90's kids were lucky enough to have some of the coolest toys, games, and
gadgets available to us! Check out some of
the hottest items a 90's kid would've had on his or her Christmas list!

Moon Shoes Remember these? They were probably the most awesome toy anyone
ever got, and even so they barely got used. Mostly because I'm pretty
sure we injured ourselves upon first use. But still! They were like
trampolines for your feet, and it really did feel like walking on the
moon! |

Skip-It Why would you waste your time with an ordinary jump rope when you could play with a Skip-It? Exactly! You wouldn't! |
|
Creepy Crawlers Creepy Crawlers - like Easy Bake Oven, but for boys! Baking brownies and cupcakes is for sissies - bring on the insects! |
|
|
Koosh Ball
They're the perfect stocking stuffer!
|
|
Tamagotchi It's like having your very own pet! Except not... at all. But every girl
at school has one attached to her mini backpack, and I need one, too!
Do you want me to get made fun of? Well, do you? That's what I thought. |
|
Gak
This stuff was disgusting, and was the easiest toy in the world
to ruin. If it touched anything at all, it would end up with chunks and
fuzz mixed in with its goop. But that just meant you needed more in your
stocking next Christmas!
Hey. It was advertised on Nickelodeon, and even carried the name on its packaging! That obviously meant it was made of gold.
|
|
Silly Putty The less cool, but more reliable older brother of Gak was Silly Putty.
This stuff is awesome! You can stretch it, form it into cool things, and
roll it into a ball and bounce it! Not only that, but you can copy
newspaper ink over onto it! Why would you need to do that, you ask?
Because it's fun! Stop asking stupid questions and give me back my Silly
Putty. |
|
Super Soaker No, seriously! I promise I won't shoot my sister in the face! You have my word! Please? Please please please?! |
|
Roller Blades
No 90's kid would be caught dead at the skating rink in anything but inline skates!
|
|
Super Nintendo
The much-coveted Super Nintendo was the greatest gift to get in
the 90's! That is, until the N64 hit the market. If you were slightly
less lucky (or already had one of the bigger consoles), a GameBoy was
the next best thing.
And remember: if the game isn't working, just blow in it. Everything will be okay.
|
|
Talkboy
This was a must-have after 'Home Alone 2' hit theaters!
|
|
My Little Pony What 90's girl didn't have at least a small collection of My Little Ponies? I'll tell you who. No one! |
|
Pogs Even if you had no idea what in the world they were for, you still
wanted them in an assortment of awesome designs! Remember the stands at
the mall? And perusing their displays for hours? |
|
Beanie Babies Oh my gosh! I found the owl! It'll be worth loads of money someday! Hold this lady down while I grab it. Now run! Go, go, go! |
|
Tickle Me Elmo I'm pretty sure people got trampled trying to buy these back in the 90s. "My... kid... must... have... ELMO!" Famous last words. |
|
Micro Machines These tiny little cars were all in the rage in the 90's! |
|
Bop It Bop It still exists in various incarnations, but remember when the
original version was released in the 90s? It was so addictive! It was
really hard to put it down. |
|
Stretch Armstrong Two words. Freakishly amazing. Did anyone else ever cut this guy open to see what all that stuff was inside? |
|
Power Wheels Was there any cooler toy in the 90s than Power Wheels? I mean, the
rest of this list is pretty darn awesome, but these really made you feel
like you were on top of the world. That is, until the battery died.
Which, it pretty much always did, much sooner than anticipated.
Wait, what am I saying? They were awesome and flawless. Case closed.
