Christmas is fast approaching, for most of us, today or tomorrow is our last day in the office before we take some leave.
But before you go, I want to know what was the best gift you ever got as a child? The present that still makes you smile all these years later.
I’ll go first, Hot Wheels Rollerblades!
Absolutely this beast! Used to take it to my friends and play action men all day long.
Seems daft now 
For me (massive nerd alert 
) is was a model train. Mainly because I saved up for most of it but my Grandma gave me a fiver ( big money back in the 90s) to make the gap up.
Now it’s a nice bottle of single malt….
Mine was a WWE ring with the wrestlers to go with it hahaha. Jesus looking back now - what a weird thing to be thrilled about. 
I take it one step further, I always had action men, my sister Barbie’s, and I used to take the heads off the dolls and bat them across the house with my action man
Brotherly love right there 
That’s how it’s done Carlo! 
It’s all well and good as we are still pretty close now
It was a Scalectrix for me.
I spent day after day being Jim Clark and was quite upset when he died.
It also fired a lifelong interest in motor racing.
Oh my god, memory unlocked! I’d fully forgotten about this until just now.
I’ve just thought of the ultimate, Pogs. Who remembers them?
I thought I was the only one to have this mad toy! 
I think this was £11.99 in about 1977. Spent ages building it, beautifully detailed model which took weeks to put together - the V12 engine detailing was beautiful. I still have it in my loft although somewhat the worse for wear these days, sadly. Almost tempted to buy this and build it again. Almost…
Absolute classic love this game, played it so much back in the day haha need to hunt down my old GBA games and my SP
Omg still got these somewhere in the house I managed to finish the Star Wars version of these as well and got the binder for them
It was honestly, getting a PS3 and a Xbox 360 one Christmas when I younger, it honestly meant so much because I know how expensive they were and the fact that my family went out and spent that kind of money just to make sure I had a good Christmas has always stuck with me, and it’s never been about the gifts but just the meaning behind it
Ok, some more.
Duck Hunt for NES. Kids these days will never know the joy of blowing dust into your lungs to get the game to load and that stupidly annoying dog. Plus the fact you had to hold the bloody thing about an inch off the TV for it to work.
Amiga and Lemmings.
Anything Lego Technics.
That stupid mini oven thing that burnt you more than the thing it was meant to cook.
This is awesome and same, loved and still love Dragon Ball/z\Super that series was a game changer for real no pun intended haha
This game used to drive me mad
