For a limited time, our fully restored manual focus Polaroid SX-70 cameras are 20% off. If you've ever wondered how instant film photographers get such crisp photos, chances are they are using one of these SLR models from the 1970s. They were incredible back then, and we have proudly been restoring them to their former glory for over 10 years. Such an iconic piece of history and still fully usable today. No code needed, discount auto-applies in cart.

Windows XP turned 25 on October 25! 💻

Released on October 25, 2001, Windows XP gave us one of the most recognizable desktop wallpapers of all time, Bliss, featuring a suspiciously green hillside and blue sky that seemed to promise some kind of utopian future or something.

And then, of course, there was the important business of choosing your user account picture. Rubber duck? Soccer ball? A surprisingly consequential decision when the whole fam shared one computer.

Which one was yours?

Pikachu has been getting his bag since 1999 💰

This 1999 New Yorker cover by illustrator Harry Bliss titled Treats of the Trade is a pretty funny commentary on the Pokémon craze that was sweeping the country. Pokémon had only arrived in the U.S. the year before, and its first theatrical movie was just days away.

And let's be real the Pokémon craze never really went away ⚡️

What I wouldn't give to stroll through a Toys "R" Us in 2000 with $100 in my pocket and absolutely no responsibilities. 🥲

What's everyone thinking for a date on these pics? Mario Party 2 is making us think 2000 but maybe there are other clues.
