Get ready to laugh: This old RadioShack commercial shows everything you wanted for Christmas in 1991

You might not think about technology of yesteryear too often, but the holidays are a time to reminisce.

An old RadioShack commercial from 1991 shows just what you might have put on your Christmas list back then.

Yes, this is a car phone. Meaning, it’s a phone with a cord for your car. (Image: YouTube screenshot)

Watch the whole thing for yourself:

In the spirit of reminiscing about favored presents past, let us know in the comments section below what your favorite gift ever given or received was:

I’ll go first.

Gave: Rice cooker I got for my dad. I once teased him for wanting such an unnecessary kitchen item — a pot of boiling water and a lid will do just fine in my opinion. I got it for him more of as a gag since I had given him a hard time. But now almost 10 years later, he to this day still talks about how great it is and how regularly he uses it.

Received: My grandfather’s compound light microscope, passed down from my uncle. Such an antique that even had a great wooden case for it. Complete also with slides, cover slips and dyes for my then budding scientist self.

    I still remember the Fort Apache play set I got when I was young. Now I think it’s called Fort Goodfriends or some such PC thing.

    Favorite gift I’ve given: homemade slippers
