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.
