What did you want as a child for Christmas but never got?

Mine was Mr Frosty too! Mum has since told me that it was because there were lots of reports of them being dangerous. I just thought Father Christmas was mean at the time!

I always wanted one of those cadburys chocolate money box things where you put in 10p and got a chocolate. I finally got one from H last year after I moaned about never having had one lol

Mr Frosty! I finally got one when I was about 17 after much nagging and was heartcrushingly disappointed. It just wasn't like I had dreamed of.

I wanted a Mr Frosty too! Were there various ones around? From memory I wanted the ice cube maker.... Not sure if this was the only one in the brand though?!??

A fisher price easy bake oven. Actually that's a lie, I did get it once but it broke on Christmas morning & I never saw it again. It must have been returned. It was the gift that got away! ?

How strange JoJo, did you ever ask her why?!

I always wanted a doodle bear

I always wanted a Mr Frosty! Glad to hear they're a bit crap though!

I had a jewellery making kit and I was never allowed to use it! My parents thought it'd be too messy!

Another 80's child here with Mr Frosty!

When I was very little I wanted Teddy Ruxpin (the one you put the cassette in). Santa did not oblige!

Mine was a Mr Frosty too! Maybe our parents somehow knew that they were shite.

My sister finally bought me one for my 30th birthday and I attempted to crush some ice for a cocktail - after about 10 minutes I gave up as it was far too much effort :-(

A worm sanctuary.

A Barbie. Looking back i have no idea why i wanted one. I also have no idea why my mum was so strongly opposed to me having one.......the closest i ever got was a second hand (and slightly mutilated) Sindy after my cousins had discarded her. I tried to love her, but i couldn't - she just wasn't Barbie!

I had a mr frosty and a Cadburys thing too. How jealous are you lot right now??!!

I always wanted a Dream Phone but my mum refused to let me have anything that involved liking boys, such as that and things like bliss magazines, so I went without :'-(.

Mr. Frosty here too. My brother got one from a jumble sale at his primary school (10p?) and it had no flavour sachets, so basically just did ice. It was rubbish.

I had an a la carte kitchen, but was crushed she I saw the TV advent and the girl had beans and sausage roll on hers. All I had was dried pasta and dried lentils/peas. I thought mime was broken!

Oh my god I forgot about Dream Phone! I sooooo wanted one but wasn't allowed! My parents obviously thought I'd be corrupted or something! ?

My sister had one of those - a Talkboy! It was rubbish though, the deep voice didn't make your voice go *that* much deeper.

I'm another one who wanted a Mr Frosty. When I was 8 or 9 I wanted a Commodore 64 so I could play Paperboy but my parents came through for us two years later with the Amiga 600!

I always always always wanted a trumpet and a batman suit. I don't know why, I just did! I think I had mentioned it in a drunken conversation at some point last year, and you'll never guess what I got for my birthday this year from my OH!

I proudly paraded around my living room in my batman suit, drinking bubbly and attempting to play the trumpet Happy camper!

I always wanted a Mr Frosty too!! ?

I can't remember what they were called but I also wanted those toy people that you could make their hair grow out of play-doh.

That was the Play doh mop top hair shop. I had one of those ? but it wasn't that good as the "hair" got stuck in the scissors so you couldn't cut it!

I think I too wanted a Mr Frosty. Also a Scaelectrix (sp?) - I got a cheap knock-off thing instead. I also found out relatively recently that my Girls' World was a cheap copy. My parents were not well off!

I also wanted a Mop Tops Hair Shop. I had forgotten about them!

My brothers (twins) each had a Mr Frosty, they were pants, basically you cranked the thing for 10 minutes to get a shot glass sized cup of crushed ice!

I wanted at various stages a red and yellow ride in car, a Girls World and a badge maker, a friend had a badge maker and it was the best thing ever but I was never allowed to use it because she was saving all the bits. bet she never even used them all! I also never got a chocolate machine but don't think I was that bothered about it!
