HEARTS:
I loved and collected various items with hearts on them, mainly stickers. I particularly liked the rainbow hearts stickers. (More on stickers to come.) Not sure what else I had with hearts on it, perhaps notebooks for school.
HOLLY HOBBIE:
This was one of my favorite toy lines as a child. I had the rag doll as well as the purse with the doll in the front pocket, and the previously mentioned Colorfoms set. I may have had some stickers, too. Not sure what else I had of her, but I did like this character a lot.
One person from school confused Holly Hobbie with another similar character Betsey Clark. I think I may have had some stickers of Betsey Clark, but don't think I had any toys. In fact, I was not aware of any Betsey Clark dolls at that time. But after searching, I discovered they did make them. I liked Betsey Clark, too, even if I didn't have a lot of her merchandise.
HELLO KITTY:
Another character I liked a lot was Hello Kitty and other characters made by Sanrio. A Sanrio store at a nearby mall as one of my favorite places to go to. Hello, Kitty, My melody and Little Twin Stars were most collected Sanrio characters.
Among the things I can remember, I had a Hello Kitty pencil case that looked something like this:
And the previously mentioned My Melody autograph album:
Not sure what I had with Little Twin Stars, but I know I liked them, too:
These were the Sanrio characters I remember the most.
HAIR AND HAIR PRODUCTS:
No doubt you've seen photos like these on Facebook in recent years:
I was never one to wear my hair this way. At one point, I had a fear of getting laughed at for trying to be like others. Also, this just wasn't my style (no pun intended).
And freaky hairstyles are often associated with heavy-metal bands, known as
Hairspray was everywhere, though I was not a big user.
These are some of the hairspray bands that were big back then.
And there was also gel and coloring for hair, things I avoided. Never saw the need for them. But I still remember seeing these things in ads.
And numerous celebrities promoted different shampoos on TV. I remember most of these, even if I never used some of them.
Faberge organic shampoo had this famous ad:
I somehow got creeped out by this commercial:
Many had at least one of these items.I'm not sure which I these I had then, but I certainly did not have that huge case. I currently have a Scrunchie or two--newer ones, but cannot recall having them then. I'm pretty sure I had the hair pick, though 🙂

Love those rainbow hearts! I was never a big user of hairspray or hair products either.
Hello kitty was the best! I had the pencil case which I loved. It had so many compartments to put erasers in etc. They had make -up too like lip gloss and blush but I never had any. I missed out on holly hobbie though
These brought back so many memories of when my daughter was growing up,particularly the stickers, Holly Hobbie and Hello Kitty:)
Visiting from the A to Z challenge. I read your post earlier today and I really enjoyed it. My sister had Holly Hobbie Walpaper in her room and after I graduated in college she was in our older sister's old room and I stayed in her room for the summer before I moved away and it still had the Holly Hobby wallpaper. She also had Holly Hobby bed sheets which I think are still around somewhere.
Those hair styles creep me out. They kind of seem like fire hazards, :)
So many things I remember from your list of H things. I probably had, or my kids had some of all of these things. Fun to look back at it all. :0
