Sears Wish Books were basically the best thing ever. I think we can all agree that when we would receive them in the middle of summer we would immediately start planning our Christmas lists. Some kids would start marking up the pages even before our parents could see it. They probably didn't love when we would do that, but we got it first!
We have already shown you a few other Wish Books, including 1983 and 1990, but what did Christmas wish lists look like in 1991?
You've got to be excited if it is in the Super Values section!
If you owned a Video Painter you were so lucky, they were the best!

Just what ever parent wants: Something to make their kids even louder

Or a fun date night dress
Or perhaps a nice casual look
You'd try to pick out the coolest snowsuit imaginable
Osh Kosh B'Gosh were basically a requirement
The perfect look for middle school
What an impressive jacket collection
If your parents were really cool they could get some "His 'N Her Leather Blazers"
Do you remember looking through the Wish Book every Christmas?
