Best Retro Gifts
The Rocket; 122 W. Michigan Ave., Ypsilanti; 734-483-2291; therocketypsi.com
The Rocket specializes in candy and toys, pairing a huge selection of bulk candy (including such retro favorites as root beer barrels and rock candy) with an assortment of humorous novelty gifts and toys. In abundance are vintage and replica tin toys, metal lunchboxes and whimsical kitchenware. With killer finds like Doctor Who’s sonic screwdriver and Star Trek’s How to Speak Klingon book, you can always count on the Rocket for that truly unique gift.
