Tyco Toys

Christmas as a child meant endless surprises and the possibilities of magic. Conversations of Santa's 12 reindeer and the smell of hot cocoa filled the air in the weeks proceeding Christmas Eve as the spirit of the holidays came to light.

In between the overplayed Christmas tunes and long lines at the mall, being a kid always meant thinking of a list of toys you wanted to ask Santa Claus for in hopes you made the nice list that year.

With 2018 around the corner, it seems that lists are growing shorter and prices are escalating as Santa is expected to make more toys with the help of elves that have a background in technology rather than en expertise in woodwork.

Throwing back to the simpler days, when Santa slid down the chimney to deliver gifts promoting creativity and imagination, these 29 toys will make any 90s kid nostalgic and wishing for the good ole' days.

1. Bratz Passion For Fashion Funky Makeover Head


2. Blues Clues Mailbox with booklet

You were even cooler if you had Steve's Couch shaped booklet and awkwardly large crayon to match.

3. The Mystery Machine Tin Lunch Box

4. Toy Story Mr. Mike Voice Changer Tape Recorder

If you weren't lucky enough to unwrap this on Christmas morning as a kid, you can purchase it today on Ebay.com for $296.

5. Lip Smacker Soda Pop Chapstick

Every trip to Limited Too wasn't complete without stocking up on at least three flavors at check out.

6. Plush Reptar Doll

Saturday morning cartoons weren't complete without a bowl of sugary cereal and Reptar sitting at the table.

7. Rocket Power Alarm Clock

If this alarm clock didn't make you want to get up early on a weekend morning and strap on a pair of rollerblades, were you even a Rocket Power fan?

8. Skip It

Introducing Sims before Sims. Any 90s kid surely had a keychain linking together at least seven different Tomogatchis.

10. Lite Brite

11. Easy Bake Oven

I'm still wondering how powder mixed with water cooked by a light was ever supposed to look like a layered cake with icing.

12. Yu-Gi-Oh Cards

13. Polly Pockets


14. Furby

In all honesty, I spent years afraid of owning a Furby after seeing Gremlins, but eventually came to own a collection of five.

15. Radica Girl Tech Password Journal

I had two brothers that would simply use a butterknife to break in, but that didn't keep me from begging Santa for a password journal as soon a I could write.

16. Gel Pens

17. Conair Quick Braid

This was more of a torture device than a toy, however no sleepover was complete without trying to bedazzle each other's hair with a series of small braids.

18. American Girl Doll

19. Hit Clip

In between the transition from Walkmans to iPods, Hit Clips allowed you to listen to 30 seconds of all your favorite songs. Cue the nostalgic Backstreet Boys and Destiny's child obsession.

20. Garbage Pail Kids Trading Cards

21. Slinky


22. Any Spy Tech Toy Ever


Walkie-talkies, motion detectors and recording devices are just a few of the Spy Tech toys that made every child's Spy Kids dreams come true.

23. Nerf Guns


24. Roll On Lip Gloss


25. Slap Bracelets

26. Tech Deck


Mastering the technique of a Tech Deck took practice, but if you could learn a few tricks you could impress anyone at lunch time or recess.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
