Christmas gift from Santa that you asked for but never received

[loubielou31]

Sorry for the taat but the little boy who wants a jet pack from Santa (brilliant!) made me think of those things I cut out of the Argos catalogue year after year and never got.
A Mr Frosty. The advert made it look so good.
An electric keyboard. We had a perfectly playable piano but some this crap keyboard with it's dodgy sound effects seemed better.
Hungry Hippos. I bought this for my DC, the banging on the floor trying to catch the marbles was so noisy it was horrible.
We had lovely childhood Christmases and I got plenty of other lovely gifts that I remember much more fondly than I would these things if I had received them but it makes me chuckle.

Also Mr Frosty and I expect 95% of replies will say the same.

Got one years later and it was utter shit.

Haha yea, Mr Frosty 😂

If it makes you feel any better - I had a Mr Frosty and it was crap 😂 My DM ended up taking it back!

Doll's house

I asked for one of those machines that dispensed a tiny chocolate if you put in a penny. Bloody ridiculous if you think about how much chocolate you could have bought for the purchase price of the machine. ----

I always wanted a chemistry set. No idea why 🤷‍♀️
I got one of those chocolate machines. Was great - until you'd had all the chocolates and didn't have another packet to fill it up again! 😂

Roller boots… and I still want a pair.

Mr Frosty (standard) but also Operation

A Donny Osmond mug.

ABBA The Album.

Both times I got the actual item, but not with the specified artist… wtf??

Did Mr Frosty actually exist cos I swear I have never met a person who got one for christmas. Im still waiting on santa to bring me mine.

I had a Mr frosty, it's still at my mum's house, it's still rubbish. I asked for scalextric every year and a garden shed that I could use as a bedroom. I spent hours designing my garden shed bedroom.

A pony. Every year I asked for a pony and I left out hay and carrots for the reindeer.

A Dolls house I got a cardnoard one was shit, never got one, I suppose they were expensive I couldnt wait to get my daughter one for me to play with 😀

A mr bero man.
his hat was a sieve - his head the bowl.

my f little sister got it instead…….
never forgetton nor forgiven

The game 'Mouse Trap'

Don't you fear, I bought it for myself last year, age 40

I was desperate for one of those too. And mr frosty of course.

I always wanted one of those big blue slide things that you put a hose at the top and slide down to the bottom.

Show off 😂

Fishing net and spice girls DVD. I’ll never forget it 😂😂

Girls world. Still not over it 45 years later

DH bought me a Mr Frosty after years of me moaning that I never got one for Christmas. I only used it once because I don’t actually like ice/cold stuff as it makes my teeth hurt 😬.

A chopper bike.
I got a foldable shopper bike because I was a girl. Nearly 50 years on I have neither forgiven nor forgotten.

I bought my kids a. Scalectrix a couple of years ago and old one in really good condition .I might aswell of bought the a bloody toilet roll lol me an my husband loved it though.

Tressy. I got Sindy.🙄

A pony. Every single year. In fact, I think it was the repeated asking for a pony and the annual disappointment that made me a bit cynical about the whole thing.

The adverts always made things look great and the reality was usually a disappointment. I would have loved a Paddington Bear with red wellies but didn’t get one. A girl in my class had one and bought it to school to show everyone. I can still remember her name and the slight pangs of jealousy.

A Greyhound Puppy.
I never did get my puppy but I am currently sharing my sofa with 2 greyhounds and the third hound is in his favourite chair.
I also wanted an Osmonds mug. My friend bought one for me last Christmas.
