Do you find yourself longing for those 80s or 90s childhood niknaks? It was one of the most collectible eras with some of the best memories! Take a walk down memory lane to relive your favorite childhood purchases. 

1. Ring Pops

Ring Pops were a fun treat, from fake proposals as a kid on the playground to finding these surgery gems in your birthday gift bags. Ring Pops are still widely known and found in-store or online. They are typically individually wrapped and can come in variety packs. 

2. Dunkaroos

This product most recently made a comeback. Dunkaroos definitely don’t pass our nutritional value test, but it never stopped us from enjoying the cookie and frosting combo. Who doesn’t love these delicious snacks? 

3. Jumanji Game Board

Not based on the most recent Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson flick, but Jumanji was made famous by Robin Williams in 1995. The same year, the board game was released so children could relive the adventure-packed movie through the fun game without destroying the whole city! 

4. Moon Shoes

The next best thing since sliced bread! These moon shoes were all the rage and have stuck around as a childhood staple. No trampoline? No problem. With a little bounce in your step, you were able to have the same amount of fun! These classics are still around and able for you to purchase. 

5. Tamagotchi

If mom and dad didn’t allow you a real pet, this was the next best thing.  The ultimate competition was to see who could keep their pet alive the longest. These digital pet key chains were a big hit back in the 90s, and if you didn’t have one you were missing out. Good news, upgraded versions have been released since and you can still get your hands on these today!

6. D.A.R.E Neon Fanny Pack

Drug Abuse Resistance Education was a big program back in the day, and if you weren’t wearing the t-shirt, you were wearing the fanny pack. While the program is no longer around today, the merchandise is. You can combine fashion with nostalgia in this throwback that resisting drugs is cool.

7. Lisa Frank Stickers

If you were a 90s kid through and through, there is no way you were able to escape the world of Lisa Frank. Lisa Frank was among the most popular brands between clothing merchandise and coloring books. Lisa Frank stickers overtook folders, lesson plan books, and school notes. The good news is they are still around and can be used to decorate any of your notes today. 

8. Reel View-Master

No, not the reel of Instagram, the reel of the 90s! Peaking into this little bright red toy camera, you were able to catch a glimpse of the exotic animals around the world. While far from our high-tech images, it is still a staple in today’s toy market. 

9. Slap Bracelets

Another great party gift, slap bracelets were a cheap accessory that allowed you to express your creativity on your wrist. They were a great trading piece on the playground and there was a bracelet that matched every outfit. Now, you are able to keep the tradition alive. 

10. Washable Scented Markers

Art class was not the same without these scented markers, and these aromatic treats would make it even more exciting. These markers will surely send you back in the day from grape, strawberry, and black licorice. Today you can still buy them and teach the younger generations about these familiar smells. 

11. Tiger Electronics Transformers Robots in Disguise Generation 2

Maybe no Nintendo Switch, these handheld games were a road trip favorite. With LCD action titles, the game would still be able to keep you occupied for hours. Recently, Hasbro released a new batch of Tiger handhelds with themes like the Little Mermaid, Sonic the Hedgehog, and X-men.
