Do you ever wish you could just time-travel back to the good old days?
Today, it seems like everything is overly complicated, everyone is reliant on technology, and no one ever looks up from their phones. Sure, technology has made everything from shopping (hello, how else are you going to order things from this list?) to getting a ride to the airport much easier; however, I can't help but think how much simpler and easier it must have been decades and decades ago.
And because no one has yet to invent actual time travel (c'mon Tesla, where you at?), there's not really much we can do, other than look down memory lane with a singular nostalgic tear streaming down our faces. Right? Right.
Just kidding. Thanks to the beauty that is the internet, you can own all the retro-inspired household items you want! The best part? Most of these items are under $100! Happy shopping!
