Show Notes
It seems that everything from the 80s is coming back. Whether you were a little one or a teenager in the 80s, you’ll find something on this 80s kids gift guide that you’ll love. I mean, they’ll love. You’re shopping for someone else, right?
If you grew up in the 1980’s, some of your strongest memories will be of the toys that you owned – or hoped to borrow off your friend who had one….
You know, the toys that all boys and girls in the 1980s longed for – the ones that were on every kid’s Letter To Santa!
If you still have the original toys, they are now some of the most collectable toys of the 1980s.
But if like most of us they are long gone, well, there are lots of these cool retro 80’s toys that you can still buy today for yourself….I mean buy for your kids so that you can play with them….I mean to introduce your kids to the fun things you loved in your childhood.
Well, that is my excuse and I’m sticking to it!
