WHSmith trendy stationary around 2000

[jerometheturnipking]

I'm on a trip down memory lane (at the grand age of 32 gimmer) after spotting a young girl in the supermarket yesterday wearing a cross body bag that I had about 20 years ago. It was dark denim - we were cool with our denim everything - and had a little light blue and white puppy with a patch on one eye. Sort of like Blue from Blue's Clues, but not. Does anyone else remember this range? I remember I had a phone case with a tiger on it that said "Easy" underneath, and there were some Mad Cow and Funky Monkey things too. It was cool just after Groovy Chick/Bang on the Door.

Bonus points if anyone has any photos of the stuff because my DH thinks I'm mad, but it's because he wasn't a teenaged girl back then, and Max Power magazine didn't feature it .

For some reason as a kid I never had trendy stuff. I used to long for a forever friends pencil tin and eventually I got one although it felt frivolous to spend so much money on a tin. It was probably about £4!

Missing the point of the thread but it reminded me!

I have a glass with 20th Century Chick on it and a cartoon of a young woman driving a convertible car. When it was bought for me in the early 90s the woman had black hair. It’s faded now to grey. Accurate 😂

I'm sure it's a Tammy girl dog but I can only remember the names of the cats!
GroovyCat and BadKitty

Oh I loved the Withit brand!! I think I must have been about 10 when I started collecting things with the Withit animals on, I'd totally forgotten about them. Thank you so much for unlocking a happy childhood memory!

Also liked Bang On The Door/Groovy Chick, I particularly remember getting the annual for Christmas one year.
Your dog looks very familiar OP, I'm watching with interest to see if anyone can help!

I do remember the dog. Can't think where it was from.

Loved Withit! I had Mad Cow and Cheeky Monkey. There was also a fox one and a cat.

@missbunnyrabbit same!!+ I loved it and just had to look it up as skinnydip are now doing phone cases with them on and I was like ' I recognise this from when I was in school'

Woahhh. Memory lane..... I remember Groovy chick!

Haven't heard anyone mention it in years.

Yes I remember that exact design!!!! I had it on a t shirt with fake longer sleeves. Worn with a denim mini skirt with a sequinned edge.

It was a cartoon of this kind of dog right?

You all need the ‘knee deep in the 90s’ account on Instagram

its a daily dose of nostalgia and proustian rushes…

I remember it OP! I can picture it in my head but can’t find it on the internet.

I can picture it too. But I also think of card factory too, not whs.

That was East17's dog, or the cartoon rude dog.

The brand was Custard. Based on Brighton. They had dogs and cats and a few other designs

My children had lots of bags, pencil cases and purses and wallets from the Custard shop in Brighton.

This is the cat one my daughter has a range of items in
