PIP Challenge! Thing you HAD to have when you were a kid.

What are some things that were really popular when you were a kid that you absolutely HAD to have?

Re: PIP Challenge! Thing you HAD to have when you were a kid.

  • I can't PIP on my bberry, but if I could it would be a Barbie car. The hot pink jeep that I could cruise around my neighborhood in. I wanted one SO bad, esp after the kid next to us got a jeep. Parents said no way. A few weekends ago, CB's cousin's little daughter got one and I was blazing with jealousy at a 3 year old.
  • Oh, and I would also like a tutu. Specifically one as cute as Ellie's. Stees, Ames and I are currently working on that one ;)
  • Precious Places dollhouse:

    And when I was older:

    Tommy Jeans (which I never had a pair of)

    And Doc Marten sandals (which I babysat for 3 months to save enough money for) (this is the pair I had too!):

  • I had to have my Barbies and My Little Ponies too.  But, when I was little the gift I most remember being a must have, obsessive want was a Puppy Surprise:

    I had an adult Furby, and a baby Furby. They were awesome until they would make random chirpy/jibberish noises in the middle of the night, and I'd wake up thinking my Furby was possessed.

    ETA: this also:

    I had a cheap version, but I loved it and carried it on my very important keychain that had, like, 1 key on it. lol

    Evil. EEEEEEEViLLLLLL!!!!! *hiss, hiss*

    My sister had one and all I remember about it was that it had the programming where you could "teach" it words. Hers didn't chirp in the middle of the night, but it did say some weird schit like: "Hello? Where are you?" 

    I kept telling my sister: Don't get it wet or feed it after midnight!!!

    Haha, that is weird! I tried to teach mine words, but I couldn't figure it out and didn't have the patience to keep giving it "lessons." lol.
