20 Retro Products Every Nostalgia Addict Needs To Make Their Home Complete

Retroplanet/Amazon

I think we can all agree that we all have a bit of an obsession with our past. There's something special about the time that we grew up that makes us want to hold onto it harder and harder as we get older.

Sure, maybe we are just trying to put off the inevitable, or maybe we are just finally capable of getting all the stuff we wish we could have gotten as kids.

There's also the fact that now that we are now living on our own, we get to pick the decor and if we want it all to be Space Jam posters and Barbies who's going to stop us? I mean, most of us don't want that, but no judgement if you do!

Sometimes it's hard to find all the stuff that's made for you though, so we've got you covered. Everything you need to re-live your childhood is here, so get ready to make your wish lists now.

1. Goosebumps 25th Anniversary Retro Set

Sure, you could read the latest best-sellers to keep up with trends, but you know you'd rather read these for the twentieth time.

Five of the bestselling Goosebumps books are available in a collectible tin, and it's perfect. It includes Monster Blood, Why I'm Afraid of Bees, A Night in Terror Tower, The Beast From The East, and Legend of the Lost Legend.

And if those books aren't your favorites, they even made a second collection to bring a little more spookiness to your bookshelf.

This collection includes Welcome to Dead House, Say Cheese and Die!, Night of the Living Dummy, The Haunted Mask, and One Day At HorrorLand.

All these books feature the original artwork and are everything you could possibly want. You can get them on Amazon.

2. Old School Cat Clock

I feel like each and every one of us has seen this clock in someone's house before. Why not bring into your house? I mean, you need a clock right? May as well have a cute (and only a little bit creepy) one that has moving eyes!

You can get it on Amazon and make your house the perfect nostalgia home.

3. Lite-Brite

Nothing beats a classic Lite Brite. Sure, there's probably an app that looks kind of like it, but nothing will ever be better than the original.

Also, the original retro style that you remember only is about $15 at both Walmart and on Amazon, so really it's irresponsible to not buy it!

4. Retro Batcave

The original 1960s Batman show will always be my favorite, and this classic Batcave will help you relive the adventures you always loved.

While the dolls aren't included, you can find some retro ones on Amazon as well so don't worry, your collection will be complete.

5. Batman Retro Dolls

You can get the doll box set and the Batcave on Amazon!

6. Vintage Cabbage Patch Kid

Listen, we are all at the age where people we know are starting to have children, so if you need a perfect gift, nothing will ever beat a Cabbage Patch Kid.

Also, this prevents you from having to share yours, which you know you still have tucked away somewhere. May as well get them their own!

7. Slap Bracelets

If you want to have a 90s-themed party, you are going to need these. They are so cheap, and instantly bring so much joy to everyone who puts them on.

Immediately you are reminded of the elementary school playground, cracking it on your wrist over and over. And, they are only $8 for 25 of them!

8. Jelly Sandals

If you want to get that true 90s style, you NEED jelly sandals.

It's basically a requirement, so I don't know why you're waiting. They aren't even that expensive, so you will be able to rock your best 90s look no problem.

9. Candy Land

I know what you're thinking: "Candy Land is for young kids! I don't wan't to play it!" Okay, but hear me out... It's fun.

Especially when you play this classic version that looks straight out of the 60s. You'll feel like you're at grandma's house for the weekend. You can pick it up on Amazon, it makes a great gift!

10. Tetris Ice Cube Tray

These Tetris ice cube trays are perfect for  impressing your guests and making yourself smile. Every time you go to get a drink you'll see it and smile, and probably end up with that song stuck in your head for the rest of the night.

They are a great novelty gift, and people absolutely love them. They are cheap too, so you don't have to break the bank to have a little bit of whimsy in your house. Who says you've got to grow up!

11. Retro Clue

Clue might be the best board game ever made, and this old-school version is absolutely beautiful.

12. Pop-O-Matic Trouble

I still get the song in my head from time to time... Do you remember it? "It's fun gettin' into trouble!"

I feel like the only way to get it out is by playing it again, which is perfect because it's on Amazon for only $13! .

13. Slinky Dog

Buzz and Woody aren't the only ones who get to hang out with a slinky dog. For around $20, you can get one too! He looks exactly as he does in the movie too.

14. 1990s Candy Gift Box

This perfect time capsule contains a bunch of classic candies and snacks that you loved as a kid. You get two pounds of it delivered to your door, and honestly you will not regret it.

