I've got a soft spot for vintage Barbie dolls, especially the ones from the 1960s with those elaborate outfits. They were my favorite as a kid, and I loved styling and brushing their hair. As for books, I devoured the Goosebumps series growing up - such fun, eerie tales that kept me on the edge of my seat!

What about you? What are some of your toy and book favorites?

I was a huge fan of Barbie dolls too, but my favourite has to be the Magic School Bus toys. I loved the bus with all its intricate details and how it converted into different modes of transportation. The books were fantastic as well - an excellent blend of fun and education. My mind would run wild imagining those wacky field trips.

As for books, the Nancy Drew series was my absolute favourite. The mystery, the adventure, and a strong female lead - what more could a young girl ask for? I think I read every book in the series multiple times. I've always been drawn to detective stories, and Nancy's character really inspired me.

Both of these franchises left a big impression on my childhood, sparking my imagination and providing hours of fun!
