Nostalgia is a powerful thing. Whether it’s a specific scent, snacks, movie, or toy–all sorts of things in our everyday lives have the power to send us back to our childhood. Every time I taste a Bomb Pop, I’m instantly taken back to 1996. When I walk by the store I used to shop at as a teenager, that scent takes me back to being 15 and searching for my back-to-school clothes. Then, of course, there are the retro toys that remind us of childhood.
I went through the internet and found some old fashioned stuffs that are certain to remind you of childhood. These were all toys that I enjoyed growing up, and it’s amazing to see that they’re still available to this day! Sure, kids may have moved on to newer and more technologically advanced toys, and other rebranded items, but few of the old reliable items are still there! Maybe they can make a gift for a friend who you used to play with, or who grew up around the same time you did. It could, also, be a gift for a loved one who used to love these items with you, and may have grown out of them or totally forgotten about them. Perhaps, it’s a gift for yourself because you grew up and forgot how awesome these toys are. Let’s dive in!
Hope it jogged up your memory a bit..
