Oh dear, Santa got it wrong.

[Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride]

What presents did you (in your childhood)or your dc long for, but never got?
Dh resents loudly, when pissed that his younger DB got a selection of action men (he never even wanted an action man)
My dm let on, when she was in her 60s, that she never had a teddy bear.
So what did you want that Santa left on his sleigh?

[CrispyCrochet]

One of those fancy American girl dos. Not sure if they had them in England but they were (are - maybe still around?) really expensive dolls that came with a name & clothes & a hobby.

[ImNoClownIWontBackDown]

Barbie dream house or whatever it was called. Never mind that I had so many furniture sets they wouldn't have actually fitted inside it. It had a lift, ffs.

[MissHJ]

A dolls house. I was desperate for one for years. My grandfather kept promising he would make me one(a good carpenter) and never did. He is 62 now and I still resent him for never making my dolls house for christmas!

[Davros]

American Girl Doll is still big business and genuine ones not available in uk. There is a massive shop on 5th avenue

[MerryMo]

Mr Frosty!

Apparently anyone I know who had one said it was utter shite. But I have come close to buying one for my kids just because!

[Letthemtalk]

A filigree gold ring. I was sure I was getting it, so saved the box shaped present to the end, discarding all the rest. The box shaped present was just that, a wee box. I collected boxes at the time. The disappointment has stayed with me.

[KERALA1]

Cabbage patch kid

[lemisscared]

a pony

[BrightestAndBest]

A big yellow teapot - I got a Fisher Price tree house instead, but it just wasn't the same.

[PulpsNotFiction]

I wanted a pram and a tiny tears doll.
I got a bike and a tiny tears doll
So I used to fasten the doll to the seat with my dressing gown belt, dress the dog in my nanans head scarf and take it for a walk attached to said pram with a skipping rope. It was a red setter too! and much bigger than me. Must have looked crackers but in my head I was just heading out, taking my baby and my dog for a walk.

[AFingerofFudge]

Tiny Tears doll. I was desperate for one and never did get one. Oh, and one of those shiny 3 wheeler bikes that were around in the 70's. Oh, and a Sindy with a fur coat (!)

[RandomMess]

A stocking, asked for one for years and years but never got one!

[stargirl1701]

Mr Frosty

[funnyface31]

Aww fuckety why don't you buy your mil a teddy bear, I bet she would love that!

[JuniperTisane]

DH says Optimus Prime in c1984. He was fobbed off by a freebie toy his dad got from a Toy Rep he did a job for. He says he has never quite gotten over it

[funnyface31]

Dm sorry

[Bowchickawowow]

Another Mr Frosty! Also have heard they are shit.

[glentherednosedbattleostrich]

Mr frosty here too.

I was also insanely jealous of DBro's millennium falcon as and wanted one not a fucking creepy hair styling doll.

Sorry, childhood traumas

[MellowMarshmallow]

Mr Frosty. I asked for Christmas and birthday for years but wasn't allowed one as apparently 'it will never work'.
Feeling quite pleased that i did get a yellow teapot though. And yes it was amazing.

[fridayfreedom]

A Sindy horse. Had a Sindy doll and riding outfit but had to put up with Larry the lamb soft toy as a horse

[Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride]

Title was inspired by ds1. He really wanted action man and helicopter. This was ££. However, woollies own brand was lots cheaper and it came with a life raft and parachute. He opened it, looked at us sadly, shook his head and said "oh dear mummy, Santa brought the wrong one" and refused to touch it.

[MellowMarshmallow]

Glen are you me???? My brother got this huge starship thing with tiny figures in the same year I got a freaky head to put makeup on. I was quite pleased with the head. although I did play with the spaceship too.

[youbethemummylion]

I wanted a Mr Frosty but apparently couldn't have one as it would be difficult to clean. Also couldn't have a big yellow tea pot no justification was given for that one I just wasn't allowed one
