IF THE HEALTH KICK'S PAUSED FOR THE NIGHT, WHY NOT MAKE THE TREAT WORTH IT?
Ask Mummy & Daddy Fizzy Mix Gourmet Sweets are tangy gummy lollies that hail from the UK and packed in retro looking share-style pouches. This gourmet mix includes Sour Apples, Fizzy Strawberries, Rainbow Bites, and Fizzy Cherries, Dummies and Cola, each with a lively, tongue-tingling kick. They're made with fruit/vegetable concentrates and are dairy-free, and palm oil-free. The tang's so good, you'll forget other gummies even existed. LA

The most sustainable lamps feature LED technology for energy efficiency. A bonus if made from upcycled material, like this unique number by artist Jon Jensen featuring shoes that can actually be unscrewed from the stand and worn... should the wardrobe budget be a bit shoestring after Trump's tariff gaffes.

What I Wish I’d Known About Moving Out For the First Time
There's been a lot of talk on social media channels about Madonna's 'comeback' album in 2026, a sequel to her Confessions On A Dance Floor outing of 2005. Because producer Stuart Price was waaaay ahead of the sonic status quo back then, we figure that he and Madonna will be working on some very trippy - immersive, if you will, soundscapes for the dance floor and beyond. Did we also mention spooky-like?
An interview with Peter Hook of Joy Division & New Order fame – touring with his band The Light in 2026
An icon since it debuted in 1930 (our editor still has his from 2000), the Louis Vuitton Keepall just keeps on keeping on. Light, supple and always ready for immediate departure. An updated version is what we covet now - with a strap for casual cross-body wear. Well, really for added security, keeping your most special things close to you.

⬇ A POP CLASSIC

CREAM EAR CANDY | JANUARY 2026

PopPics©: a cream magazine concept and product that is part online game, part pop/news guide, and all very fun to play
In the early 1990s, this show actually went to air weekly on Perth alternative radio station 6UVSFM (now RTRFM). The Each To His or Her Own Show (or ETHOS) earned the title of The Original Wireless show in an Atmosphere of Gay Abandon.

⬇ This despot, of course.
Although it's right there in the song’s title, people continue to sing “Or should I just keep chasing penguins" to the chorus of the chorus of Adele's Chasing Pavements. They even offer free hearing tests at Specsavers, you know.
