I am very excited to introduce my 80s nostalgia blog 80s Kids UK. I will regularly be sharing loads of nostalgia and memories from this fabulous decade. The content you will find is predominately aimed at Gen X or older millennials who would have been growing up in the 80s. There is even an 80s shop where you will find original 80s items to own. You can also follow 80s Kids UK on Instagram and Facebook.
