      My sister got shrinky dinks. One year she got Popeye glitter cards and I got a circus color book with a huge box of water colors.
      My mom was the best. She always had the best presents under the tree.
      We NEVER got a toy or gift just for going to the store with mom.
      Actually, we NEVER went to a store with mom. Now, I go to dollar store with my granddaughter and am guilty of usually letting her get something. It's best not to take kids to these Mish mash of everything stores.

    I was born in 1963, yet some of these toys I've never heard of. That being said, spirograph has always been one of my favorites. I have one. I also had a View Master and would spend hours looking through it. I had a reel of Disneyland features. One of them showed a futuristic display at Disneyland that was sponsored by the aerospace plant, McDonnell Douglas. Interestingly, I married a rocket scientist whose first job after college was McDonnell Douglas. MD is no longer, and that display is no longer at Disneyland. I have a 36 year old daughter whose favorite toy was, and still is, Hungry Hungry Hippos.

    Litebrite was my favorite. For one thing, I actually had one. I did not usually get what I asked for and if I did get a toy, it was a hand me down. I did get a Lite asBrite and it was new, in the box, and I loved it as much as I thought I would. I had some spirographs too, I liked using those with colored pencils, for some reason they put my mother in a bad mood. I think she tossed them.

Not action figures just molded plastic figures and you got different backgrounds and or accessories with them. Speaking of cowboys let’s not forget cap guns that looked like real firearms and shot caps and could smell the gunpowder and see the smoke.
