The must-have Christmas toys of yesterday are selling for thousands today, including the biggest craze of them all – Pokémon, writes Charles Hanson
From Meccano to Cabbage Patch Dolls, your age will determine the gift you most longed to unwrap under the Christmas tree.
Decades later, many of same toys have become collectors’ items worth thousands of pounds. Today the toy and collectables marker it is a £1 billion industry.
And there’s one word that explains it. Nostalgia. If you grew up in the seventies, eighties or nineties you now have money to spend.
So if Father Christmas didn’t get bring you the Action Man everyone else was playing with, then today you can buy it for yourself.
One of the most famous examples is the Star Wars action figures released by Kenner in the late 1970s.
Once sold for just a few pounds, rare figures such as the 1978 Vinyl Cape Jawa or the rocket-firing Boba Fett prototype can now fetch more than £10,000 at auction. In 1982 it was the Cabbage Patch Doll that caused near riots in British department stores during Christmas 1983. Today, mint-condition originals with their birth certificates can command £500–£2,000, especially the earliest hand-stitched versions.
Polly Pocket compacts from Bluebird Toys are currently selling for almost £8,000, with other compact toy sets going for over £1,000. But it was the 1990s that brought the biggest craze of them all – Pokémania.
While most virtual pets ended up discarded after their “deaths,” early Pokémon cards—especially a 1999 First Edition Charizard—have become investment pieces, sometimes selling for tens of thousands of pounds. And here’s something you may not know.
Next February 27 is Pokémon Day and 2026 will mark 30 years since release of the original Pokémon Red and Green games in Japan in 1996. In collecting terms it doesn’t get much bigger, with the anniversary sure to spark even more interest in the craze.
As well as appealing to cash-rich Millennials keen to
reconnect with their youth, there’s a new generation of YouTubers sharing videos of them unboxing Pokémon cards on the platform.
The most expensive Pokémon card ever sold was the Pikachu Illustrator card that was PSA grade 10, the highest achievable condition. It was snapped up by YouTuber Logan Paul for an eye watering £3,862,424 in 2021.
If you have grown-up children in their 20s it might be worth checking their old bedrooms to make sure there aren’t any forgotten treasures from childhood tucked away in the wardrobe or under the bed. You never know, you just might be sitting on an auction windfall.
To mark the 30th anniversary Hansons Auctioneers will stage a special Pokémon auction at its Derby HQ on February 27. If you have anything to consign email our collectable toys expert David Wilson-Turner know, dwilsonturner@hansonsauctioneers.co.uk

KEEP HAPPY & HEALTHY WITH PILATES THIS WINTER
Dark nights can trigger a feeling of “hibernation” in humans due to shorter days and less sunlight. It’s important to keep active, regular physical activity can boost your mood and energy levels. Even a simple walk can make a difference. Find engaging indoor hobbies such as joining a Pilates class. Group classes offer a sense of community and can reduce feelings of loneliness that may arise during winter months. Pilates is beneficial for winter health because it combats stiffness by increasing flexibility and strength, boosts the immune system through improved circulation, and improves mood by releasing endorphins. The focus on a strong core also helps with posture, balance, and injury prevention, which is especially helpful for winter activities.
Pilates can help to make your lymphatic and respiratory systems more efficient. Which is crucial for a strong immune system.
Stress and anxiety can weaken the immune system. Pilates is great for calming our nervous systems and relieving stress. Exercise helps to distract the brain from daily worries and stress. Pilates also helps to increase energy levels and aid sleep, to allow you to function better with the demands of your day-to-day life. By eliminating the stress and anxiety, Pilates is working to keep you healthy.
Another way that the system is boosted through Pilates is that when we do Pilates exercises our brains produce more chemicals that are vital to our well-being, such as serotonin and endorphins. This not only adds to our feeling of well-being, but it actually boosts the immune system, by ensuring that our brains are functioning properly, releasing the right amounts of chemicals that it is supposed to release.
How Pilates boosts our immune system
Pilates breathing can help boost overall health. You must create space for the ribs to expand, by standing or sitting tall and then breathe wide and deep into your back and sides, maximizing lung capacity. Try to breathe in through your nose and keep your shoulders relaxed. Breathe in for up to a count of five and out fully for up to a count of five.
When the muscles are stretched, circulation improves. This, combined with the deep breathing associated with Pilates exercise, brings more oxygen to our muscles, creating healthier cells throughout our bodies.
So, the next time you finish your Pilates exercise class, you can walk away knowing that you not only made your muscles stronger, and balanced your mind and your body, but you’ve also boosted your immune system, which will work to keep you healthy as well.

