Going Off My Christmas Thread

Is there a toy that you can vividly remember getting as a child, I remember getting roller skates and a Timex watch when I was 11 , the roller skates were the ones with a toe cap that had laces ,

[mallyh]

i did for years ,can't remember what happened to it. (is that you in avatar ?)

A really lovely maroon doll's pram that my parents must ave saved all year for and my Mum had made a pillow and quilt covered in pale blue satin and she had embroidered a pattern on it. I absolutely loved it
