I am looking for a 1950's dice game called "Skunk" for my husband's grandmother. It's the only thing I know she wants... she was complaining last year that she couldn't find it at the store to buy one.

I googled it, and it looks like it is available on amazon.com.

I just posted and thread and then noticed this. What a great idea! My hard to find gift is a Zebra Snuggie. I had ordered it on 12/10 and just received a notice last night that they cancelled my order and refunded my money because they are out of stock.

I would love any help.

I just came home from Wegman's. They had 3 zebra snuggies. I could not remember where you lived. I dont think if I went back and bought that it would have time to get to you by Christmas. Let me know what you think.

I'm pretty sure my DH's grandma is thinking about this: http://www.amazon.com/Skunk-Dice-Ga...ie=UTF8&s=miscellaneous&qid=1261356878&sr=8-5

It is a dice game called "Skunk" that has chips and some type of score sheet with it. I don't want to spend $40

Hopefully you can find a more reasonably-priced version.

Have you tried ebay?

Here are a few:

I'm looking for a Simon game from the 80's. My kids would love to play with one, since I've always told them it was the coolest thing at the time...

In my opinion, Merlin from Parker Brothers (1978) beats out Simon. I still have my original from the 70's with the box and manual. I remember getting it for my birthday (7 or 8yo) and thinking I was the coolest kid around for having it!
