This is a post about stuff I like and think worthy of a mention because of the design and value for money. In the Harlequin Centre Watford I found the shop Tiger, I have seen it aptly described as a cross between Mujie and Ikea. I bought the bicycle paper clips (£1) and four peg Babushkas (£1) amongst other things! It would be a good place to find appealing and reasonable priced stuff for children's parties.
In Primark I found the very trendy 'London skyline' cushion, It wouldn't be out of place in the Design Museum shop but at only £4 it was a stylish snip.
A trip to London found me tempted to buy fabric, attracted by graphic prints. One fabric was printed with large stamps and the other with a map of London. A close look at the map shows a lot of artistic licence has been used, Camden is South of the river! If you know London maybe you can spot other anomalies, I guess it gives it an added interest.
Cath Kidston are doing a really charming range of London Olympic inspired products. I bought myself a Be a Good Sport Tea mug
(£4), I love the way they have combined the 'athletes' with London landmarks.
Hard to resist a bargain I know, and it is a nice cushion, but that Primark cushion is a well known and shameless rip off of People Will Always Need Plates' original designs, see eg here:

As with Clare's Accessories ripping off Tatty Devine jewellery
http://www.guardian.co.uk/fashion/fashion-blog/2012/feb/24/claires-acces...
and so many other examples of but companies exploiting original artist's designs without consultation, credit, or compensation, it is no wonder so many artists and creative people are struggling to compete.
I hear your pain Amy but it's difficult to protect design, it always has been.
I love the fabric ,and the cushion reminds me that Primark is a great place to shop.
