If you were born in the late 1950s/early 1960s - what toys did you play with? archived

I'm putting together sort of an odd Christmas gift for my brother and his wife. I realized how much fun it was to get an old view-master view and slide reels because I loved them as a kid. I saw one in an antique center one day and got it - It's just a fun thing to have even as an adult. (Looking at the old NASA/1960s space program stuff in stereoscope is beyond fun.)

So, I bought my brother an old Erector Set from the late 50s. He's studied engineering, so he's probably going to actually tinker with it and have some fun.

Now, I'm trying to think of a fun vintage kid gift kind of thing I could get his wife, who is about the same age as my brother, born in 1958 or 1959.

I got them something else that's "adult" so I'm not just giving them old toys, but would love to find something fun that my sister-in-law may have played with as a kid or would bring back memories/be fun to have.

Any great toys you played with as a kid that you'd actually find fun to come across again now as an adult?
