I know this is not Christmassy...but I love, love love, "In The Company of Dogs". I circled several t-shirts and sent the pages to my son, he bought all of them for me!!! He's the best!!

None now, but when I was a child one of the happiest days was when the Sears wishbook arrived. My sister and I had to share. I would mark up what I wanted and my sister wanted so many things that I told her it would be easier to mark what she didn't want..lol

I like Signals and Uncommon Goods. Also Plow and Hearth. All of those are online web sites too. Some of the t-shirts/sweatshirts in Signals are hilarious. One of my favorites that I wear all the time says: In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

Don't forget the Montgomery Wards Christmas wish book also.

L.L. Bean Christmas Catalog is the best...My most humble opinion

41 years ago it was Playboy, then Dorothy Stratten was murdered by her boyfriend. What a Major Dick he was, Christmas mags were never the same since then…

Owner leaves L.L.Bean and Vermont Country Store within reach. I get to see their catalogs - although my tongue usually messes them up. But they come often enough that doesn't matter.
Too bad either of these doesn't have much for the Equestrian set. But I like seeing the things that Owner speaks of, and he never affords for himself.

I'm a lot younger than most around here but I remember leafing through the Wishbook to build a Christmas list myself.

Came today - an AMAZON Christmas Catalog.
Basically the equivalent of the Sears Christmas Catalog - except everything is plastic, and made in China.
Lots of space around the pictures of toys for substitution of Chinese characters/descriptions. So I assume this is a "world catalog" with the only changes being those for better targeting the target consumers.

Ya made me look--what a terrific catalog! The Canadian prices threw me for a second, though.
Can I have the Veritas miniature tool set? Pretty please? I've been really really good this year . . .

I used to get the swiss colony, o' course, until they finally understood that the "dairy" in my business addie was like coz I was a dairy and do my own sweets and really did mean it when I asked to be taken off mailing list...
Also liked the plow and hearth, and country door, as well as the bits and pieces, signals, Vermont country store, and the Victorian trading company, which was over priced junk, but it was VICTORIAN junk, so I liked the purty pictures.
There was another one that had victorian and almost gothic styled jewelry and apparel that I liked, but I can't recall the name...

Vermont country store, signals and used to like the Sharper Image catalog also. The Neimann Marcus one was just interesting to look at one year.

I used to give me kids a JCPenney and a Sears catalogue and then give them each a different color marker to circle their dream items.
My favorite was the old Neiman Marcus ones where they had such imaginative and often romantic presentations for their glitzy offerings.
I do like the Balsam Hill catalogue for looking at decor.

Yup, as a kid in the 50s the Sears and Montgomery Wards catalogues were my dream books.... It was always a treasured day when they arrived in the mail.
I was fortunate in that my father was a Foreman at the local paper mill who made good money and I usually got what I had picked out from those catalogues for Christmas.
