The ‘80s and ‘90s were full of fun and exciting things. It was the golden age of pop-culture, with some of history’s best music, best TV shows, best films, and the best gadgets were all created then.
The "eighties" are well known for the music and extreme fashion, such as the big hair, New Wave, punk rock, funk, and cult classic movies such as Back to the Future (1985) and E.T. (1982). It was the time when Madonna, Whitney Houston and George Michael ruled the roost, and when power ballads and mixtapes were everywhere.
The "nineties" were more about grunge bands, girl power and boy bands in the music world. In the world of cinema, we saw history being made with films like Titanic (1997), Clueless (1995) and Pulp Fiction (1994). In the fashion world, it was all about punk, grunge, and tiny sunglasses.
Just to jog your memory a little more and give you some more inspiration, think of the Powerpuff Girls, Friends, and Ghostbusters. Or think of Arcade Machines, Tetris, Tamagotchi and Boomboxes! The list is endless, and the ‘80s and ‘90s are a great source of inspiration when it comes to gifts.
