Birthday gifts of a bygone era

I miss when a birthday meant someone gave you.....  

  Giant Money:  In anybody's hand, this is some serious coin.  In a child's hand, it's a Frisbee.

Shaped Cake:  The people at Baker's believed all frosting should be coconut frosting.  Earlier today, Dodie said, "You like coconut?   Why have I never known that?"  I said, "Because yoooo don't like coconut.  So we never ate it."

Dangerous toys!  (sorry we fell out of love with you, all-things-missile.)
Anything that cooked, soldered, stabbed, glowed, or swallowed easily (subcategory: Lite-Brite peg, marble, Barbie shoe, Monopoly house, Sea Monkey)

Qiana:  more fashion through chemistry

SKATES!

Hard-cover books.  soooo fancy.  Special occasion.

Electronica.

who-o-o-aa-a.

Fast food coupons.
50 cent coupon guzenta giant money.... 2 Saturdays.  Free toy inside will be mini jarts.  Don't swallow them. Or these cookies.

Bike accessories: Because, man, they wore out.  Get the streamer ones, hide stuff inside your handlebars and cover with metallic streamer grips.

 Weird clothes you were supposed to "grow into" (and might return to in 60 years...)












I stop at 10.  The rest is up to you.
