Guest Post: The Ultimate 80s Christmas List!

These days, it’s all about tablets, smartphones and  gaming consoles. 15 years ago, it was tamagotchis, Pokemon, and Beanie Babies...what about 25 years ago, in the days of yore?  What would have topped the Christmas gift lists of kids in the ‘80s?  Let’s take a look.

●    Super Mario Bros: Mario and Luigi are still popular today, but back in the 1980s, the two of them were revolutionizing video games!  In fact, pretty much anything to do with a Nintendo 64 would have made a pretty prime gift.

●    Cabbage Patch Kids: We have to say, it’s kind of hard to see the appeal of Cabbage Patch Kids nowadays.  But believe it or not, they used to be the hottest toys around -- Maybe it was their winsomely pudgy faces and sentimentally kitschy birth certificates.

●    Charm Necklaces: Charm necklaces had quite the heyday in the ‘80s.  Nowadays, when we think of charms, we think of delicate metal tchotchkes, but back then it was all about colorful plastic charms, along with colorfully chunky plastic necklaces.

●    Jelly Shoes: Okay, this trend has already come full circle.  They had quite the comeback, flying off the shelves of stores like Urban Outfitters a few years ago.  However, they were even more popular back in the ‘80s, and a lot of their popularity today stemmed from nostalgia.  Also notably popular: Jelly bracelets.
