What was your favourite present EVER when you were little??

[Maidamess]

A calculator that beeped when I pressed the buttons. (Sooo high tech in 1979)

A SIMON game. Remember them?

Hungry Hippos

Miniature Dairy Milk bank

Tiny Tears
Sindy's bedroom - which I used to make her share with Action Man and his moving eyes!
A doll's cot which rocked

Roller boots for my 10th birthday and the Live Aid book for Christmas 1982.

Ohhh, I dreamed of a Daily Milk bank!! Did you refill it?

Lol at Simon game. Bloody hell, try giving that to the kids of today

My best present was a sindy doll house, complete with furniture. Was second hand but obviously well looked after by its previous owner, as all the bits and pieces were intact.

I particularly remember the brown sindy hostess trolley, complete with plasticky silver serving spoons, peas, carrots and tureens. It was wonderful

A puppet theatre that my dad made for me.

I loved Sindy stuff! I had a horse once.

we never did refill it. Didn't know you could

Sindy and her horse for me too plus outfits

Didn't her sticky rubber arms make it hard to put sleeves on her?

My first ever new bicycle, when I was about 8. Red and shiny. Just perfect.

I think dd2 has a modern version of that Simon game (I wanted that too but didn't get it). Called (shudder) "Barbie says". It's pink.

I think the 2007 version of Simon is the Nintendo Brain Training, non?

Sindy doll coach and four with a dapply grey horse which had plastic bridle and saddle which you could unbuckle and everything (still excited about it now!)

Also My Little Pony Pink Dream Castle (swoon)

And I was a spoilt brat toy wise but we did live on spam and chips and fray bentos pies most of the time in order to pay for it all!

Kitty,$ horsed carriage! (sharp intake of breath)..how fabulous,what a present! I bet your eyes popped out of your head when you saw it.

Mine was a little silver-cross pram. It was just like the real ones and had little springs to bounce it around. I loved that pram.

My parents had actually hid it and I was a little bit disappointed at first, but then they wheeled it out for me!!!

Next best was the year I got my Hi-Fi [delighted] I was blasting Madonnas "True Love"!

Oh and a cream television, how cool!

It was wonderful

No presents ever match up to the ones I got as a kid (but strawberry scented bubble bath, the Dairy Diary (always a yearly present) and a canape making kit aren't going to compare to sindy stuff, are they?

it was a fisher price garage. like this one i was a bit of a tomboy.

i was about four and i remember my sister saying 'that big present is for you'. ahh so sweet

Oh the Sindy bath with the little light in it, I cannot remember if it also bubble I may have added that bit on as the years have go on....

Sindy yellow car, I used to chase my brothers friend with his Action Man Tank Truck!

Stylophone thingy that Rolph Harris used to advertise. Nasty little tinny electronic musical instrument played with a stylus (I loved it! )

My dada made me and my brother a pair of wooden stilts each for Christmas and we spent hours wobbling up and down the hall, bouncing off the walls......actually I think they may be still at the back of my mum and dad's garage..

A Girlsworld,when she first came out.
Her hair 'grew' and you could put make up on it but that was it.

Twin baby dolls and a little red suitcase filled with baby doll clothes my mum had knitted herself because we didn't have any money. I loved it
