It’s our 30th birthday this year (yes, we realise you may have heard) and we’re a tiny bit caught up in all things 1989…

So with Black Friday and Cyber Monday all over us like a dense bargain-filled fog of purchasing pressure, we wondered what gifts the Idealogy team would choose if today was a more sedate yet garish 1989. Argos Catalogue Autumn/Winter 1989 to the rescue…

Mr D

“Swan DeLuxe. For lazy pillocks who couldn't get up in the morning - like me!”

Daz

Multi CD player, shit loads of lights and dials – and only 450 quid!

Sean

“Video Driver! How did it work? No seriously, in 1989 how did it work!?”

Charlie

Sony Radio Cassette. For recording Sunday night's Top 40!!

Leon

1989 me would have wanted a Tomy, probably now me as well to be honest.

Gibbo

A nice new cassette storage facility to store all my top 40 Tommy Vance recordings.

James

'Cos I just love Polaroid!

Shelley

“Yamaha PSS 780. Reckon I could still play the EastEnders theme.”

Chop

Who knew you could buy a BAFTA from Argos?

Katie

Look!
It’s my happy place!

Emma

Anything Disney works for me any year!

The real Chop

I always wanted to be a makeup artist, but somehow ended up in operations.
