The Christmas present that you never got.

Child of the 50's here, I always wanted a Bride Doll and a jewellery box with a dancing ballerina that popped up when the lid was opened. For some reason my mom was obsessed with buying me toys that were too old for me, saying "you're not a little girl anymore" Yes I was!!

I had the My Little Pony Dream Castle too, and yes it was Spike The Dragon. MLPs are very collectable now and I think spike in good condition is quite hard to find.

Someone must have been listening this year, because I got a Chocolate dispenser and a set of toffee bars with a little silver hammer. My husband also got me an experience gift, feeding Tigers by hand :eek:, which is fabulous, but the fact that he has FINALLY listened to me means lots more

I wanted some of those shoes (Clarks made them I think) that had animal tracks for pattrens on the soles, and a compass hidden in the heel...think they might have been called "Trackers" or something.....but of course, they were only in boys shoes not for girls:(

No wonder I grew up with a sort of shoe fetish!!

Tuf Wayfinders, I think! I wanted them but despite my user name I am female!

Mousetrap was over our present limit so I never got it but I bought it for my kids in the 90's and our mum's were right it is plastic tat but it looked so exciting. I got a chocolate machine off an auntie one year but couldn't find the chocs to replace so short term fun with that one. And my sister and I wanted a girls world but never got one, we did get a baby sister who we tried out hair and make up on when she was a toddler.

I wanted a chemistry set and Meccano - but, was told they were 'boys' presents and got bluddy dolls instead. after a few years I got a brother
and really thought I would get my hands on the cherished chemistry set, meccano etc - and what did he ask for................bluddy Action Men! at least he got some Lego too! mum thought it was lovely of me to spend so much time playing Lego with him!

My brother got the Action Man, I got the Action Man horse The Lego was shared. He had Scalextric and I had the Hornby train set. I got a TV as when my father was away on business trips my mother and I would use the spare bed in my room as a sofa and watch scary movies.

The one present I really wanted more than anything and never got was a pony. My parents could afford it but felt I was horsey enough already and my mother doesn't like horses. My parents never once showed up to watch me compete on other peoples' ponies/horses either.