For $25 it's really worth it, I promise. It works out to about $1.50 per type of candy, but the nostalgia that it'll bring you? Priceless.

15. Gushers, Fruit By The Foot, and Fruit Roll-Ups Variety Pack

Sure, you could go buy these at the grocery store, but then you're going to have to remember to do it. Just order these now, for only $15 and then you'll get the best retro snack surprise!

16. Surge

While you can now go get Surge at Burger King, some people may prefer to have it delivered right to their homes. Don't worry, Amazon has you covered.

17. Butterfly Clips

Kids these days don't understand how important butterfly clips were to us, so it's time we bring them back. It's very cheap to do this, as a pack of 100 is less than $10.

18. Now that's what I call 90s Pop CD

If you need one convenient location for all your 90s favorites, then this is the mix for you. Best part, if you have Prime you can listen to it for free.

19. Holographic Fanny Pack

Yes, I know what you're thinking, Fanny Packs haven't really been the coolest accessory, but you know what, who cares. They are convenient and make us feel like we are 13 again, so why not!

20. Fisher Price Chatter Phone

So this one is my go-to gift for all baby showers or baby birthdays. It's a simple toy that everyone recognizes from their childhood, and as an added bonus, it looks the same as it always has.

We all remember it, so what don't we keep on passing it to the next generations?

This One Teen's Tweet About Burning CDs Will Honestly Ruin Your Day

All of us who would consider ourselves to be 80s and 90s kids aren't really that old, right? We are still in the prime of our lives, and a lot of us still feel like we're just getting started on our path to being a "real grown-up." Maybe it's not the greatest that a lot of us still feel young, but times have changed since our parents were in their 30s. We've learned how to chill out and take our time in our lives. There's no rush, so let's all just relax and try to stay young longer.Here's the

Ikea Is Bringing Back The Couch Of Your Nightmares, And People Have A Lot To Say About It

Remember when you were growing up and you'd go hang out in the living room for hours and hours, never leaving your spot on the couch? Well, honestly I can't pretend much has changed, other than the fact that the couch has fewer flowers on it than ever before. Most people stick to a single color now, but back in the day there was apparently nothing more desirable than a good floral pattern. Big flowers, small flowers, pinks ones, or blue, every combination was waiting for you. We've all seen a lot of bad couches in our days, but when

There's Now Only One Blockbuster Left, But It Refuses To Give Up

We've all known for a while that Blockbuster was basically a lost cause. Most Blockbuster locations closed down many years ago, leaving behind their empty buildings that look like they house all the ghosts of the 90s. However there were a few places where Blockbuster Video refused to die. There were six locations remaining in Alaska, and one in Bend, Oregon, but this weekend marks a sad moment. All of the Alaskan Blockbusters have been officially closed. Four had actually been closed earlier in the year, but this weekend the final two locations closed their doors for good. But don't

Are Your Old Pogs Actually Worth As Much As People Claim?

People like to look back at their childhood and think about all the cool stuff they had. We all collected Beanie Babies, Pokemon Cards, Polly Pockets, and more, but one of the weirdest obsessions we all had was the Pog craze. Pogs were perhaps one of the most popular toys (if you could really call them that) of the 90s. They were basically little cardboard disks that had pictures on them, and the point of them was to collect as many as you could, trade them with your friends, and maybe compete for more using your "Slammer". A lot of

20 Bedding Sets That Every 90s Kid Dreamed Of Having When They Were Kids

I know that when most 90s kids looked through the Sears Wishbook, they focused on the toys. I definitely spent my fair share of time flipping through the pages of Barbies and Lego, but there was always one section that I couldn't resist and I cannot be the only one. Every single year, I would flip through the toys first, but then move on with excitement to the bedding section. Seeing all the latest and greatest comforters and blankets always brought a smile to my face.I don't know how many Christmases I asked for a "Bed-in-a-Bag" set that would

Seeing Celebrities' Homes From The 90s Is Like Stepping Through A Time Machine

Who else has a very vivid memory of what their house looked like in the 90s? Everyone's house has specific look depending on what their parents were into at the time. In our house we had green wall-to-wall carpets, a blue couch that was almost a velvet texture and of course, a lazy boy recliner. In our basement we had a hand-me-down couch from my grandparents that looked like it had seen better days. It was basically just the scratchiest material ever but it didn't matter because it was ours. Our houses may not have looked as cool as the
