    Hi,

    I am looking to get two women retro gifts from the 80's. The kind of presents that they would have gotten as kids. This is a mock santa thing i am doing with the sisters. The limit is 20 euro.
    I have already found one of the gifts. Ita a 'pogo ball'.
    Anyone got any ideas for another? They were both born in early 80's.

    That all???

    Lol.

    Had looked into carebears/rainbow brite and cabbage dolls. They seem to all be used or need to be shipped from UK (time might be an issue with that).

    Etch a sketch is a good one.

    Thread Moved.

    Nothing says 80s like a Nintendo Entertainment System. Although the Super Nintendo has aged slightly better IMO.

    They have new soda streams in argos for around 47 euro, and science museum space hoppers for half price, i think around 12 euro if that's any use.
