1970's murder mystery - gift for host

[camelsandcaramel]

Tomorrow night we're going to a 1970's murder mystery dinner party. What really cool / unique gift would you bring your host apart from the usual?

They're fabulous hosts and very generous people who mean a lot to us.

Doesn't have to be $$$ but I'd like a wow factor.

Your thoughts?

A lava lamp.

Arctic Roll

Kodak Instamatic camera

If it can be booze, a bottle of Blue Bun or Mateus.

Or a cheese and pickled onion hedgehog.

OK.. might be getting close to dinner time, I seem to only be able to think about food.

Bit late, because otherwise I'm sure I've seen viewmasters where you can get custom picture disks made.

Can you get hold of a disco ball?

A fondue set.
Lava lamp.
Bottle of matteus rose. (to stick a drippy candle in when empty)
Fancy ash tray. (almost everyone smoked)
After eights, milk tray or black magic.

Something like this would arrive on time if you've got Prime

Oooh a fondue set is a heck of a shout!

Can you still get babycham and cherryB? I'd take a few bottles of those for fun.
Liebfraumilch
Mateus Rose
Lambrusco
Advocaat and some lemonade to make snowballs.
After eight mints.
Or a load of penny tray sweets.
Brut gift set if it's a guy. Charlie for a woman.....you can get these at pound stretcher shops.

I got a fondue set for Xmas. Still haven't used it. Might dig it out when DH's cousin comes round next time (bubbles / social distancing considered).

Polaroid camera? You can pick one up for around £60 inc a couple of packets of film. Great fun on the night plus they’ll have nice mementos of the occasion.

A Sara Lee frozen gateau.

We've got a fondue set that lives at the back of a cupboard. We got it out once and used it with the grandchildren.

jelly mold, a vintage cookbook from a second hand shop.
an apron.

Good call on the After Eights and 70s wine.

Don't buy a lava lamp or fondue set - just wasting money.

if your buy Advocaat (?) &lemonade dont forget the cherries & those plastic sticks or umbrellas
(vesta meals from pound shop - I kid you not I have seen them!!! why I have no idea!)
Quiche Lorraine
cheese & pineapple on sticks (also vile!)
second hand 70's cookery book (invade charity shop!! they will be delighted if you go in they are still unpacking donations!!)

A cheese fondue or a Raclette
Cinzano
Campari
Babycham and glasses
Ingredients for brandy Alexander
Advocaat
One of those large retro 70s paintings of women

Or if you can find a local seller a Portmeirion Totem teaset. So amazingly retro

Hai Karate aftershave (they still make it!)

A bottle of decent fizz and relabel it 'Cyanide'

A Demis Roussos LP.
