Hi- I'm having an 80's themed birthday party and I wanted to make cookie favors but I can't come up with any fun idea. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance for your help!
how about a rubik's cube cookie??
Or some hightop sneakers.....or a cassette tape with a "hair band's" name on it lol
I think the Rubik's Cube and Cassette tape idea is great!
You could also do Pac Man, joysticks, some of the School House Rock stuff (how a bill becomes a law, etc.), pink houses (John Cougar), Ray Ban sunglasses, Michael Jackson's glove, etc.
Michael Jackson's glove......now that brings back memories lol That was the only birthday cake I remember as a kid......my mom made a cake in a pyrex lasagna pan (left it in there too lol) and frosted it pink, (grocery store icing.mmm...lol) and traced her own hand and then filled it in with silver dragees!! I think I ate the entire glove myself (so much for those things being poisonous!! Oh wait...maybe that's what's wrong with me???? hahaha)
I love the rubiks cube idea! I loved my Vans in the 80's oh and my Top Siders! Oh Mtv started then! Could you do some version of the tv on a cookie with an antenna on top? Oh I just went back in time.. that's when Mtv was the best!! Great, now I want to watch Pretty in Pink!

Do a high top show with 2 different colored, slouched socks....LOL...that's the biggest thing I remember...or a t shirt tied on one side.
Since you're not selling them, you could make 80's cartoon character cookies. Fraggle Rock, Heman, She-ra (sp?), Smurfs, Popples, Rainbow Brite, Strawberry Shortcake, ThunderCats, Snorks, etc. Don't forget the flourescent colored shoe strings on the high tops and roller skates OH!! I almost forgot Jem!
As for the parachute pants, I had some too... lol. They were black/white checkered.
This thread is so much fun. Please show us pictures of what you decide to make. I had those too. Flashdance reunion anyone?
How about a hair spray can? White Rain, Rave, Aqua Net, Anyone?
HA! You guys are too funny!

Pop rocks were new then, even if they are still around. Maybe used them on top of the cookies?
If we are talking about hairspray, what about making Loves Baby Soft Perfume bottles? Anybody else do the Loves Baby Soft or Polo?LOL!

what a hoot! i cant wait to see what you've decided on. please post them to this thread!!!
I'm not sure of the age range of the attendees for your party but I grew up in the 80's and the cartoons were the best! The Smurfs, Fraggle Rock, JEM, Thundercats, He-man, etc. The 80's were the best! LOL
I'm with busymom9431, cans of hairspray..and BIG hair...That was the joy of the 80's...and Rhinestone Boots!! Those were the days!!
I am having flashbacks! please make them stop! Just kidding, these were fun times.
I so love the aqua net idea, nothing says eighties like big un-moveable hair!
how about some bright neon colors, you could do the words RELAX!
or my personal fav, a pair of sunglasses for the os so hot at the time, corey hart and his sunglasses at night!!!! Oh I loved that man
just some thoughts, keep em coming, this is such a fun thread!!!!
