I don’t know about you, but I love it when I find toys similar to those from my childhood. I was so excited when Cabbage Patch Kids came out again and had to buy one for my niece that year for Christmas. Last year I had to buy myself a little Strawberry Shortcake Doll that I found at Target. She even smelled like strawberries just like the one I had as a kid! My boys had no clue who Strawberry Shortcake was and had no interest. She’s still in her box, but it’s a happy memory of my childhood. I think there is a Strawberry Shortcake cartoon on again. I might have to check it out sometime.

The other day, I saw that Pound Puppies are back! I had seen their cartoon is on again, and my youngest son has watched it a few times. My husband loved Legos and is so excited that my boys love them just as much. Transformers were back in stores again when the movies came out. It’s so fun to have that little bit of nostalgia. What was your favorite toy as a child? Comment below and let us know! Is there a toy from your childhood that one of your kids loves, or that you wish you still had? Here’s a list of Retro toys and products from my childhood that you can still get on Amazon. Maybe one of these would be a fun thing to get for that hard to buy person on your list, or maybe it will bring one of your children as much joy as you had when you played with it as a kid. I’m always looking for new, creative ideas for Christmas presents. I hope you enjoy this list as much as I do. I even just liked looking through all of the old toys on this list.

Caboodles were such a fun way to store things when I was in high school. I remember one of our teachers gave them to us for high school graduation with supplies and personal products in them that we might need for college. It was a really thoughtful gift, and those things were sturdy!

Here’s the link for the Pound Puppies. Aren’t they cute!?! It’s a great gift for if you can’t buy your child a real puppy for Christmas.

This is the Strawberry Shortcake Doll I had and purchased again. This time they also have her friends!

This one would be great for the gamer in your life!

So many of us had one of these! Doesn’t every toddler deserve to have their own record player? These things were made well.

Last but not least, Vintage Candy could be a real treat for a unique birthday or Christmas gift.
