Was there ever a present you really wanted as a child but didn't get?


With me it was a two story furnished doll house that I just knew Santa was going to bring me, but he didn't. Now I realize it was too expensive for my parents at the time but as I kid I just didn't understand it.

I wanted this reversible Pokeball (lol) when I was in Gander and I didn't get it.

One year i really wanted an electronic hobby kit...you could make all sorts of gadgets like a crystal radio, doorbell, etc, and, of COURSE my parents favorite , my brother got the only thing id asked for for 6 months, even though he never asked for one....big shock...went well with my brother getting a brand new bike the year after I got an old rusty one or how i had to wait til I was almost 19 & working to get a licence but they let him get his at 16.......I could go on, but, it's too painful.

How can you make a ball "reversible"? :confused:

I always wanted a beanbag chair and glitter pens. Never got them.

And now that I can buy them myself, I don't. :lol:

i cant stand bean bag chairs....most uncomfortable things i ever tried to sit in

From what i can remember i always wanted a Boglin. Do any of you remember them from the late 80s? I wanted one sooo bad and never got one! :) Here is a pic of the creepy puppets.

Me too, I wanted a bean bag chair. Pffft. Never got it. I did end up buying my daughters one several years ago. I think I sat in it more than they did. :lol:

When I was wee little tike, I wanted the bake oven toy, forgot the name, but you can make mini-cakes in them.

Oh yes the easy bake oven, i wanted one also, i ended up having a second-hand one from a cousin!

I had an easy bake!! I loved it, I used to bake little goodies in it all the time!

I remember it very well. One Christmas yeeears ago, one thing I wanted most was a pink power ranger doll. That Christmas, I got sooo many presents. There must've been 30 under that tree from Santa. The only thing that wasn't there was the Kimberly doll. :(

Well, get one now ;) Kelly!

Ah yes, the ever elusive Easy Bake Oven - that would top my list. I'd even have gladly taken a second hand one. I was chubby enough as a kid, probably good I never did get one!

The other thing was a Light Bright. I also wanted the Barbie Camper but knew that would be a stretch to get.

A lot of gifts I got (like Spirograph and Pendulart) my dad ended up playing with most of the day. I'd have to wait until he passed out after dinner to get at them. :lol:

That reminds me of Robert & Ray on Everybody Loves Raymond. Was every Christmas like that? I sure hope not. :(

I know they are creepy aint they! I don't know why i wanted one. :lol: :confused:

When I was about 7 or 8 I really wanted an 8 ball. You know that thing that when you ask it a question and it will answer/read yes or no or maybe. Well I didn't get one. Now I realize why. I think that my parents thought that I would get into fortune telling or hocus pocus or something. :lol:

I got one of them a few years ago from a relative. It was amusing for the first 5 seconds and I haven't really touched it since. :lol:

I always wanted a Barbie Dream House. The one I wanted in the 80s was pink and yellow.
