If we're going down this rabbit hole, shoes with lights is pretty far down on the list of child-oriented products that should be made for adults.

Other potential entries include:

  • Clothes with dinosaur/unicorn/etc designs
  • Bouncy castles
  • Bedding and sheets with fun prints
  • ~~Inflatable dinosaur costumes~~ (we figured this one out already)

But you can get most of those things already. Shirts can be ordered with custom prints. You can rent (or buy) a bouncy castle and put it in your backyard. Beddings and sheets I get, because you can probably only find them in twin sizes.

Light-up shoes in adult sizes on the other hand are nearly impossible to find, or are pretty expensive if you find one.

Saw a kids sweater with a fuzzy dinosaur on it recently. Thought it would be amazing as an adult sweater. But of course it would cost $400 if it existed

Clothes with dinosaur/unicorn/etc designs

What do you mean?

[–] smh@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

Snow boots that change color in the cold. I had those as a toddler and they were the coolest things ever.

Bedding and sheets with fun prints

  • Technically there's no one and nothing stopping you from buying Pokemon bedding, for example.

Clothes with dinosaur/unicorn/etc designs

  • Also, cute clothes have been trendy since MLP:FiM at the earliest.

Do they sell Pokémon bedding in king?

[–] DFX4509B_2@lemmy.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

Haven't bothered to look, they sell it in full-sized though.

I've been in a bouncy castle with kids and alone. It sucked and I was very tired.

Maybe if there were some full-size humans bouncing they would bounce me around too instead of me launching kids onto the roof.

There was an art show that had a bouncy castle for adults. I think that's a thing

[–] ButteryMonkey@piefed.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

It is, there used to be a place around me that catered to adults for bouncy inflatable things.

$10 and some mushrooms and it was an amazing time.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I’m very interested in where you are sourcing this list!

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago

I have two children and very few inhibitions.
