Retro Gifts Are Making a Comeback
The Best Retro Gifts on the Market
I was at a little girls birthday party the other day and when it was time to open the presents I was surprised at all of the retro gifts on the table. For goodness sake there were SHRINKY DINKS! I had shrinky dinks when I was little (and that wasn't yesterday, my friends). That's when I started talking to the moms at the party and found out that retro gifts are the "in" thing right now. Here's what's hot...
Shrinky Dinks
Like I said, there were shrinky dink gift sets at the party I was recently at and they were a HUGE hit. I'm not surprised. They were adorable. There were the vintage character sets and new licensed characters too. I fell in love with them all over again.
Rockem Sockem Robots
Remember the blue and red robots in the boxing ring? They're back! Rock Em Sock Em Robots seem to be one of the hottest retro gifts out there for boys and girls alike (although I really have a feeling the little girl's dad is going to get more use out of it than she is).
Strawberry Shortcake
Remember Strawberry Shortcake and all her friends? They're back too. They seem to be making great retro gifts as all of today's little girls seem to love her as much as we did 20 years ago. I'm tempted to see just how many of the characters from the original set are now available in stores.
Easy Bake Oven
Do you know the Easy Bake Oven, while one of the best retro gifts ever, never even went out of style? That's right! They've been selling them all along. I'm stocking up on them and giving them out as gifts to all the little girls I know for their birthdays. Every girl has to have an Easy Bake Oven!
I honestly think retro gifts are as fun to give as they are to get. Now that I'm thinking about it, I can't wait to go shopping for the next birthday party I'm invited to. It will be more like a trip down memory lane than a shopping chore.
