Maybe this is a very old person thing to say, but y'all...they just don't make things like they used to.
As a young millennial, I grew up with Hit Clips, giant CD collections, VHS tapes, and the Gameboy Advance. And sure, many things have improved in the last couple decades, but I can't help but feel a little nostalgic for what once was.
But not to worry — as it turns out, many of our favorite toys, games, and items are still available! I did the work of tracking them down for you, so if you want to show the kids in your life the true joy of an early 2000s childhood, or you just want to relive your own, check out some of these products!
1. Remember bouncing around on Moon Shoes and almost breaking your ankle? Well, you can still buy them today!
Get them from Amazon for $35.99.
2. Or, check out this updated, higher quality version!
Get them from Target for $111.99 (available in two sizes and colors).
4. Or, if you're looking to buy them for your kids, check out these sick light-up dupes.
Get them from Amazon for $36.75 (available in kid's sizes 1–13).
7. Speaking of outdoor activities...forget Bird or Lime motorized scooters. Forget skateboards and bikes. Razor scooters were the perfect mode of transportation, and it's time we bring them back.
8. And since we're on the subject of skateboards, we all know what the best kind of skateboard is, and it's one that can fit into the palm of your hand. That's right, I'm talking about Tech Decks, which are very much alive and well.
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $10.99.
10. I unfortunately could not find the classic Bop It! Xtreme available anywhere but on secondhand sites. BUT...there is a Minions version of Bop It!, and I would consider it extreme.
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 if you want to be forever scarred.
11. Remember those days we spent tending to our Tamagotchi's every need? The excitement we felt when an egg hatched? You can experience that all over again.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 33 colors).
12. Or, if you got a later version of Tamagotchi growing up, relive your childhood by grabbing this V5 version.
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $25.
13. Ever wanted to make another sugary, delicious concoction in an Easy Bake Oven? Now's your chance!
Get it from Walmart for $44.97.
14. If you're anything like me, you spend hours asking your Magic 8 Ball if you and your crush would ever get together. Why not do the same now with your work crush or that hot guy you saw at your go-to coffee shop?
Get it from Amazon for $14.08.
15. I had no idea what these actually were as a kid — I guess they're called "plasma balls" —but my brother had one and I thought it was the coolest. If you want to relive the thrill of all those little electric tendrils connecting to your hand, who am I to stop you?
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in four colors).
16. I don't know why we ever stopped buying lava lamps. If you want to help me bring them back, I would be forever grateful.
Get it from Amazon for $20.07.
17. Ditto goes for inflatable furniture, especially any involving glitter. We should never have let it out of our hearts.
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
18. Or, if you're ~too cool~ for the 2000s version, check out an updated one perfect for festivals and camping!
Get it from Amazon for $39.97 (available in 13 colors).
19. Look, making your own jewelry is cool and all, but it was a whole lot cooler when you could create pendants and designs through Shrinky Dinks. Looking for a date activity? Look no further!
Get them from Michaels for $6.99.
21. I also need everyone to know that something called "long Furbys" exist on Etsy. Proceed with caution.
You can also get an octopus Furby plush, if that's your thing.
22. Remember that game Perfection? That was my first step to becoming a perfectionist. Honestly, I kind of want to buy it just so I can see if I can still do it.
Get it from Amazon for $22.99.
24. You can also get a Star Wars R2D2 version.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
25. But no board game was as fun and inventive as Mouse Trap. If you haven't played in a while, now's your chance!
Get it from Target for $20.99.
26. Forget gameboys, or even your phones — Tiger electronics had the best handheld video games of all time. Of all time! Remember the Little Mermaid game?
Get it from Amazon for $28.
27. Or, grab the X-Men version!
Get it from Amazon for $13.25.
28. And finally, the ultimate childhood brand is still alive and well: Lisa Frank. If you want to be the coolest kid in the office, grab some Lisa Frank stickers and folders from Amazon.
29. Or maybe some merch to show your love.
Get the sweatshirt for $50 (available in eight sizes and three colors), the shirt for $25 (also available in eight sizes and three colors), and check out everything else available at Lisa Frank.
