My best pressie was a Nookie Bear, he had a pull string to make him go cross eyed. I also remember my brother getting a Scalectrix - it was only a basic set but we spent HOURS racing each other.

Those were the days!

I've still got my spirograph which I got in the 70s, in the loft, complete with all 4 coloured biros too!

Wow, I loved spirograph, the modern day ones do not touch the original (esp the automatic one - what a cheat!!) I remember one year my brother getting the Bick rogers helmet with attached microphone - that was sooo coool!!

I loved my weebles with the playground set, also loved Jem doll with flashing earings, oh, and my flower fairy set that I found under mums bed weeks before christmas. I got in big trouble for opening that! Oh, the memories...

I had always wanted a Mr Frosty, but never got one!!!! My mum said it was because it came with colourings that wernt good for you, but i bought one for my DD a few years back (had to as i had always wanted it!!!) and there were no colourings with it!!!!! I did have the weebles tho - much better than the little fat ones they have nowadays!!!!
