  • You looked forward to certain nights so that you could catch up with what was going on with the Huxtable's, or dream about shooting dynamite arrows from a speeding orange car, and to see what adventures your favorite soldiers of fourtune had in store while they were on the run from the military for a crime they didn't commit.

  • You loved bands with huge hair and eye makeup, played and sang their songs as loud as you could, and it was a fashion must to have all the t-shirts from Poison, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Guns-n-Roses, Warrant, RATT, KISS, and many more.

You Cannot Remove the Stickers from this Cube!


Retro Cube Speaker and Mood Light

If you grew up in the 80's then you had a Rubik's Cube and spent many frustrating hours trying to solve this puzzle.  It was totally bogus, and you eventually gave up and slung the thing across the room, took it apart, or removed all the stickers to make it look like you actually solved the stupid thing.  Even though that cube made you angry those cubes bring back fond memories of the 80's.  If you are looking for a cube that will not make you angry then this Retro Cube Speaker and Mood Light from Perpetual Kid will make you totally happy!  This is a great gift for the music-lover that likes to entertain, because this speaker changes color and flashes in response to the music you play.  That is wicked cool!

Here we go again!  You totally to the max love the 1980's if...

  • If you still exercise using Get In Shape Girl products.
  • You still want to be a Solid Gold Dancer.
  • When getting ready for a date you still use a hair crimper.
  • You believe that "The Littles" live in your house.
  • If you can name all the Thundercats.

I Love Donky Kong!


Donkey Kong T-Shirt

 

I am totally stuck in the 80's, yesterday it was the Cube Clock and today it is Donkey Kong.  If you know someone who has an obsession with all the video games from the 80's or someone whose idol is Steve Stiffler from American Pie then this It's On Like Donkey Kong T-Shirt would make a great gift. Do you really know everything about Donkey Kong?
