Noooo! What are kids supposed to paw over on the run up to Christmas now?!

When I was young, I always liked going to the end of the catalogue and looking at their toys. Then when I got a bit older and they started selling PCs, looking at the computers in there.

 

My nephew always looked looking at the vacuum cleaners for some reason.

 

I don't think I've actually seen a physical Argos catalogue in about ten years now.

Just a quick one I whipped up in my lunch time

I used to LOVE looking at all the toys: Micro Machines, GameBoys and WWF action figures spring to mind. Then I moved on to wistfully gazing at the Walkmans, Discmans and Sharp/Casio personal organisers.

It's a sad thing to say, but I think the going through the Argos catalogue has been replaced by those really annoying (IMHO) unboxing videos
