Did anyone used to collect the tiny balls from empty ink cartridges and put them in their fountain pens so they rattled?! Oh dear...You clearly havent been in my place of work
Are fountain pens still a thing? I remember starting highschool and that's what we had to write in.

Monster Munch that turned your tongue blue
Solero/Calippo Shots
Tammy Girl / La Senza Girl / Tiny Image
Harry Potter Electronic Book of Spells (there was a similar Goosebumps book, too)
Sylvanian Families
TY Beanie Babies when they didn't have the huge eyes... also when McDonald's included mini ones in their Happy Meals. I remember Silver the cat. I also liked the Beanie Boppers.
River Island sold a dark green, sequinned slouch bag which was a trend at secondary school, around 2008/2009. The sequins used to snag my tights.
Girls using a Little Brown Bag / Medium Brown Bag from Bloomingdale's(?) as P.E bags
Crayola Stamps
Those cute little felt animal keyrings from Claire's

- David and Goliath merchandise with this image. Pretty sure most girls in my year had this poster in their room
- Adams kids clothes shop that had the apple logo on a moving projector over a hopscotch and you'd race the apple to finish the hopscotch while your mum was picking out your wardrobe
- Internationale clothes shop
- Mizz had a range of jewellery in Argos. I had the watch which I treasured honestly until I was about 14
- Girl Talk magazine then progressing on to Mizz, Shout and Sugar
- Smash Hits and Top of the Pops magazine with free tat
- Squeezit drinks that tasted suspiciously like plastic and looked phallic
- Safeways having a creche where you could be dumped while your parents did the weekly shop and you could only have one drink while you were there
- Shopping centre creches
- Mars Planets / Delights
- The Kit Kat version of Mars Delights that Girls Aloud promoted
- Taz bars (although they're now Freddo Caramels but still)
- Freddos costing 10p
- Salt and Pepper Walkers Sensations (think about these often)
- Next clothes emblazoned with the Next logo
- Octopus trousers
- Tammy Girl and their pants always on offer. Their sizes were also done by height.
- Kickers with the chunky heel
I could go on all day!
