Remember these? Magic drawing slates! I haven't seen once since I was about six years old.

These magic drawing slates are just £1 over at www.dotcomgiftshop and would make a cute little retro pressie for someone special, or a fun item for popping in a Christmas stocking or a party bag.

We used to lose hours drawing masterpieces on these as kids, and the magic lay in the fact that you could rub out your picture and start all over again endlessly. I think kids would love them as a toy to keep them entertained on long journeys and I bet they'd have real novelty value as a radical alternative to all our modern gadgetry!

Delivery is £3.95 so you will need to purchase several, or other items as well, to make it worth your while but I'm tempted to snap these up as party bag goodies for later in the year... that is, if you don't beat me to it!

There are HEAPS of other slate designs so do have a good look around the site!
