I know, sounds like a band, huh?
My discussion is about catalogs. I get a million of them. I order something once and I hear from them forever after. I bought one Betty Boop item from the Danbury Mint for my son in law for Christmas one year. Now I have solicitations through snail mail to buy a whole set of Betty Boop Christmas ornaments. Nah, I'm not getting those for him. He can Boop himself this year.
I have here a Harriet Carter catalog, and I don't buy often from these, but I adore them. There are so many gadgets and doohickeys! And stuff I would never have thought of but suddenly think I must need. l think the Sharper Image is the king of stuff, though. Nobody can afford it, but the catalogs keep coming, that's for sure.
Do you get a lot of catalogs, which are your favorites? Do you order from them a lot?

LOL, yes I know. He and my daughter love old cartoons, they love old radio shows, all kinds of various things from the past

Every once in awhile they say "This is Your LAST Catalog!" but I'm not sure that's ever true.

Years ago I ordered from oriental trading and for about 10 years I got their catalogs. I finally called and asked them to stop sending me them. I got others randomly and I always call and have them remove me. I don't want them wasting postage or trees by sending them to me.

Isn't that Weird? We don't need it until we see it.