Why the Best Part of Your Holiday Might Be Before You Go
Discover the psychology of “anticipatory joy” and how to keep your getaway feeling magical from start to finish. We all know that buzz when booking a holiday – the giddy excitement as you picture sun-drenched beaches, bustling city streets, or peaceful mountain hideaways. Psychologists call this anticipatory joy: the boost of happiness you get simply from looking forward to a trip. In fact, research shows that the build-up to a holiday can sometimes bring more joy than the holiday itself. Why? Enter the “hedonic treadmill.” It sounds complicated, but really, it’s just how our brains work. That sparkling pool, the magical sunset, or the café that felt so special on day one. By day three, your brain starts to see it as normal. Before long, two weeks of paradise can begin to feel… well, a little routine.
3. Set mini goals
Give your holiday purpose beyond relaxation. Learn a few phrases of the local language, hike a new trail, or master a regional recipe. Small wins add excitement and a sense of achievement.
4. Mix routine with spontaneity
Sure, routines make travel smooth but leave space for surprises. An unplanned day trip or a chance encounter can make even familiar places feel brand new.
5. Reflect and savour
Take a moment each evening to talk about highlights, jot a note in a journal, or capture photos that show the feeling, not just the view. Reflection locks in happiness and extends the joy long after you are home.
But here’s the good news: the hedonic treadmill isn’t the enemy. It’s simply a reminder to be intentional about how we experience our time away. With a few smart tricks, you can keep that holiday feeling fresh from start to finish.
1. Keep it fresh
Variety is the spice of travel. Explore a new neighbourhood, try a local dish you can’t pronounce, or take a spontaneous detour. Novelty wakes up the brain and helps moments stand out.
2. Be present
You don’t need a yoga mat to practice mindfulness. Notice the scent of the sea, the rhythm of a market, or the warmth of the sun on your skin. Immersing yourself in the small details slows time down and makes memories sharper.
And here’s the ultimate secret: keep looking forward. Having another trip on the horizon – whether it’s a weekend away or a dream adventure – keeps your brain in that happy anticipatory state.
Because the joy of travel isn’t just in the flights, the beaches, or the cocktails. It’s in the anticipation, the experiences you create, and the stories you bring home. Outsmart the treadmill, and every holiday can feel like the first.

