Sears' 1990 Wish Book

In 1933, Sears released its first ever Wish Book—a vast catalog highlighting the store's best-selling items that served as a sort of cheat sheet for what to buy everyone on your holiday gift list. By the time 1990 rolled around, the catalog was even bigger—a whopping 728 pages—and filled with the kind of then-popular, now-comical products that only the 1990s could have produced. Take a trip down retro memory lane with this photo peek inside the 1990 Wish Book.

Any of you had this rad Beetlejuice sweatsuit?
So many Walkman choices.
I'm pretty certain that my grandmother had this exact model Zenith set...and she hung on to that thing until it could no longer function.
We had a lot of these Ghostbusters toys...but I had no idea that Beetlejuice was this popular.
I'm so glad that these aren't "in" anymore.

I'm actually kind of pissed that I never owned the TMNT one.

Those three in the sweatsuits look like they probably still hang out together today. Each of them has provided their son's with a matching ensemble.

I probably spanked it to the red head in the giant tshirt

That thing use to come in around August or September. As soon as I was able to get to look at it, I would turn it to the back.. where all the toys were.
You know what use to piss me off? They had football uniforms, but only a few teams were available.. Every year the picture was a kid in a Cowboys uniform and as bad as I wanted a uniform, they didn't have the Saints and I didn't want to get another team.

That's a blast from the past.

In the 80's my sister and I fought over that wishbook.
I would go through every single page.

That TV was in my grandmother's house from ~1990 to 2008. Logged a ton of Christmas day NBA games on that beast.

I remember stealing a Fredricks of Hollywood magazine from my mom.. Now that was a good wish book.

My parents use to give me and my brother a $100 limit. We went through that fricker and would get it to the nickle..... then my parents would get us something different for Christmas.

definitely rocked that Ninja Turtles sweatsuit back in the day

I would circle the Tyco Typhoon hovercraft 9000 times for emphasis in those wish books, but I never got it.
People on here have told me it wasn't all that fun, but I refuse to believe.
