A snoopy watch. Just seen that Timex have a range. Shall I put one on my list?
(I did get a timex watch, but it was plain blue and snoopyless).

Ooh I had a snoopy watch. My very first watch it had a turquoise strap.

I always wanted an a la carte kitchen. Huge desire to make my dad Swiss roll and beans in bed 🤷‍♀️

Hooray! It's really cute, OP.

Mine was like this (the strap was different - it had cutout holes along the strap which was a lighter blue). My big big sister sent it to me from America when she emigrated.

Good for you @FeltCarrot.
Hope it makes you smile every time you wear it

@FeltCarrot I was 10 in 1976 and wanted a watch and was so disappointed to get a snoopy watch as I wanted a grown up watch!
It was only as an adult that I began to love it. I’ve gone through many watch straps over the years and I have other more expensive watches bought for milestone birthdays but it’s this watch that brightens up my day.
Buy your watch, I always smile when I use mine.

My now DH bought me that watch from a car boot sale about 30 years ago. I loved it!

I wanted a Mr Frosty too. Fortunately my Mum realised they were complete tut and bought me a Sindy caravan instead!

A Soda Stream and one of those machines that dispensed Cadburys chocolate blocks🤣

@BCBird

i had one of the Cadbury chocolate slot things. I loved it. I'd have let you play with it!

a wall blackboard. I'm still totally unclear about why I never got one. we didn't have a lot of money, so I'd never have asked for diamonds!, but a blackboard wouldn't have been out of birthday price range & my Dad & I often made things together and I'd have been even happier with that

My mum probably will deny I ever said I wanted one and I sadly lost my Dad a few years ago, so it'll remain a puzzle!!