Mindset Advice ANXIETY: THE POINTLESS EMOTION
Let me start with a simple definition: anxiety is largely a feeling of worry or dread about something in the future that hasn’t happened yet.
And here’s the fascinating thing – anxiety is the ONLY negative emotion we can feel about the future. To explain; you can’t be angry about the future, because it hasn’t happened yet. You can’t be sad about the future... You can only be anxious about it, which is essentially worrying that something bad might happen.
The Key Word? “Might”
Because anxiety is about the future, it means these things may not actually happen. And this is where it gets really interesting.
A large meta-study on people who had experienced anxiety in their lives showed that up to 95% of the things people had worried about in their lives did not happen.
So we can say now with a high degree of probability that anxiety is fairly pointless! We’re worrying about things that 90% of the time simply don’t come true.
calm your nervous system in moments. You can repeat this cycle for 5-10 minutes a day.
Regular meditation – Even 10 minutes daily rewires your brain through over time, literally changing your brain structure to be less anxious. Prioritise sleep – Poor sleep amplifies anxiety exponentially. Aim for 7-8 hours per night with a fairly consistent routine.
Christmas Time…Peak Anxiety Season
This time of year is particularly notorious for anxiety. We worry about relatives getting on (or not), about the dinner being perfect, about money, about whether people will like their gifts, about potential arguments and all manner of other festive dramas.
But here’s the truth: there is a 95% chance that we can afford to just relax. Remember that statistic!
What You CAN Do
Whilst cognitively understanding that anxiety is fairly pointless is helpful, there are practical steps you can take to manage it on a daily basis: Breathing techniques – Simple box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4) can
Eat a healthy diet – Your gut and brain are intimately connected. Nourish one, you nourish the other. Cutting processed rubbish is a good start.
Monitor alcohol intake – Whilst a drink might feel like it helps in the moment, alcohol disrupts sleep and increases anxiety the following day. It also reduces serotonin levels so is really best avoided if you are feeling a bit of festive anxiety creeping in.
All of these strategies work on improving your general wellbeing, which in turn reduces anxiety. Many also have an neuroplastic benefit, so improves your brain structure over tine. You are literally building a less anxious brain.
The Bottom Line
This Christmas, when you feel that familiar flutter of worry, remember that there is a 95% chance it won’t happen. So take a breath, trust the process, and focus on what you CAN control – your responses, your health behaviours, and your mindset.
Anxiety is fairly pointless indeed!
THE EPIGENETICS OF AGING
SouLogic — Skin Health Decoded. Self-Care Upgraded.
Aging is inevitable — but how we age isn’t set in stone. Every choice we make — what we eat, how we move, how we rest — sends signals to our genes, shaping the story our skin tells and how our age appears on the surface. Think of your genes as light switches: daily habits determine which ones flick on and which stay off. Add somatic awareness — the body’s ability to hold or release stress — and it becomes clear how much influence we have over our own skin story. Biology is clear: daily rituals matter more than we’ve ever been led to believe. Let’s take a closer look at aging.
Fine lines, loss of firmness, uneven tone — these visible shifts aren’t dictated by DNA alone. Environment and lifestyle shape them just as powerfully. Sun exposure, pollution, diet, and emotional patterns leave their imprint on skin, either accelerating or slowing the signs of time. Chronic stress, poor sleep, inflammation, and unprocessed emotions act like fuel for cellular wear and tear. In contrast, small daily rituals can “switch on” repair genes, calm the nervous system, and keep skin luminous, resilient, and youthful longer.
“Visible change takes three skin cycles — about three months — to appear on the surface.”
Skin renews itself every 28–30 days. The moment you commit to the right rituals, you begin rewriting the instructions your cells receive. But only after three full cycles does the transformation become visible — when the deeper work finally reveals its rewards.
Home Care Habits That Count

n Eat for longevity: Antioxidants, healthy fats, and fibre fuel the microbiome and cool inflammation.
n Move stress out: Walking, stretching, yoga, swimming, or dancing — rhythm is medicine for cortisol, the body’s aging accelerator.
n Hydrate with minerals: Coconut water, herbal teas, and bone broth feed skin cells more than plain water ever could.
n Emotional release: Journaling, meditation, or breathwork clear somatic stress before it etches into skin.
n Nature as medicine: Morning light, fresh air, and time outdoors reset rhythm, oxygenate, and lift mood — even short moments outside recalibrate the nervous system, supporting skin repair from the inside out.
THE CARDINAL SINS
n Chronic under sleeping: Nothing ages cells faster — it hijacks repair and robs collagen overnight.
n High-sugar, ultra-processed diets: They flip inflammation “on” and unravel collagen at the seams.
n Bottled-up stress: What isn’t released emotionally shows up physically, written across skin.
n Living indoors 24/7: Starving the body of light, air, and movement slows repair to a crawl.

supporting good causes.

