Children all over the world make lists of all the presents they want and wait for the eventful day to see if they got everything they asked for.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once Christmas rolls around, toys go flying off the shelves. For example, <em>Legos<\/em> debuted in the 1940s, and <em>Barbies<\/em> debuted in the 50s and became hits around the nation. In the 70s, <em>Star Wars<\/em> came out and quickly they both became popular worldwide, which lead to very profitable toy sales. When people first think of popular toys, their mind might first go to the <em>Furby<\/em>. And in the 1990s, this was the case. Along with them, another popular toy for that year was the<em> Game Boy<\/em>. Then in the early 2000s, the <em>Nintendo Wii<\/em> and <em>Bratz<\/em> dolls came out. A little later in the 2010s, the <em>PlayStation<\/em> and <em>Xbox<\/em> came out, starting their rivalry over the best gaming console.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked about her favorite present growing up, <strong>Brenna Spencer (ADT)<\/strong> said, \u201cI got a DVD set of <em>Avatar: The Last Airbender<\/em> and that really made my year.\u201d She was also asked if there was ever a toy she wanted, but never got. She replied with, \u201cYeah, when I was little, I really wanted a phone and an iPad, but at the time I was too young and didn\u2019t get one.\u201d <strong>Vic Major (ADT) <\/strong>was also inquired about his favorite gift growing up and he stated, \u201cMine was probably the<em> Kindle Fire<\/em>.\u201d When asked if there was anything he really wanted to get, but never got growing up, he replied with, \u201cI always asked for plushies every year, but I never got them.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As seen, every year new fads and popular items come into play and drain people of their money around Christmas. Many say the money is worth it for the number of memories it can make growing up and it is a pleasant thing to look back on and smile.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"731\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-2-731x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1704\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-2-731x1024.png 731w, https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-2-214x300.png 214w, https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-2-768x1075.png 768w, https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-2.png 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 731px) 100vw, 731px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most Wanted Presents Over the Years&nbsp; By: Clay Lorigan&nbsp; Over the years, there has been&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1705,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1703","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1703"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1703\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1706,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1703\/revisions\/1706"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1705"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1703"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
