toys

When we outgrow our toys, we tend to shove them into a drawer and forget about them. But not everyone does that.

Growing up I was always the aunt who bought the annoying toys for kids.  Now that I am a mom myself, I understand why my sisters hated me, lol.  Here are five of the most annoying toys you could buy for a child.

A toy company shows the world that girls deserve more choices than dolls and princesses. GoldieBlox recruited three young girls and turned an average home into an awesome contraption. If you recognize the song it's because they recreated the Beastie Boys track and gave it a Princess feel to it....

The National Toy Hall of Fame is awfully fond of these toys.

Remember Madballs and Popples? If you, like us, managed to successfully block out most of your childhood, the answer is a resounding "no"!

Thirteen year-old McKenna Pope is fighting mad at Hasbro, and this little activist wants some positive changes now. The eighth grader, who hails from Garfield, New Jersey, has started a petition on Change.org asking Hasbro to make their Easy Bake Ovens more gender-neutral.

This is a timelapse video of the process involved in taking the "Success Kid" meme and turning it into a tiny sandstone statue. Don't you want a tiny "success kid" you can keep in your pocket like a lucky rabbit foot?

Toys in the '70s sure were awesome, but let's face it -- they weren't always well-thought-out. In that spirit, we present 'Hugo: Man of a Thousand Faces,' a large plastic doll that surely qualifies as one of the most disturbing toys of all time. If you owned one, you have our sympathy.

Here are 11 awesome toys from the 1990's we wish we could play with right now.

People have long debated whether it’s better to give or receive during the holidays. That debate can now be laid to rest as one Chicago gentleman’s club has decided that their clientele should give and receive.
