20 Pages From The 1991 Wish Book That Will Make You Feel Like A Kid Again

WishBookWeb

Sears Wish Books were basically the best thing ever. I think we can all agree that when we would receive them in the middle of summer we would immediately start planning our Christmas lists. Some kids would start marking up the pages even before our parents could see it. They probably didn't love when we would do that, but we got it first!

We have already shown you a few other Wish Books, including 1983 and 1990, but what did Christmas wish lists look like in 1991?

You've got to be excited if it is in the Super Values section!

If you owned a Video Painter you were so lucky, they were the best!

You can also challenge your friends to an epic laser tag battle with the Lazer Pro 9000

But probably be more careful than these kids because he's about to get a laser beam in his eye

Just what ever parent wants: Something to make their kids even louder

In 1991, there was nothing more important than your roller blades and your skateboard

Or your super cool car

Honestly, most of these sweaters could still be worn today and no one would bat an eye

Look! It's the first version of Wikipedia! It cost $11 monthly but you would have access to the Columbia Encyclopedia

This is what was called a compact camcorder in 1991:

Trust me, they just keep getting better...

Do you think it's a little mean that they made a fish tank in Garfield's belly?

Okay, 1991, what are you even doing with this

While you were busy ripping out pages with toys on them, our moms were planning their classy outfits to wear to the company Christmas party

Or a fun date night dress

Or perhaps a nice casual look

You'd try to pick out the coolest snowsuit imaginable

Osh Kosh B'Gosh were basically a requirement

The perfect look for middle school

What an impressive jacket collection

If your parents were really cool they could get some "His 'N Her Leather Blazers"

Do you remember looking through the Wish Book every Christmas?

Fashion Experts Are Trying To Trick Us Into Wearing Flared Jeans Again And We Aren't Having It

Listen, I know fashion is cyclical. I know that things are going to go in and out of style, but here's the thing, not everything should. Fashion is also highly subjective. We all have our own opinions, but when the fashion magazines start telling us "this is what is in style" we all second guess our choices. Now, these experts are telling us to dust off our old flared jeans and honestly, I don't understand why. I know that flared jeans were huge in the disco-era, and I know this because when they came back in the late 90s and

25 Bridesmaids Dresses That'll Actually Make You Glad The 80s Are Over

Listen, getting married in the 80s was kind of wild. Not only did you have to deal with the big hair, mullets, and mustaches, but the fashion was a whole other bag of worms. There was no way to predict how insane the dresses were going to look, but it was always safe to assume they would be pretty wild. Puffy sleeves, shiny fabric, and a lot of ruffles seemed to be the norm at the time. Let's not forget that return to the Victorian era that saw women trying to dress like an old-time princess. But, we brave the

10 Weebles Playsets From Our Childhoods We Loved To Watch Wobble

There were always toys when you were a kid that seemed to be more important than the rest. There were some that you couldn't go to bed without, there were others that you spent months begging your parents for, and then there were a few that were just staples, readily available where ever you went.
