Nostalgia post: gifts of our dreams or what we dreamed in childhood

Everyone remembers the foul story about the postman Pechekin, who was a gad, because he, it turns out, there was no bike. And as soon as the desired two-wheeled friend appeared - Voila! - Normal man became. Pics.Ru collected the hit list of gifts that we desperately wanted in childhood. Look and add!

Barbie doll

The crown of the children's industry of sales capitalism: None of our doll Masha, Misha or, forgive the Lord, even with opening eyes and one and a half meter growth could not replace it - a long-legged, busty and smiling. The coolest legs and hands were bent (!), And some lucky and happy had a whole home for Barbie with a bunch of utensils, which could be played for days. By the way, the boys in these dolls were also played with pleasure, so those girls who from early childhood were dealt with, what in this life, asked as a gift also Ken.

Game "Electronics"

Whether a wolf of "Well, wait!" Who caught eggs (by the way, did anyone think about why the eggs? Why not hares, or, say, just pieces of meat, for example?), Racing on a small typewriter with strange obstacles, "The Secrets of the Ocean", which was not very clear how to play, - I wanted to just have this box with four red buttons. By the way, few people know that all these games are variations or copies of Nintendo games released in 1981-82. And the rest is our, native: the screen on the liquid crystals, the metal case, and these small laughs of the batteries that were constantly lost!

Bike "Schoolboy"

Going with a bike into the courtyard, you could feel the queen of people, the queen of the world and the ladner of the sea in one bottle. Because everyone rods on small three-wheeled simple great or children's "friendships", from which the tauraling tap wheels were filmed (salads!) And the "schoolboy" was a real adult bike! And what's the name! Many dreamed of him as a gift just to the campaign to the first class, so that with honor to justify the proud title of a student (here almost the entire editorial board stuck and lost the treacherous tears of nostalgia).

Skates

And not some of the young grandmother's mother of the father's line, but new! Figure! Pure! Whiten! To twist Triple Tulup! Rush on them faster than wind chalk with nasty boys! To cause a secret envy at girlfriends, with whom, by the way, it was possible to ride a handle, supporting each other, and displeased with the eye on the guys rolling, which were distinguished on the rink of all sorts of alder and "spoiled ice". Decent skates cost about 30-35 rubles, the average salary was 80-100 rubles, so that a dream remained a dream. For the time being.

Pet

But of course, most of us dreamed of German Shepherd ("To me, Mukhtar!"), Collie ("Lassi") or Senberern ("Beethoven"). Catics were in a smaller post, because there were almost every self-respecting grandmother in the presence, but a puppy ... Remember how many times you swear to my mother and dad wash the dishes, get some fives, behave perfectly, just to give a dog? Another cartoon damn about Carlson loomed everywhere, where the baby was still presented! But, by the way, if you simply did not buy a puppy - this is still Polbie. One girl instead of a puppy bought fish (WTF?!) - this is where the true children's tragedy and drama lies!

Game console

Of course, "Dandy"! Of course, "Tanks"! Where is this gloom World of Tanks, ha! Two joysticks, a double-headed eagle in the headquarters and you with a friend alone against everyone! Dream from a dream! Then the Sega-Mega Drive and Super Nintendo appeared, but Dandy is love forever. And, by the way, an excellent gift is even now - the old new year is not far off!

Piano

"How much I remember in childhood - always desperately wanted to play the piano and begged the parents to buy it to me and send it to the music school. People who know how to play, in my eyes acquired the status of the demigods, I was ready to listen to how they play at least "Lee in the garden, in the garden" infinitely. If we were going to visit, I clarified first of all if there was a piano and if it was, then my interest in the guests took off to heaven. As a result, the parents for some reason gave me to learn to play the violin. I still can not understand this choice, but the music is obediently graduated. As a result, I don't know how to play a piano or violin. Now at home is a good professional synthesizer of a husband with a full keyboard, but for some reason the former delight does not cause. It's a shame. "

Player

Of course, at that time, musical centers have already appeared, but they mostly used parents, but I wanted to listen to our music in headphones, as in American cinema. And that the headphones are not stupid little, but big, which are put on the head on top! Listen to the Word, there was a catastrophic, so the author of these immortal lines loved Natasha Queen, Nautilus Pompilius, a group of cinema and Michael Jackson, there was no longer anything! The cassettes carefully rewrote in many ways and kept as a zenitsa of an eye. Some even drew a hand-meid cover to them. And the player could be asked to listen - but it was, of course, an option for Nishchibrudes, which, however, did not confuse anyone.

Clock

Any good. Weekly electronic (I remember now - I dreamed of pink with Cat Leopold, who wink, counting seconds - approx.), Electronic twist, type Casio, or - extrusion! - Mechanical, maiden, with a gold-plated bracelet and a thin dial that it was necessary to make it easy to start every morning or evening.

Food

That's no joke was a great gift! You could come with a couple of Snikhersov for a birthday and become an excellent guest, with Kinder Surprise, too. And parents could not bother about the gift and take the baby in McDonalds, "Baskin Robbins" or some more harmful catering - happiness were full pants! It is worth a confess that it has changed little from that moment: you still go there for a holiday and happy! (I still sometimes take "Happy Mil"! - Prim.Avt.)
