Name a "must-have" item from your favorite decade.?

Question

Do you remember back in the 90s,80s,70s or whatever decade you wish to remember, wanting something because it was "cool." For example in the 90s, everyone wanted a scooter or roller blades. Earlier this century, everyone wanted the livestrong bracelets. And now its i-pods it seems. Our past has shown that these things are not important.

Answer 1

Well, first let me say, all the "must -haves" that I wanted, I never got. And I still survived. My teen years were all spent in the seventies... in high school, I remember wanting a pair of Thom McAnn (sp?) lace-up granny boots. I saw them on other folks. I saw them in my favorite magazine (Seventeen), and I really, really, really wanted some for myself. Whenever I saw them at the mall, they were just way too expensive. Eventually, they went out of style, and I went off to college.. and eventually got into my 40's, and never did get those boots.
I had a nice pair of Roots Earth shoes, though. :-)

I envied my friends who could afford record albums, too. I never could afford records, but I did invest in a tiny transistor radio and enjoyed it most immensely.

Answer 2

I have quite a few things like bead necklaces and chain belts from the 60's. Hats from the 40's and 50's, purses, hankies silver spoons travel information from all over the world and I will be putting it all up for auction on EBay. I cleaned out my mothers home my aunts home and a lot of my own stuff you can only live with so much stuff. If you are looking for anything just come on over as I have many of those hard to find " must haves".

Answer 3

i'd like to have that hippie sign that boys and girls wore in the 60's. and, of course, i couldn't live without this new tehnology... but i guess my fave item is my computer. when you have internet, you can always find what you search for.

Answer 4
