It’s time to go back in time to the year 1985.

Our prime minister is Bob Hawke, everybody is talking about Queen’s performance at Live Aid, and the number one song of the year is George Michael’s Careless Whisper (Billboard’s 1985 Year-End Chart of Pop Singles).

You head to Kmart (AKA the “place for saving”) to purchase your Christmas gifts after flicking through their December catalogue, which includes mesh handbags, cabbage patch dolls, watches and haircare gift sets.

Fast forward to 2021 and a nostalgic shopper has managed to get his hands on this catalogue and uploaded it to the Old Shops Australia Facebook group.
