Awesome Holiday GIFT GUIDE for people who are stuck in the 1980s!

Updated: Nov 29, 2022


Remember the magic of Christmas as a kid back in the 1980s? You'd search through the Sears Wish Book and eagerly compile your list for Santa. Those were the good old days for sure! We'll be the first to admit we may be stuck in the '80s... and while we can't get those days back, we can get some of our awesome stuff back and enjoy the nostalgia of it all!


We were surprised and delighted to discover that many of our treasured items from childhood are still being produced. Some have been updated with new and improved versions while others are the same classic toys we know and love. Whether you're looking for the perfect gift for a nostalgic Gen-x grown-up or ready to pass the torch of awesomeness to the next generation, we've got you covered with our Awesomely 80s Holiday Gift Guide.
