The Top 9 Gifts For Every '90s Kid

The best gifts we got as children.

There are those gifts every generation has that are unforgettable. For us '90s babies, there were nine gifts that everyone clamored for, and we all wanted to see under the Christmas tree.

1. Pokémon cards

Every true child of the '90s had a pack of these nestled between new socks and Christmas candy in our stockings. If you preferred Yu-Gi-Oh!, there's no use trying to help you.

2. Yellow Plastic Desk

I'm sorry, but if you didn't have one of these under the tree, how were you ever going to be successful? The marker wheel and backlit surface paired with the efficient swivel chair is what every future CFO needs for their corner of the playroom.


3. Beyblades

Ripping apart your knuckles was never the same after the rise of the Beyblade. Although this toy fad was quick to die, every 90s kid is reminded of them by their scarred hands from the epic battles that took place all winter long.


4. Hit Clips

The Backstreet Boys and Britney never sounded sweeter than when blasted out of these tiny speakers. You ruled the elementary school bus if you had an arsenal of these clipped to your backpack.


5. Nintendo DS

The updated Gameboy turned out to be a really expensive Tamagotchi as we all valiantly attempted to keep our Nintendogs alive past January 1. The variety of colors for that individual flair meant one for each of us.


6. Furbies

Was it a true Christmas without one of these haunting gremlins lurking under the tree? Sure, you were sick of them before the last present was opened and they creeped the hell out of everyone, but the Furbie is a 90s must have.


7. Moon Shoes

This was the most epic leg workout as a child, perfect for burning off all of those holiday sweets. Stabilized feet were imperative because the bouncing usually got out of hand-- as did the wicked poses you struck midair.


8. Razor Scooters

The only thing sicker than opening that oblong box that held the cherished scooter are the sweet moves that you learned after scraping most of your epidermis off on the driveway. I think the popularity of the razor scooter is apparent as it transcends time to appear on college campuses nationwide.

9. Power Wheels Jeep

You're lying if you say you didn't get hyped when you saw one of these bad boys sitting in the entrance way, fresh from Santa's workshop. Whether you got the original Jeep Wrangler, the Barbie Jeep, or the tricked out monster Jeep you rode in style way past the point where you could comfortably sit without your knees hitting your chin. (Plastic camera not included.)

The sheer excitement of opening gifts as a child was always made much better when something awesome was waiting under the paper. And 90s gifts were superior to any today's youth asks for.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
