●    Super Mario Bros: Mario and Luigi are still popular today, but back in the 1980s, the two of them were revolutionizing video games!  In fact, pretty much anything to do with a Nintendo 64 would have made a pretty prime gift.

●    Jelly Shoes: Okay, this trend has already come full circle.  They had quite the comeback, flying off the shelves of stores like Urban Outfitters a few years ago.  However, they were even more popular back in the ‘80s, and a lot of their popularity today stemmed from nostalgia.  Also notably popular: Jelly bracelets.

The 50th anniversary episode will air at 7.50pm on BBC One and is going to be broadcast as part of a worldwide simulcast in over 75 countries, which is testament to just how popular Doctor Who has become!  An official statement has been revealed outlining what you can expect from the Doctors greatest adventure yet...

"In 2013, something terrible is awakening in London's National Gallery; in 1562, a murderous plot is afoot in Elizabethan England; and somewhere in space an ancient battle reaches its devastating conclusion.  All of reality is at stake as the Doctor's own dangerous past comes back to haunt him."

The episode will pay homage to the show's history with appearances from Tenth Doctor David Tennant and his companion Billie Piper as well as a few other special guests that are being kept under wraps, who else could be returning?  It's all very exciting as the show's boss Steven Moffat has promised that this episode will change the narrative of the show in a big way, we can't wait!

That switch plates are a valid storage choice. Hey, they are not just for hiding poison in, consider using your electrical outlet to store tiny pieces of chewing gum or a rolled up piece of paper with your iPhone passcode written on.

That you can do awesome things with magnets. Who can forget the scene with the truck and the evidence room? That old magnet picking up paperclips trick from Primary School doesn’t seem quite so impressive now, does it? Jesse Pinkman, we salute you!

That WALT IS THE ONE WHO KNOCKS. Delivery guy? Dominos delivery? No – it’s Walter White.
