There was a thing on AOL today, the gifts you wanted but didn't get as a kid. Like the Snoopy SnoCone maker, Easy Bake Oven. My sis had one of those, don't think she ever played with it.
I can't think of anything I wanted but didn't get - but it was a long time ago! I remember getting great gifts, loving it. Mom made magic every year.

the Wii! I've been asking Santa for 2 yrs now...but even Santa can't justify spending the money on a game when we have so many other bills to pay right now!
Actually I never got an easy bake oven because my sister got caught melting barbie heads in hers... And I never got the snoopy snow cone maker... but I did get a pretty cool cake decorating set that year. Oh and the bug oven thing... where you make the bugs out of the gummy mix? it was a sloppy gooey mess!

I loved My Easy Bake Oven!!! After I used all the pre-pared mixes, invented my own stuff and older brother's friends ate (I did not, YUCK! But bless their hearts, we laugh about it now, 45 years later!) I had the Incredible Edible Bug maker - liked it (was a messy kid) Got the showboat - hated it. Loved my Chief Cherokee, Johnny West figures and Thunderbolt the horse. Loved my Pogo stick!!!

We got very few toys growing up, but I remember being so jealous when my lil school friends would bake those tiny cakes and pies. Amazed! and the pain of jealousy ran so deep! I made sure when my children were growing up they had awesome toys. We always gave away old unused ones to charity so other kids got to have fun too.
I would like a snoopy snow cone maker now.

I never got a Barbie until I met Jim. I also never got an Easy Bake Oven or Wetsy Betsy.

I too, have been feeling a little nostalgic lately, Cath. We were always so excited to see what Santa brought us and I look back and wonder how my folk's did it w/5 kids. But, like you said~ Mom made everything so magical.
W/both of my parent's gone now, things just lack that ''magic''. I do remember getting a metallic gold stingray bike w/a banana seat and boy, did I think I was cool. I put a million miles on that thing.

My Mom made magic happen around the holiday's, too. I can remember being so excited Christmas Eve that I could barely lay still enough to go to sleep.
Oh, and Sally, I had a purple sparkly bike with a pink banana seat! *na na na boo boo*

I always wanted a playhouse built in the backyard like my cousins had...they never wanted to play in it when I came over
I made up for it when my only daughter was three...bought her a kitchen set...I had so much fun playing with her (and it!)... Oh, and I had a spider seat with stingray handlebars, too...loved it until i got too tall to ride it
