Roter Mond 4-Slice Retro Toaster Pink
I love that this retro pink toaster has a crumb tray. The crumbs are my least favorite part of pop-up toasters, so that solves a problem for me! I'd choose the 2 slice option because my household is only three people, and it saves a bit of counter sp...

In the 1970s, my family had an electric can opener that either didn't work half the time, or risked you cutting yourself the other half. So instead, I used manual can openers like this one. Ours was a boring silver - I'd have loved to use a pink one ...
