When I was a little girl and it came time to make my Christmas list, it usually had something to do with whatever the hot doll or stuffed animal was for that year. Of course there were the Barbie years.
The year I got that Barbie Townhouse was so exciting, even if mine had a yellow elevator instead of the pink one that would come out later that year. Hrumph.
Barbies, Cabbage Patch Dolls, Strawberry Shortcake and pretty much any stuffed animal: that’s what I wanted. And the pinker the better.
I guess my obsession with Care Bears was so great that when they came back out when I was in my early 20s, my mom had to get me another one(and a cookbook because it stops being all about the fun once you’re not a kid any more, apparently). I wonder if I still have that Care-A-Lot somewhere…
I have three little boys who definitely don’t share my love of all things pink(even if one did have to have his green Care Bear as his lovey every night for two years when he was a baby). So they have their own ideas of what makes for really awesome Christmas lists.
LEGO® sets are always on my boys’ wish lists, even though part of me wonders if they have enough, according them them, they can never have enough LEGO(probably how my mom felt about me and stuffed animals when I was their age).

What is your child’s must-have toy this year? What toy do you remember really wanting when you were a kid
I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.
We’ve narrowed his massive list down to 2 must have items Jake and the Neverland pirates legos and TMNT playset.
I had the Barbie townhouse. I wanted the dream house, but had to settle LOL!
I wanted that, too! I think the reason you can’t see my face in that pic is b/c I was looking at it like “What IS this???”
I don’t have children. I also got a strawberry shortcake, care bear and the barbie dream house when I was little! Blogging Twinsies! LOL
Seriously though it’s great to hear that Kmart is giving back to St. Jude’s!
Def LEGO will be under the tree this year.. I always wanted a Rainbow Bright doll.
How could I forget about Rainbow Brite? I had some of those… I don’t remember what they’re called. They were like her little pets. They were fuzzy and had rainbow legs and star ears. I’m going to have to google. Sprites!
Awesome list for the holiday, Love that they help St. Jude.
Lego is a no brainer in our house, but it’s Star Wars for Turbo and Superheros for Bruiser. They know who the sets belong to and what they want.
We are looking for other ideas too. Since it can’t be just Legos…
One year, for my oldest, it pretty much was all Lego. He was thrilled!
I still have my Care Bears, and my son has taken over them. (I need to find the ones my brother had.) We’re looking at trains, trains and more trains for Christmas!
I still remember my sister *needing* a Cabbage Patch doll . . . I want to say my parents bought a brand new washer & dryer because an appliance store was offering a CPD with any purchase over so much, and the washer & dryer were the next on the list to possibly be replaced.
My favorite Christmas tradition is quickly turning to Legos. CJ picks something out for me — we wake at my mom’s house, and there is a great big frenzy of gift giving. At some point, the four of us end up at our own house, and we exchange presents among ourselves, and CJ gives me the Lego set that he picked out.
Then we put it together, together.
I remember my mom stalking stores, trying to get Cabbage Patch dolls. She got mine but she also found ones for my cousins and our neighbors, too. Back before you could just order online. LOL
I’m not fast enough at putting together LEGO sets for my son’s taste. He prefers to do them alone.
What great ideas! We loved kmart before they left Canada! I’d for sure be going there to shop!
What a nice list. TMNT power wheel is on my sons list.
These are all great gift ideas. The Nerf Zombie Strike SlingFire Blaster would be a favorite at our house.
My daughter always wanted one of the Barbie houses with the pink elevator! She never got one with a pink elevator either.
What were they thinking with the yellow one? Barbie = pink!
I would love to get the simon swipe for my kids. My son loves those legos too though. Choices, choices.
I had that Barbie and that Barbie house too! Good times. I liked the Care Bears but didn’t have any when I was younger. I was more obsessed with Cabbage Patch Kids.
KMart hit the nail on the head with their Fab 15 list. My twins have asked for 10 out of the 15 items on the list! 🙂
My son would love the Lego Super Heroes line. It’s two of his favorite things.
I always wanted the Barbie Townhouse and the Camper! On my kids list are LEGOs, Skylanders and Frozen!
Great list. I am sure kids everywhere are thanking you right now
I loved your photos! How awesome! Great gift ideas. I will be getting a few of those too!
I love that Kmart has partnered with St. Jude! Great toy list too!
Awesome roundup! Personally, I think Lego is always a great gift.
I always donate at the check out if it’s for St. Jude. Kudos to Kmart for participating.
I use to LOVE the carebars and Barbies! My niece is all into Disney’s Doc McStuffins this year!
I remember really wanting the Cinderella Board game back in the 70/80s and an easy bake oven. Kmart really knows how to do Christmas. Thanks for sharing the toy list.
I wanted an easy bake oven so badly. I never got one, though.
this is a great list for Christmas. My daughter loves her easy bake oven.
I had so many favorites! My little pony, all things Barbie, and so on! Oh and your first photo I see a lot of your boys in you!
My son is always all about the Legos. He started his list months ago. We are about the DocMcStuffins too..Im the one who loves her.
My daughter used to love playing with Barbies and Cabbage Patch Kids! I did too when I was little!
