The guys over at Carphone Warehouse have produced a really interesting graphic that charts the evolution of popular Christmas presents over the past 30 years.
How old were you in 1984? What did you want for Christmas?
How old were you in 2004? Did you want Nintendo DS?
What would you like this year? Are they on the money?
Apart from anything else it’s a nice trip down memory lane for those of us old enough to remember 1984 :)

Fitness fanatics of all genders bought Walkmans by the boatload in 1984. The Leappad was a great gift for any child 4 – 8 in 2004, and was never a good gift for a 10 year old (WTF??) And I don’t have the stats in front of me but I think that Nintendo’s gender balanced dev and marketing strategy was in place 10 years ago. Their current sales demographics certainly reflect that.
