I used to collect rubbers! There was a shop that sold loads between our village and the next town and if I had been good we were allowed to stop and buy one after we'd been shopping, I had all sorts, scented, glittery, all of which I kept until I was a teenager then decided to use them all.

When I was a bit older my treat was a magazine, something my DS loves now too.

A Mandy comic or 14p to buy a WHAM bar! Or Smash Hits and a pape rbag of penny sweets

Every time my granddad and granny came to stay we'd walk up to the corner shop and he'd let us have a paperbag with a quarter of sweets - rolacollaballs or alphabet sweets. Massive treat as we had no spare money.

Enid blyton books and sheet of nice wrapping paper to cover school books in comprehensive school simple things but my mother was a single parent back then

At school we were able to order a book if we achieved certain individual goals and I loved that!

From my parents my favourite reward was ice cream. I knew I had been very good if they took me for a cone.

My favourite rewards were book tokens.

I loved going into town with my mum to choose a new book to read. I felt very grown up.

I honestly don't think I was ever given treats and rewards as a child. A happy childhood, though!

The Beano!
Occasionally we'd get 10p to buy sweets at the weekend if we'd been good too.

Chocolate and praise

Comics/magazines, then books occasionally.

I was given a bit of extra pocket money - which would invariably go on sweets. I remember saving it all up though on one occasionto buy a Skipper doll - the massive feeling of achievement when I finally got there, and also how impressed my dad was with my money saving skills!

A quarter of sweets was a weekly treat.

Half term treats I remember was being allowed to choose biscuits such as chocolate fingers rather than plainer kinds.

We were allowed to choose a souvenir when on holiday.

Mum got me a small toy to make up for missing a friends party when I was five.

Going swimming or to a museum also half term treats.

10p mix up was a very special treat for me as a child and i would make it last.

Every Friday I got a finger of fudge. ...... A finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat.

My parents didn't really do rewards.
But we got treats from grandparents - toffo sweets or bunty magazine. My sis liked Wizzer and Chips.
My DD gets rewarded with books, comics, small toys, puzzles and small toys. She has more than enough sweets as it is (party bags, birthday sweets from classmates etc) that I don't give her these as a reward as I'd like her to appreciate other rewards than sweets.
DD doesn't know this, but we've got a treat cupboard that has loads of stuff we've collected when on offer. If she's not used up all her treats by the end of the year, it gets wrapped and put in her stocking.

In primary school I had a long, long walk home. When my mum picked me up she would give me 5 or 10p for the sweet shop to choose hapenny sweets in a paper bag. I would choose her favourite, my favourite and a couple of others and we would share them on the way home. It was always a really happy time.

My mother would take my brother and I to the local post office to get a 10p mix- we absolutely loved it

I think the equivalent for my dc's would be getting an icecream if they've been very well behaved and active for the day.

I got a pocket popple when I stopped biting my nails, now I have to cut them when they get long.

A treat for us was a bottle of 'pop' - the sort that came in glass bottles that you took back for the deposit. Cream soda, dandelion & burdock or lemonade. We'd be allowed a glass with Sunday lunch.

A finger of fudge
Small bar of Cadbury's chocolate-I can still remember the smell and the purple foil wrapper
a new paperback book

My favourite food treat was a Muddy Pig. It was a rectangular chocolate bar from Thorntons with strawberry flavoured pink bits. I am gutted that they don't do them anymore!

Sometimes when I was ill, my mum would get me a cuddly toy from the chemist. They were just cheapie ones but I always adored them. They were usually dogs as I preferred them to teddy bears.

When I was a teen, I started having psychotherapy. After each session, my Dad would take me to the nearby Little Chef before going back to school. I always had hot chocolate with whipped cream, and we'd share some mini donuts :)

Occasionally, as a special treat, a trip to WH Smith for toy plastic soldiers (un PC!) or a small pack of Lego. Sometimes a Ladybird book.

Getting to choose the Friday night film from the video shop and galaxy chocolate to go with it.

I used to love the chocolate dip pots with the biscuit fingers - you can still buy them now but as an adult I don't like them - the chocolate tastes too oily IMO. DC like getting smarties as a rewards!

Getting 10p to get penny sweets or when my dad would pop to the shop and get a couple of bags of sweets to share.

Being allowed to stay up was a lovely treat too.
