For those of you who ordered your BSC books from the (troll or scholastic?) book order at school, do you remember the little prizes they sometimes offered with books in the 90's?
The main ones I remember from BSC and LS are:
sparkly hair clips, a black cat eraser, and stretchy bracelets (these came with European vacation!). Plus, Karen's joke pack came with a bunch of cheap junk, plus an ice cube with a fly in it that was awesome.

My subscription had ended by the time EV came out. I think with the new covers they restarted the club.
I got buttons, a BSC logo comb, and notepads.

I got three silver rings with "European Vacation," but I bought mine in a bookstore.

Oh, yeah, I think I remember those. Did they say "best friends" on them?

The bracelets mine came with were made of something like a piece of metal spring. They were stretchy, and I think there was a matching ring.

I still have my childhood sticker album (wow, I really need to stop being a packrat), and in it there are two stickers that I'm 99% sure are Boo Boo and Shannon (the dog). I think they might have been some of the included trinkets. Unfortunately, my sister was technically the one with the subscription (I would read the books after her), so I think she got to keep almost everything else.

I remember the silver BSC necklace on a black cord (I think it came with Babysitters Remember.) I got the rings from European Vacation, too.

I just remembered, with Karen's Book, I also got a locket shaped like a book.

Oh, I could have sworn one of my rings just said "best" on it, but BSC/Friends/Forever does sound right actually.
PET STICKERS?? I would have loved that so much. Also the book-shaped locket.

I remember getting stickers with one of the calendars, but that's about it.  |
