Flying ducks date back to the 1930s, though, so not specific to the 70s. Didn't the first Polaroid cameras come out then, too? Where you got an instant photo. I think all the snaps I took then have gone purple or orange since!
Lots of 'ethnic' look clothes for girls/women, and long dresses and skirts for day and evening wear; platform sole shoes/sandals (I know, 'cos I fell off enough of the buggers!), Polyester (ugh!), trouser suits for ladeeeze; the dreadful brightly-coloured 'leisure suit' for women in lime or bright pink; Estee Lauder's 'Youth Dew' perfume, which kills flying insects at 50 yards; Vinyl everywhere - handbags, white Vinyl belts, shoes, boots. Dog-ear collars, hipster jeans and 'crushed velvet' trousers and jackets (oh yes! I had a pair of sea-green crushed velvet pants, with a toning dog-ear collar shirt, and white vinyl loafers with big silvery buckles. God, what was I thinking?)
Burnt orange remained a big favourite for soft furnishings, such as carpeting, and there was a particularly ghastly shade of 'tobacco' favoured for sofas and chairs, plus the use of metallics and pearl effects in wallpaper. In fact, there was quite a lot of rich brown and tan used in men's formal clothing, like suits and ties. Safari and pilot-style shirts and jackets became popular, too, usually in beige.
The spaghetti Western was doing particularly well, as was Clint Eastwood with 'Dirty Harry', Bond films continued to thrive, and there was a rise in both spy and war films and books, as the Vietnam war continued to groan on.
Package holidays were taking off big-time, especially to the Costas, so a week in Benny Dorm was the norm, rather than a week in Skegness or Blackpool. The Hippie Trail was developing well through things like overseas volunteering, lots more young people deciding that Kathmandu by rickety bus was a lot more fun than squeezing into family car for a dreary week in a wet Wales. (Which actually really wasn't much of a holiday destination, anyway, since the mines were still working and not yet turned into 'heritage museums'.)
