Anyone remember those plastic charms from the 80's?
« on: February 28, 2016, 11:12:32 AM »
I'm not sure what they are called, but you could wear them on a plastic belt/necklace/bracelet which was often rainbow colored. The charms range from bottles, telephones, to eggs in a frying pan. Anyway they released them again- I saw them at the craft store Michael's! I almost bought some! They are the same molds! I saw a bunch that I had when I was little. I couldn't stop looking at them lol!

I don't think they had a proper name... weren't they available in the gumball type machines?

They are flash charms! They are awesome and I love how they went for the same look and didn't try to modernize them somehow.

Oh yeah I know exactly what you are talking about- I had a lot of them, I think some are actually quite collectible! (I found out one of my friends collects these actively so I just sent her what I had).

They remind me of being a kid in the 80s :)

They were called Charms 'n Things. If you look on Etsy, you can find some vintage MOC ones. I didn't know their proper name as a kid; I always called them bell charms.
