One year my mum asked us what we wanted and I really wanted a game boy. She bought me instead a handheld game thing that had like 1,000 games on it. Pretty sure 999 of were Tetris 
I did get an Ed the duck with a squeaky beak one year. Loved that guy and took him everywhere even though I was a teenager lol. |

The one I wanted but didn’t get was a Mr Frosty, until last week when someone got me one as a gift 🎁 "

There seems to be a theme here.
Never got a Mr. Frosty as a child. My mam knew they were shit because my cousins had them! Anyway, she got me one (for a laugh) as an adult, and I forgave her. She was right, it was shit.
I wouldn't bother getting our kids one either 😅 |

I used to get given the shittest version of everything I wanted. Usually it was bikes.
Want a bmx? Tough, have this second hand girl’s shopper instead.
Want a racer? Have the heaviest, slowest, worst coloured one we can find.
Want a mountain bike? Have a yellow one with road tyres.
I probably sound ungrateful, maybe I am, but we weren’t a poor family. |

Everything I ever got... Some are more memorable but having realised in my teens what sacrificed so we could have them I learned very quickly to appreciate them all. |
