    1. Stamper markers:

    VC-Art

    The original emoji.

    2. Alien eggs:

    Amazon

    Rumours claimed they could get pregnant and have alien babies but no one could ever actually prove it.

    3. This exact mat:

    Amazon

    This is where you'd play when you had friends over.

    4. Tamagotchi:

    Remembering to feed your Tamagotchi was your biggest worry in a simpler time.

    5. This art kit:

    Amazon

    You walked taller and prouder when you owned one of these.

    6. Sticky hands:

    Amazon

    Nothing better than pulling these sticky, stretchy things out of a party bag.

    7. Slap bracelets:

    Amazon

    It was a sad day when they were banned from school.

    8. Cat's cradle:

    Amazon

    Essentially just a long piece of string. If you mastered several levels of this game you were a GENIUS.

    9. Pokémon cards:

    You'd trade them in the school playground and be heartbroken when they got confiscated.

    10. Scoobies:

    Twitter: @SteAndKel

    You had more of these on your keychain than actual keys.

    11. Blo pens:

    Amazon, youtube.com

    Tasted awful and left you breathless, but it was worth it for the art.

    12. Turtle sandbox:

    Amazon

    If you didn't have one, your neighbour definitely did.

    13. Buzz magnets:

    Amazon

    The fidget spinners of our time.

    14. Rainbow slinky:

    Amazon

    Untangling one of these was a goddamn mission.

    15. Sky dancers:

    youtube.com

    You probably got hit in the face by a wing or had one stuck in your hair.

    16. Wooden bead maze:

    Amazon

    Obviously the best part of any dentist's waiting room.

    17. Paper fortune teller:

    18. Stickle bricks:

    Amazon

    Made you feel like an architect prodigy.

    19. Pogs:

    Amazon

    Flipping pogs belongs in the olympics tbh.

    20. Furbies:

    Creepy as heck but also inexplicably endearing.

    21. Water wigglies:

    Amazon

    They never stayed still, they eventually exploded.

    22. Betty Spaghetty dolls:

    Twitter: @thatgirltrixie

    You could mix and match 'em so having 3 was like having 20.

    23. Rubber poppers.

    Amazon

    They were massively therapeutic. You can still hear their signature "pop".

    24. Poo-Chi:

    Amazon

    This robotic dog was a pioneer of the mechanical industry.

    25. Bop It:

    You always pulled instead of twisting and it was SO FRUSTRATING.
