Lenticular printing uses a ridged plastic film with two interlaced images behind it. Depending on the viewing angle the ridges reveal one or the other — no power, no electronics, just optics. On this set the picture switches between the glowing blue logo and a red scene with the Demogorgon. It is the same trick that sat on trading cards and chewing gum inserts in the eighties, which fits the series rather neatly.

In the series the television is more than furniture: flickering screens, fairy lights and radios carry the connection between the two worlds. A gift box in this shape is therefore not an arbitrary retro gag but a reference fans understand immediately. After unpacking it stays out, because it works as an object — for pens, for cables or simply on a shelf.

Collectible figures eventually get in the way. A writing set, on the other hand, moves into the pencil case, onto the desk, into a jacket pocket — and gets used rather than dusted. That is exactly why this set also works for adults who like the series but do not want a shelf full of merchandise. The Demogorgon on the highlighter gets noticed in a meeting without anyone having to mention it.

All six pieces are usable and not just decoration. The highlighter highlights, the pen writes, the sharpener sharpens. The VHS-format notebook fits in a jacket pocket and suits lists, notes or sketches. Experience says the two keyrings disappear fastest — one onto the keys, one onto the backpack.

For everyone who watched each season on release day, for teenagers with a soft spot for the eighties and for adults who watch the series as a ritual with their children. As a birthday present, as a Secret Santa gift at the office or as something to bring along to a series night.

• Do not work at the lenticular film with a fingernail, it scratches easily.
• Keep the box — it is sturdy enough to store pens in.
• Store the highlighter lying flat, then the ink spreads evenly.
• Check that the keyring clips run smoothly before giving the set away.
• Do not put the notebook in a jacket pocket together with the highlighter, or colour presses through.
