I have a baby shower to go to in a couple of weeks and on the invite it says we need to bring an item that was popular (and something that we laugh about now) in our day. It will be put in a capsule with a little story about it for her daughter when she turns 21. Any Ideas? I wanted to do the Purple Goana but someone has nabbed that. Also, it kinda needs to be able to be bought now (unless someone has the item and no longer want it!)
Thanks.....now lets remenis(sp?)  ------------- http://lilypie.com">   http://lilypie.com">

we did something similar - my family back home bought Caitlin retro toys (like the Noddy doll Debs loves in Caitlin's room  ).
Perhaps a Tupperware shape sorter? those have been around forever! I only know about old UK stuff, doubt that would be anymore of a help ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Also, if you had the time (and the inclination) .. do you remember those wooden boards with pegs in and you had a cut out wooden doll (like a paper doll but wood) which "climbed" down the pegs? ... My grandad made mine for me. ------------- SJ Callum - Dec 2008 Daniel - Oct 2010 |

My fav item of clothing as a toddler was a brown knitted vest with Winnie the Pooh on it (it sounds naff now but it was the late '70s and I was a trendsetter ok! I also had a jemima doll (play school) and my grandma used to make knitted dolls. I recently saw some black sambo dolls and also what about the extra touristy little moari dolls that you can get from souvenair shops. -------------

OK, still really long but here goes...
You Know You Grew Up In The 80's if: 1. You used to buy cassette singles… and still have some stashed somewhere… 2. You can sing the rap to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and can do the Carlton 3. Girls wore biker shorts under their skirts and felt stylishly sexy. 4. You yearned to be a member of the Baby-sitters club and tried to start a club of your own. 5. You owned those lil' Strawberry Shortcake pals scented dolls (or your sister did). 6. You know that "WOAH" comes from Joey on Blossom 7. Two words: Hammer Pants 8. You watched "Fraggle Rock". 9. You had plastic streamers on your handle bars... and spokey-dokies or playing cards on your spokes for that incredible sound effect 10. You watched "Duck Tales" (Woo ooh!) 11. It was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons. 12. You (your sister, cousins) wore a ponytail on the side of your head. 13. You saw the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the big screen..and still know the turtles names. 14. You wore stonewashed jean jackets and were proud of it. 15. L.A. Gear....need I say more? 16. You remember reading Tales of a fourth grade nothing and all the other Judy Blume books. 17. You know the profound meaning of "WAX ON, WAX OFF" 18. You wanted to be a Goonie. 19. You ever wore fluorescent clothing. (some of us...head-to-toe) 20. You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before his nose fell off and his cheeks shifted. 21. You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the only female smurf. 22. You remember the CRAZE, then the BANNING of slap bracelets. 23. You still get the urge to say "NOT" after every sentence. 24. You remember Hypercolor t-shirts. 25. You thought your childhood friends would never leave because you exchanged handmade friendship bracelets. 26. After you saw Pee-Wee's Big Adventure you kept saying "I know you are, but what am I?" 27. You remember going to the skating rink before there were inline skates. 28. You ever got seriously injured on a Slip and Slide. 29. You have ever played with a Skip-It or Elastix 30. You've gone through this nodding your head in agreement. 31. Don't worry, be happy 32. You wore like, EIGHT pairs of socks over tights with high top Reeboks. 33. You wore socks scrunched down 34. You remember watching Rainbow Bright and & My Little Pony Tales 35. You remember Alf, the lil furry brown alien from Melmac. 36. You remember New Kids on the Block when they were cool...and don't even flinch when people refer to them as "NKOTB" 37. You know all the words to Bon Jovi - SHOT THROUGH THE HEART. 38. You just sang those words to yourself. 39. Homemade Levi shorts.. (the shorter the better) 40. You tight rolled your jeans. 41. You owned a banana clip. 42. You used to (and probably still do) say "What you talkin' 'bout Willis?" 43. You had big hair and you knew how to use it. 44. You're still singing shot through the heart in your head, aren't you! ROCK ON!!! -------------

I am in no way endorsing illegal behaviour but you can probably download the songs you need (from a completely legal and free MP3 site of course) and burn them to a cd.
I wonder if you can still get garbage pail kids trading cards (we have a box covered in stickers but I doubt DH would part with it). My siblings and I also had the He-man and masters of the universe figurines back in the day.

Hehe, Kelly - you know the words so much better than I do... Annie was my first 'night movie' (a sign in our household that I was a kid and no longer a baby ) - holds very fond memories for me, and I soooooo wished for ages that Daddy Warbucks was my father! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

| Harry and the Hendersons were about a family who hit a big foot walking across the road and he just never left and they had to hide him in their house |

I remember playing with Cindy dolls (cheaper versions of Barbie) and wearing corduroy overalls. Oh and Nintendo for the older ones who were teens in the late 80s/early 90s.
Oh, the memories.......kung-fu shoes, fluoros, bike shorts, scrunchies (home-made hair ties), Georgie Pie birthday parties, velvet pinafores and roman sandals and mid-calf-length skirts, plastic headbands that clipped together. It makes me want to bring out my photo albums....... ------------- http://lilypie.com">  [/url http://lilypie.com">
