Nostalgia mode still going strong, maybe it’s the time of year. Below is another list of things that used to absolutely delight me as a child (and here is a list of ordinary things that still do). More pressing, though — what’s on yours?
- Lite-Brite
- thermos with a detachable cup as lid
- puffy and velvet stickers
- White Out
- Barbie shoes
- the craft section of the Highlights (lol – I used to read through each set of instructions thoroughly and seriously)
- Tamagatchi
- Easy-Bake oven
- that iconic princess phone that used to appear in gift catalogues this time of year
- I used to have an A. C. Moore near me that sold dollhouses that were lighthouses and I always wanted one
P.S. I came across this coin bank in a gift guide and it really has my childhood aesthetic (no, I didn’t grow up in the 70’s). Always enjoy scrolling through the MoMA store.
