We are all nostalgic about vintage computer games. Although technology has moved on so much in the recent years the popularity of Pacman, Space Invaders, Arcanoid or Tetris hasn't at all diminished. Pixels are magical - we all have to agree on that - and it's amazing how they 'migrated' from computer universe to the world of souvenirs, knick-knacks, fashion, hair accessories and furniture. I have picked the best items related to Pixel Nostalgia from Etsy.

I always look for products which are one of a kind, original and designed with imagination. The idea of going to a High Street shop and spending £50 on an item which was actually manufactured in China at the prize of £1.50 becomes less and less attractive to me with such a variety of incredible designs delivered by original artists online..
So here you have a beautiful vintage table which is just about to get pixelated. Later hand-knitted mug-warmer with a pixel-based image woven into the fabric. And finally LightYourselfUp's bookshelf for all Pacman lovers where books actually become pixelated parts of the 3D Ghost's face! These are fantastic product concepts which bring originality into everyone's life.
