A partial list of the catalogs that came yesterday:
Smithsonian -- Museum replicas, Murano glass, Perry Medina gourd etchings, sophisticated jewelry. And Einstein bobbleheads.
Current -- Christmas kitsch. Cards, calendars, NFL luggage tags and brand name (Campbell's, Nestle, etc.) cookbooks.
Timepieces International -- Designer watches and jewelry. Men's sapphire leather bracelet.
Miles Kimball -- Household gadgets and kitsch. "Personalized" ornaments (including for the newly dearly departed), fudge, caramels and candy not likely found in stores.
Toscano -- (My favorite.) Original and replica statuary. Lions and bears and alligators in resin. Hand carved, solid wood furniture. Thrones, both medieval European and ancient Egyptian. A giant Easter Island head. Life-size suits of armor, gargoyles and the Holy Grail.
NFL Shop -- If a football logo can fit on it, it's in here.
Hammacher Schlemmer -- High-end personal and household gadgets and toys for people with way too much money. Specifically the sleek ultra-modern Swiss music "box" with resin-lined brass cylinder, maple inlaid mahogany base on brushed nickel with the carbon fiber "sail" cover. $23,500.00. Not sure if that includes delivery. Also the robotic chess opponent and the several types of child-size working vehicles.
Pyramid Collection -- Steampunk, New Agey and Vampire clothing mostly for women. "Goddess" sizes available. Also a few sex toys.
A pretty typical haul for this time of year.
