Gender-specific toys.

It was true when I was a child in the 50s and it's still true today. Boys get toys like trucks and trains and footballs and tools and basketball hoops and fishing poles and girls get toys like vacuum cleaners and ironing boards and stoves and sinks and brooms and mops and dolls.

1. I actually had a variety of toys

My sister and I often used it all to create our own stories, ones that we thought that we'd make a tv show or movie about if we could with everything. The objects were props. The dolls and action figures were characters who didn't always play their stereotypical part.
I think that it is now becoming more culturually acceptable for girls to have a greater variety of toys than boys, who are put down by having girl toys like dolls.