EAST CHESHIRE HOSPICE CHRISTMAS TREE COLLECTION SERVICE
Capitalises on the fact that a lot of people enjoy a natural tree which they buy wrapped in netting but then find its disposal to be less easy. The Collection offers a solution to avoiding getting pine resin and needles in your car, while not everyone has a green bin or wants to spend time and effort of cutting up the tree to put in the green bin. Furthermore a real Christmas tree from a sustainable source is known to be the eco-friendly alternative to a plastic version. The Christmas Tree Collection recycles all the
trees it collects so enhancing the environmental credentials of buying a real tree!
We are very grateful to have a partnership with Ansa Environmental Services Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cheshire East Council, who are involved in the recycling operation. They turn our trees into a mulch which is either composted to make a soil improver for the benefit of Cheshire, or for use in biomass boilers.

RECYCLING FURNITURE Community news
My name’s Andrew Davis. For the last 53 years I’ve been recycling furniture and now run the Wilmslow and District Furniture Recycling Centre from the old scout hut on Lacey Green, Wilmslow. During this time I’ve had the honour and privilege of leading a group of working-class volunteers to do some amazing community work, thanks to the generous donations of furniture from people like you that have enabled us to rehouse hundreds of families, help thousands of people, send aid overseas and divert unwanted goods from landfill sites. Our furniture storeroom gradually doubled up as a charity shop; serving refreshments gave us a community café; and running all three together very informally give us a new type of three-inone community centre. It was this combination, with a special emphasis on informality, which gave us the answer to knife crime and anti-social behaviour.
Thanks to the informal way we work with our volunteers, they’ve shown us that there’s an answer through skilfully applied informal techniques which give young people the opportunity to talk freely and exchange their thoughts and feelings. But the key to the whole process is that it’s now under the guidance of a professional group worker acting as a consultant rather than an authority figure such as a teacher or parent, who is often seen as part of the problem, partly explaining why the Establishment hates ‘woke’, i.e. awarenessraising. However, woke allows young people to solve problems themselves while co-operating with others.
As I’m now 86 I’ve been thinking about the future of the charity, so would like to appeal to local people for this new kind of work to become properly recognised and to go nationwide. Having just done a bit of stocktaking, to our amazement we discovered an answer to knife crime (53 teenagers killed in the last 10 years, and a shocking 50,500 knife crimes last year). Our discoveries also include an answer to ADHD, school exclusion, online bullying, teenage vandalism and anti-social behaviour.
So I’m writing in SK magazine to invite you to share our vision – we’re desperately need interested people to help start up a support group or think-tank to fully explore how to promote this much-needed new kind of work with this much-needed new kind of thinking, so that together we can more fully understand and prepare for our newly emerging, fastchanging future. This ‘new way’ could grow into a nationwide charity like Shelter, for example.
An ‘out with the old and in with the new’ sort of thing, which, let’s face it, is so desperately needed today. Hopefully some of you might ring me to meet up and talk? Who knows where it could all lead?
To help us develop we invite donations. TEL 07968 756655

CHRISTMAS INTERIORS WITH STYLE
At Christmas time you can go with many looks for your interiors. There’s the vintage glamour if you’re lucky enough to have sourced or been handed down those deliciously opulent old baubles. These look gorgeous on a real tree with it’s fresh fir aroma reminiscent of the nostalgia of our childhood – yup, giving my age away there, pass me the Babycham. The Scandi vibe has lots of natural elements of wood with reds and whites. Images of birds, elks with soft fabrics for the sofa, make this an out of character (for the Scandi style) maximalist delight. Branches with red berries popped into a white jug on the windowsill, wreaths hung anywhere with patterned red ribbon complete the feast for the eyes.. pass me the Schnapps. Here I have images showing a beautifully layered neutral, elegant and slightly minimalist style that many of my clients have been opting for on my Christmas design and install rounds.
It ties in so well with our love for neutral interiors, looking cosy and inviting. The look is soft, not intrusive, well considered minimalism (considering it is Christmas!). The kids shouldn’t find it too easy to trip over the tree or pull the garland down whilst still holding all the energy that this season brings.. pass me the Baileys!
Whatever style you choose, and there are many more including the ‘throw everything at it’ train of thought, lean into the traditions and hopefully you’ll have a bit of time off to enjoy it. For tips and tricks, follow
me on Instagram. If you’d love me to help you, please do get in touch. Sharon.
