Can I interest you in a Xmas jumper?
The image shows a novelty Christmas sweater featuring a Microsoft Excel theme. The text on the sweater reads "OHH... THIS CALLS FOR A SPREADSHEET". It features common Excel error messages like "#DIV/0!", "#NULL!", "#N/A", and "#VALUE!" as part of the design. The sweater is green and white with a traditional "ugly Christmas sweater" pattern incorporating pine trees and snowflakes. The Microsoft Excel logo is prominently displayed on the front.

Probably a little out of your time range, but any excuse to mention Alexandra Bastedo as Sharron McCready.
The image features actress and animal welfare activist Alexandra Bastedo. The photo is a signed portrait from her career, likely during the 1970s when she was known as a prominent sex symbol. Bastedo was a British actress best known for her role as secret agent Sharron Macready in the 1968 television series The Champions.

Lives of great men all remind us
We may make our lives sublime
And departing leave behind us
Footprints in the sands of time.
The image captures a snowy day scene on a residential street, featuring footprints on a dark pathway dusted with snow. The photo was likely taken in the morning, as the sun is low in the sky, creating long shadows. The weather is cold enough for frost and snow to settle on the ground and plants. A row of houses lines the left side of the street, and a car is visible in the distance. The image was taken on a clear, sunny day, despite the cold conditions.

Laughs in Celtic Frost.
Album cover art for Celtic Frost's To Mega Therion, a painting by H.R. Giger called Satan I. It depicts a frightening, dark figure with large horns and shadowed eyes, holding a small, skeletal Christ figure used as a catapult. The scene is framed by two large snake-like beasts with demonic heads, emphasizing a stark, sacrilegious theme.

I made my own, it has some poly pockets on the back, so I could slot in pages of info. I used it to hang things like 'this is what the big bad looks like' , with stats on my side, a picture facing the players.

That whole film is all kinds of wrong, even the boardgame from 1976 has the right idea.
This is a vintage board game titled Starship Troopers, based on the novel by Robert Heinlein. It is a wargame for two players, released in 1976 by Avalon Hill. The game is a strategy-based "Man vs. Monster" game, the monsters in question being The Skinnies and The Bugs. It is based on the 1959 science fiction novel of the same name, later criticised by Michael Moorcock in his essay Starship Stormtroopers.

A cauldron with green apples is also part of the display. The image shows the front of a house decorated for Halloween. Key details include: A large, white skeleton figure is hanging above the door. Another smaller, sitting skeleton is on the ground near the entrance. The door is decorated with caution tape that has "HAUNTED HOUSE" written on it. There are large spiderwebs covering the window to the right of the door. A small plaque with the number "36" is visible on the wall next to the door
