Toys catalogs

The Sears Wish Book was the enemy of so many parents. If you ever NOT wanted a kid see everything they didn't even know they wanted, hide the wishbook. Lol

I googled it and I discovered that at Sears had.. ehm.. curious tastes when it came to fashion: https://mondomolly.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/234.jpg

My pap had a JC Penney credit card, so I mostly remember their catalogs from the '90s. My mom would always get one from Thrift Drug (that became Eckerd that became Rite Aid), and I'd spend a good amount of time circling things that I wanted, though she rarely purchased them. There was a Breyer horse barn that I desperately wanted.

My main interest in the '80s was My Little Pony, and I usually learned about new ones from their package inserts.

I wish I still had my old Sears and JC Penny catalogues, just so that I could use them as a guide to expanding my toy collection, as I'm sure I've forgotten many of the toys I had back then. I loved spending hours upon hours looking through the pages and picking stuff out that my parents never ordered for me...lol.

I still have a few Wishbooks JC Penny's and Sears. Not mine from childhood but one's I have repurchased. I remember going through them with my sister and circling/writing our initials next to every thing we wanted!! Great memories!
