notorious Bettie Paige? You can definitely capture the look of the 1950's pin-up with this fantastic Betty One Piece bathing suit from Bondi Bathers. It's retro and sexy, with a low-cut neckline and full-coverage boy-cut legs. The cut of the swimsuit is very flattering due not only to its slimming black color, but to princess panels that create a very streamlined appearance. One trip to the beach in this and you might end up with more fans than Bettie herself. Price: $131.
