Here's my list: Pens, toothbrushes, pencils, stickers, notepad paper, stamp, key chains, necklace, bracelet, my name in Thai from Thailand, a little license plate, a street sign, hats, Mickey Mouse ears, a thing from Walt Disney World's Space Mountain ride, a pin and I think that is all so does anyone else remember what they got with their name on it?

I also had one of those books where your parents send in your name, favorite color/food/etc, and they insert the info into the prescripted book a la madlibs. I'm pretty sure I also had a mini-license plate with my name, but I can't remember for certain.

I remember several kids with shirts and belts with their names on them. This lost popularity in the 90s when it was determined that child predators could easily learn the the child's name.

As common of a name I had I don't quite recollect seeing stuff with my name on it all that much. So my parents just got me stuff made embroidered with my name on it. Still have the froggy blanket mom!

KY2VA 2 years 20 days ago Posts: 8	Back in the 80's, I would on occasion get pencils with my name on them. Since my father had his own business, he would order ink pens, sales receipts, and other personalized items from an office supply company. Every now and then that company would "throw in" a few free pencils and that's how I would end up with personalized pencils for school. I can only remember getting a few from 2nd to 4th grade.

pikachulover 2 years 11 days ago Posts: 2932	At school people kept stealing my pencils, so my parents ordered pencils with my first and last name on them. I remember one Christmas one relative gave everybody door nameplates. I know because my cousin has the same one, but it has her name on it. It was hard for me to find things with my name on it because it was so popular. I remember they bought me stickers at the supermarket. During the personalized craze of the 80s there was a store in the local mall that sold that kind of stuff; bags, lunchboxes, shirts, decor, etc. My parents didn't want me to buy shirts and things because they didn't want me to get kidnapped by somebody reading my shirt of backpack. I think they didn't want to buy those overpriced items in that store. One girl in my class had a personalized lunchbox from that store. Years later my aunt went to a swap meet and found me a personalized trash can. It looked just like the ones from that old store in the mall. I use to store my collection of Pokemon toys. The one personalized thing I want, but never got was a necklace charm. Those were so popular when I was in junior high. Although my senior class ring did have my name on it.

I also found some crayons with my name on them. I also have a book with my name in it and stuff too after I read about it on here I just had to look for my book which was given to me by some cousins when I was little.

Goofball 1 year 2 days ago Posts: 101	My name is Jeffrey, which was a rather common boys' name in the '70s, when I was a kid. I had a mock license plate on my bike with the name Jeff on it. I also remember having a bunch of stickers that said "property of Jeff" that I, of course, applied to many of my possessions. I even had a Capt. Kangaroo record titled "Jeffrey". Now that I think of it, I'm going to do some online hunting for it. Not necessarily to buy it, but to confirm that it existed.
