28 Things All '00s Schoolgirls Begged Their Parents For

    It takes a long time to buy a Juicy tracksuit when you get only 5 quid a week pocket money.

    1. To get your ears pierced at Claire's Accessories.

    2. And as soon as you could change them (or maybe a bit before), you'd get a cool stud collection.

    3. A pair of Ugg boots.

    4. And when everyone had Ugg boots, suddenly everyone had to have knitted Ugg boots.

    5. Pretty much everything in The Body Shop, but especially White Musk and body butter.

    6. Every colour of hair mascara.

    7. Sun In, which you were sure would make you look like Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson.

    8. Or if you wanted to look more like Hayley Williams you'd dye your hair with henna, probably also from The Body Shop.

    9. Every flavour of scented gel pens.

    10. And ideally you'd have a Bang on the Door pencil case to put them in.

    11. Or a pencil case with at least three compartments.

    12. A hair braid, every time you went on holiday.

    13. Every kind of Impulse body spray.

    14. Bracelets and key rings made from Scooby Doos.

    15. Anklets. So many anklets.

    16. And toe rings, which were possibly the least comfortable piece of jewellery ever made.

    17. Friendship bracelets that you swore you would never, ever take off.

    18. A mood ring so everyone knew what you were feeling at any time.

    19. Johnson's Holiday Skin or Garnier Summer Body.

    20. A Motorola Razr.

    21. An iPod Mini, and the latest Arctic Monkeys album to go on it.

    22. A dance mat that for some reason only came with '80s songs.

    23. A Badge It, which you were sure would mark the start of your entrepreneur career.

    24. Lancôme Juicy Tubes, or any other insanely sticky, practically see-through lip gloss.

    25. Clear mascara.

    26. Body glitter, which successfully made your sheets feel like sandpaper.

    27. These hairbands that felt like knives.

    28. And a velour tracksuit, or just anything else made out of velour.
