Silly Bandz
A staple of the decade, silly bandz make me feel nostalgic and will always be cool. It was a way as kids to express ourselves through the different colors and shapes.

Heelys
What’s not to lose? Heelys allowed for a stylish, more efficient way to get to and from Point A and Point B.

Webkinz
Not only were they just stuffed animals; Webkinz had their own lives that came with an interactive experience. Each one was special and unique.

Tech Decks
Tech decks are simple to play with and allowed you to play with them no matter where you were. They should come back and be used as a way to challenge yourself and your friends to see who can do what kinds of tricks.

Fruit Ninja
Fruit Ninja is a classic phone game that helps pass time. Easy to play and simple to understand, this is a game anyone can play and has been forgotten about.

One Direction
One Direction infection was real, so imagine the great music they could be making if they were still together or even reunited.

Ellen’s Oscar Selfie
An iconic symbol of the decade, this paved the way and showed the power of Twitter as well as the influence of Ellen DeGeneres.

YOLO
Kind of annoying to say, but something that needs to come back as a daily life reminder. There’s no time like the present!

Cronuts
The craze for cronuts was a big fad, and lines to get them were extensive. Although they were a fad and are still a thing, they are delicious and should make a comeback in the new decade.

Bottle Flipping
Bottle flipping was a fun and exciting thing to do with your friends. It was always about who can flip the bottle in the most creative way possible.
