The 2000s toys we grew up with!

Having a shopaholic mom meant that every Christmas, the gifts under the tree came straight out of the holiday shopping catalog. These early 2000s toys were what made my Christmases and birthdays so special, as I eagerly waited to get an American Girl doll that I saw in the Christmas catalog or the 24-pack of Shopkins. As someone who has collected almost every collectible, from Pokémon cards to an enormous Shopkins collection, I feel fairly skilled to write this article. On a Christmas spent in Cincinnati, OH, my cousin introduced me to the world of Shopkins, and I was hooked. I’m pretty sure my parents spent an absurd amount of money on my entire Shopkins collection, because on every trip to Target I would beg them until they took me to the collectible toy aisle and bought me the small Shopkins basket that came with two blind-bag Shopkins. Then, for birthdays, all my friends and family, knowing about my Shopkins addiction, would give me more.
