Scrunchies might be the scapegoat of '90s beauty trends (exhibit A: The infamous scrunchie episode of "Sex and the City" -- fans will know what we mean). True, when a woman is wearing a scrunchie, it's safe to assume she's either getting ready for bed or still pines for those high school cheerleading days. Still you've got to admit, they're a reasonably comfortable, functional alternative to hair-ties (no ponytail crease!). Sorry, Carrie Bradshaw.

The 1997 birthday-party circuit was paved with travel-size Bath & Body Works lotions, shower gels and body sprays. The only question was: Were you a Freesia gal or a Sun-Ripened Raspberry Gal? Or maybe you preferred Cucumber Melon or were hard-core in favor of Juniper Breeze. (Because nobody really liked Country Apple, right?).

Once you stocked up on items No. 2 through 25, you needed somewhere to stash your beauty loot. The ideal spot? A plastic container in the salmon-teal-purple color scheme that dominated the decade.
