everyone has nostalgic games and whatnot, but what are some nostalgic decorations for you? Like picture frames, paintings, Knick knacks and so on?

Mine is this specific cat painting that used to hang in the pediatric waiting room at my doctors office, it was from the 90's I'm sure and everytime I came to the doctor I would stare at it in joy at all the cats on the tree.

The Last time I was ever there they'd remodeled the place and I never got to see it again...

In the 90s in Germany so called 'Window Colors' were extremely popular.
I actually don't know if they were a thing internationally.
Basically it was DIY window decorations and the colours were transparent.

You would paint them with these bottles on a foil and then stick that onto the glass of the window. Making them was part of a fun and it was marketed as an activity you can do with your kids. So most designs were accordingly cheesy and colourful.

They were hot for like 5 years and everyone got them and then suddenly they fell out of fashion and you stopped seeing them. I remember when I was 5 and it was the 31st of December 1999 and my sister and me made these big "2000" numbers in window colors in celebration of the new millennium. I thought it was a cool idea to mix several colours together but just ended up with a brown sludge while my sister's was actually pretty.

Were they a thing in your country?

80s doors really do it for me. So much so that I am in the process of hunting one down to install on my own house. We intend on painting ours but the plywood/veneer look is more accurate to my memory. I don't know if these are really decorations, but close enough i guess. Here are some fine specimens.

A small blue and yellow football that me and my older brother used to play with when i was little, he got older and so did i, so that ball sits on a table next to my turntable as a decoration that makes me remember and think about the good old days when the only problem in my life was being scared to brick the wii while messing with homebrew next to my brother.
