Like the women of fab I always wanted a real Action Man
For some reason Santa got me an action figure of The Lone Ranger with his horse and all his accessories...camp fire,camp bed,guns
Absolutely loved it and played with it for years
It's still in my attic somewhere ....50 odd years later |

The present i always wanted was a set of racing cars that were free with zkellogs cornflakes.
We weren't eating enough to collect tokens for two sets so I sent off enough to get my brother a set for his September birthday with a note to say what they were for.
When they arrived I was proud and jealous at the same time. He was a September baby and the offer was going to be done by Christmas so I knew there wasn't a hope of gathering up another set of tokens.
I was 8 and he was 6.
Just before Christmas a package arrived with my name on it - it was a second set of cars and a letter from Kellogs wishing me a happy Christmas 😊. Definitely added to the magic of Christmas that year for me. |

That is the best post I’ve read in a long time, very heartwarming on a chilly day. |

I’m a very humble man. My daughter asked me last week what I wanted for Xmas. Told her a new mop because I broke the other one. So time will tell if I get a mop for Xmas. I did mention socks and boxers but I think most dads get them anyway 😎. Oh if I could wish for something it would be for 2 new back tyres for the aul transit van😎 |

Also mr frosty. Never got one and never knew anyone who got one to the extent I believe it didn’t exist outside of the advertisements and was there to get the parents into the toy shop to sell other tat. |

"I bought my kids a mister frosty slushy maker for Christmas
It was absolute shite and went in the bin after a week "
I imagine a lot of stuff ends up like this! I remember getting a remote controlled car that could “jump” over things. It looked so cool in the ad but the thing had trouble jumping over a pen ffs!  |
