Retro help

[Surreygirl30]

Hi bit of a daft question but I want to make my Sister a retro box for her birthday � basically this will be a collection of little presents (ideally one for every year) so far I have bought the Mr Benn DVD and the Flumps DVD. But can anyone tell me since 1978 to now what has been there most missed things: be it a show, sweets, clothing etc � it may give me some ideas for other presents.

Also does anyone know of any stores online that deal in retro style things? Thanks xx

moomins (you can get a dvd on play.com).
leggings (in the 90's when i was a kid you could get really cool coloured ones.)

maybe you could get cd's as well? like spice girls and cheesy stuff.

that present idea is great one by the way!

My sister loved her Girl's World thing from about 1982. Seems to have moved on since then. It talks!

Don't forget Bukaroo, Downfall and Kerplunk.

Also, in the later 80s Yo-Yos made a big come back. I loved my Duncan Rainbow!
