The Hottest Christmas Gift Based On The Year You Were Born

Christmas is around the corner, and all I'm thinking about is my gifts. Yes, I'm one of those people who gets excited about gifts. I'm sure you do too. So please don't deny it. If you think I'm eager, you should have seen me as a kid. I literally could not wait until I got my hands on my toys. I mean, back in the day, the gifts were so lit. All I wanted was a Barbie doll and a Furby. But then again, my mind changed every year. I always wanted the most popular thing that year. Let's take a trip down memory lane and see the hottest Christmas gift that came out the year you were born!  

1. 2001

Not going to lie, but I had a few of these Bratz dolls. They're like Barbie dolls, but better. Also, they have lip goals. Not fair! 

2. 2000

A Razor Scooter was definitely on my wish list. Too bad I didn't get it. I feel bad for seven-year-old me.

3. 1999

I think it is safe to say that Pokémon has definitely stood the test of time. The Game Boy cartridges were huge back in 1999, especially this one. 

4. 1998

A whopping 1.8 million Furbies were sold in 1998! That's madness. I don't blame people for buying them, though. I mean, Furbies have their own little language, which is pretty hilarious. 

5. 1997

I would trade in my phone for a Tamagotchi any day. Actually, I wish my only responsibility in my life is to take care of my Tamagotchi. 

6. 1996

The craze over this toy was actually insane. People literally lost their minds over Tickle Me Elmo. This toy was featured on The Rosie O'Donnell Show, which made sales go up. This toy was so popular that two women were arrested in Chicago because they were fighting over this toy. I guess people will do anything for their kids. 

7. 1995

I was obsessed with Beanie Babies. I took such good care of their tags because I thought that they would be worth a lot of money one day. I guess I should try selling them. Who wants one? Do I have any takers? 

8. 1994

Go go Power Rangers! I used to be obsessed with this show. Of course, I was always the pink Power Ranger. 

9. 1993

The Talkboy is a portable variable speed cassette player, and Kevin used it in Home Alone 2. I guess I need it, too, since it basically got him out of many sticky situations. 

10. 1992

WWF wrestling figures were super popular back in the day! The only wrestler I recognize is Hulk Hogan. Do you recognize any? 

11. 1991

Playing Sonic on Sega Game Gear was huge in 1991. It's crazy how much handheld games have changed over the past couple of years. 

12.1990

It's pretty awesome that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle figures are back to being popular. Love Raphael.
