I think I would have loved this doll as a child—she’s so cute and fancy.

I love the graphic nature of the design of this Comet sled.

I thought this toy bicycle was cute.

A Care Bears lunchbox. I can’t help but comment: Really? $12.99 for a lunch box? That’s one expensive lunchbox, and Care Bears wasn’t even a great cartoon…

This nightlight is super retro and cute.

I just had to take a photo of this Hirsch-Weis (a division of White Stag), sleeping bag tag. It’s awesome; I love everything about it—the fonts, colors and drawings.

A Strawberry Shortcake lunchbox.
