I just got the coolest toy catalog, and it makes me wish I was a kid again so I could play with this stuff…the site is called back to basics toys, and ironically enough, it’s mostly toys that I played with, or ones similar to them. Wanna see what would be on my wish list???
Ok, I have to amend one of my answers from the meme. My favorite Christmas Present when I was a kid was a science kit. I was 10, and it had a chemistry kit, and a miscroscope with things to disect, and slides, and stuff that even today makes me a bit giddy…
I can’t wait til my boys are a bit older. I am totally gonna geek out on them (shut up! I know I already do!)
Since I have boys, I guess my dreams of having a dollhouse aren’t going to be coming anytime soon, but I did love playing with trains and cars too…
Oh how I loved this silly clock! It sat on my nightstand for I don’t know how many years, and I think I may get one for my youngest this year…
I had this too…is it just me, or were toys more fun back then??
Anyone for an old fashioned game of Gnip-Gnop??
Oh, Mrs Beasley…I loved her so much. *sigh*
Anyone else up for some vintage toy love? Too bad they don’t have the same prices as they did when I was a kid, but I am definitely putting a few of these under the tree this year…FOR THE KIDS OF COURSE 😉
Oh wow… Flashbacks!
I got that science kit one year!
I remember I followed a “recipe” for plant food and killed most of my mom’s houseplants…sigh. That ended my scientific career….

ooh, good fun! i need to check into these!
i had a microscope too and i absolutely loved it!! but then i got bored because i ran out of ideas of things to look at. spit becomes a bit boring after a while. 🙂
Oh my gosh, I used to have that little television! I remember listening to that over and over. Wow! What memories!
I was thinking the samething when I got the Toys R Us catalog! Oh How I’d love a PSP back then! LOL
This is such a FUN post! I had totally forgotten about Gnip-Gnop!!! Loved that game! I wasn’t exactly science kit material. Sadly, Gnip-Gnop was more my speed! 😀
Oh, this takes me back!
Miss you! xoxo

I forgot about Gnip Gnop! I think I remember the commerical! Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Oh, I love the old toys! Target is selling vintage toys to promote the movie Mr. Magoriums Wonder Emporium.
I had the clock & tv. I actually still have my clock! It’s put away with a few other prized toys of mine. 🙂
Wow, you just gave me a memory bubble of the little television set that I had when I was a little girl. I also had a doll named “Chrissy” whose hair grew when you turned a dial on her back. She had like this long pony tail. I cut it off and her hair wouldn’t grow anymore.
ooooooooooo Mrs. Beasleyyyyyyyyyyyy I just loved her but back in the day she was to expensive for my parents so I enjoyed my Family AFfair lunchbox!!!!
miss you girl!!
Oh! I found this site a while back and oohed and ahhhed over the same exact things you have up here!! That clock and Mrs. Beasley in particular! LOL
Can you imagine Mrs. Beasley making it big again? I mean, she has a lot of competition with the slutz… oops, I mean the Bratz dolls! LOL
