Nothing like the good old days.

Those cardboard cut out dolls. You used to have to cut out all the different outfits and fold the tabs over to dress them

Oh yes! They had the trendiest outfits (unless you got the historical - or was that hysterical ones)
 
I also remember one year I had an "aga". Made of tin plate and there were parafin sticks you could buy (like a small version of a firelighter) that could be put in the burners and lit. Don't remember if I actually managed to "cook" anything on it. I did see one a long time ago in a toy museum in Brighton. Can you imagine us getting anything like that now?
