I can't tell you how much joy this video brought me,I have terminal cancer and I remember these advertisements because my son was a new born baby.I pray that I will still be here for Christmas 2019, bet I'm the only person that's excited about Christmas in March !!!
Christmas is what you make it,....not what others do,....I myself enjoy a simple Christmas with all the family,...and regard these special times as precious,....and give me everlasting great memories,.for when I'm not feeling so great.....takecare
I can still remember the time when Boots used to sell EVERYTHING. I used to buy my record tapes, CDs and games in there all the time. Now they only do Pharmacy and Beauty stuff.
When Christmas felt like Christmas. Christmas just isn’t the same these days. Adverts like these even made Christmas. Now everything is so sterile round Christmas.
These ads bring back so many memories both good and bad but always happy! I was a kid growing up in the 90s so xmas was always exciting to me. Brings back great memories of being with my nana too Miss you Nana
Boots was great back in the 90s, they sold everything! Music, TVs, computer games, gardening stuff, crockery… worked there in the late 90s. Great days!
Nicole Powell, From my point of view ( as someone who was born in 2003) it almost feels as if the 1990s in Britain was an extension of the 1980s, the ads certainly make it feel that way anyways.
@@thetiredscot7821 no. imho (I grew up in the 80s) the 90s had already turned "colder" for want of a better word. the 80s were playing scrabble by candlelight when there was a power-cut. People now of course, would be in a serious mess if their phones ran out of charge during a power-cut (power-cuts are thankfully mainly a thing of the past in the UK). But back to my original point, each decade has become colder since the 80s and I'm sure many people would probably say each decade has been colder since the 40s or 50s. Even back in WW2 times there was more warmth than there is now towards each other (only in such times are communities so close as when the species is threatened as a whole). sorry I'm rambling. The 80s was better. You'd have loved it.
Ahh those were the days when you didn't have to go to places like Currys or Argos or Toys R Us for things like Sega Mega Drive or Sega Game Gear or Nintendo Game Boy! You could grab them straight from places like Boots or Woolies!
Alison i know what you mean although I am lucky enough to still have my Dad. Back in the 80s he drank Hemeling light lager,and I found it advertised on one of the 80s Christmas ads on here a,couple weeks ago and showed him the advert. We had both forgotten the Hemeling existed so he said "where did you find that"? his face lit up at being transported to the old days
These make me miss the 90s when i was a kid and waking my Mum up early Christmas morning. Sadly lost my Nan to covid in January Christmas won't be the same.
God this brings back memories adverts were nicer then especially Christmas ones there was one were Thomas the tank engine is coming through a tunnel and it's snowing and hee stops outside a store which is glowing so magical it was can't find it
Great upload - hope they will be on here all year round. 8:07 Those Boots and Children's World adverts look as if they were originally from the ad breaks of Who Framed Roger Rabbit when it was seen on Central for the 1992 premiere.
I've seen some comments on some old videos saying the only thing that changed is that,we,grew,up i don't agree. Christmas can still be magical now, but not many Christmas adverts these days are magical. A few years ago for example M&S had the magic and sparkle fairy adverts. they, imho were magical. Now M&S have tacky adverts where people wearing jumpers are jumping around to horrible loud noise that is apparently called music. (another thing that has,changed since the 80s).
I remember watching all these adverts, I was a teenager at these times, and I got pound store presents, a lot of nothing. My brother however got the expensive toys. I got play jewelry, makeup and bath melts also know as bath pouches with cheap oil in.
where they those ' bath pearls' from boots? they looked like pearls but where shape of dolphins and bears etc?. ..if so i remember they used to sell them in boots and i used to beg my mum for them every year ...i was lucky she did get me them..wish they wud sell them now! ♥️💙
@@freddiemeyer4563 Yeah probably, but all my friends wanted them from the body shop. They were the only ones I knew at the time. I honestly think they are gross 😆

Using an inflation calculator £127 in 1992 is worth £231.37 in today's money. Damn, the Sega Megadrive was expensive for a very primitive 16-bit console.

It's hard trying to explain to a millenial that occasionally while I was growing up there were ads for cream. Not a brand of cream. Just cream in general
Born in the 80's, now in my late 30's, I have definitely seen the end of a peak in society and we are now experiencing a decline. It goes in cycles, and I don't think it's simply a subjective age thing. You can study history and see it repeat itself. The 90's were the calm before the storm
Always amazes these people who say life was so better back then. Do they not realise that its human nature to only try to remember the good times of the past and not the bad. That's why it feels better.
Things are much more accessible to all nowadays. Can't believe some prices! Comet £300 a dishwasher, they cost that now and th Booots ad, 5 quid for a tin of biscuits...??!!
Then utilities, white goods were higher quality but now everything is made to cost less for manufacturing. We can still pay £1,200 or more for a good dishwasher but the quality and durability is not a given anymore so best spend £200-300 or so on something reliable like a Beko with low cost replacement parts.
My parents had a dishwasher that lasted 20+ years from the 1980s that may possible still be running now. It was left behind when they moved house. It never had any faults either. We also had a washing machine that was almost 30 years old.
