[redcrx]

Ive got to come up with ideas for 80s related pressies for a friends birthday. Brat pack DVDs wham bars and sweets legwarmers the spangling antenna things you put on your head (boppers?) MD 20/20 are all ideas being batted about so far,. Can you think of any others?

[mccfluff]

what about secret sweets toy's, you could make them into jewellry i think, all i can remember is big hair, lots of lace and loads of bangles,

[somebyrd]

I'm sure you can buy those dragon thingies that 4get was on about in party shops, sure Jade had them as favours in her party bags last year ,,,,,,,

How about those gooey things you could chuck at wall and they'd "walk" down? Or those things with a spring and a sucker that used to pop up and scare the living crap outta you?

Mafu loves those jumping things.
The jelly like octopus things were great wernt they. Must take a trip to a proper old fashioned toy shop. Might try in London at weekend
