Thanks for few new ones and some I forgot about!

tiffany's...
one must dream big

Co-sign on the Tiffany. When ours arrives, it always ends up prominently placed on my husband's desk with a few pages dog-eared ;)

Also, Swiss Colony. Most of our friends and business associates get something from them - petits fours, or cheese and sausage for those on the Atkins diet.

Funny thing with SC, though - One year, we decided not to place an order with them. The next year, we got a catalog from them with a special offer because we were "one of [their] most valued customers." I guess their business has really dropped off with the recession and all.......

With the mermaid suit, it says "creating an extremely realistic blend of female and fish", but what if a man wanted to buy it for himself???
These days you just never know... :p

Or because their plant is located in a place to create a stupid intersection in Platteville and they attack people at job fairs saying "Want to work at our headquarters in MONROE?" No, we def. don't. ;)

I'm a big fan of Tiffany's for pleasure and J.Crew for stuff I'll actually get.

For the kids--the Young Explorers catalog!

All you older GCers--remember the thrill when the Sears Christmas toy catalog would come?

VICTORIA'S SECRET CATALOG!!!!! I also have always loved the L.L. Bean catalog since I've been looking at it since I can remember!!

Ahhhh, The Wishbook!

DITTO! I loved that thing! :D

I don't have a favorite in particular, but I saw one from the National Wildlife Federation organization when I was waiting to get my hair cut and colored. They had some really gorgeous items that featured wolves, squirrels, bears, birds and rabbits. The website for the organization is: www.nwf.org

AND it's for a good cause, yay! Just like www.theanimalrescuesite.com -- they have some cute, cute stuff on there and part of the proceeds goes to animal welfare.
