Catalog Shopping!

honeychile · #1 10-06-2003, 11:09 PM

Surely I'm not the only person who receives 8.9 catalogs a day, especially as the holiday season starts to loom heavily over the average American checkbook! What I thought might be a good idea is, if you notice something in a catalog that might thrill someone of any GLO, why not share the wealth?

I thought of this while thumbing through Plow & Hearth (1-800-627-1712 or www.plowandhearth.com) and noticing a squirrel on just about every page! Especially cool is the Squirrel ornament which aids in World-Wide Reforestation, something dear to my heart.

Maybe we could all keep an eye out for each other this way!

I just checked out the catalog online. I saw the squirrel ornament, it is so cute and adorable. I am glad that it is helping a beautiful cause.

At Cracker Barrel, they have Battenburg Lace Angel lapel pins and book marks for 99 cents! REALLY neat for a Pi Phi.

Mais oui! Alpha Delta Pi maintains our Gift Mart, so when I see something available there & someplace else, I always support the Gift Mart!

The past few years, a collectable brass ornament has been available to Alpha Delta Pi's, with a new one each year. So far, I think there's been the Crest, Memorial Headquarters, Georgia Wesleyan, and .... I'm drawing a blank! But they are beautiful!

DG's have the Anchor Trader! We also just got a new one with all sorts of new cool things! I circled everything I wanted and left it on the coffee table at my dad's house!!

The new items are not added, but you can see the old ones here:

AOII has The Emporium for our shopping needs.

I love shopping there - when I have the $$! LOL There are high quality items and the ladies are a lot of fun to work with. Sometimes the prices are just a bit (not much) higher than other Greek stores, but I know the money is going to support that which I love so it's worth it to spend a few dollars more!

Two of my sisters & I exchange crescent moon ornaments every Christmas, as we were referred to as "the Luna-ettes" (long story). I'll be sure to let you know when I find this year's batch!

This is the above mentioned squirrel:

"Sales Of These Ornaments Aid In World-Wide Reforestation
These beautiful solid pewter Ornaments, finely detailed front and back, do more than simply look beautiful on your tree. For each one sold, a tree will be planted at a site around the world where reforestation is needed. The Canadian company that casts our heirloom quality ornaments, with satin hanging cords, has exceeded its goal by planting over two million trees."

Cele, I didn't think Gamma Phi had an official store like Anchor Trader, Carnation Collection, etc...I wish we did because those sites are awesome. Whenever I want to buy Gamma Phi stuff I have to order some from one place and some from another and I end up paying $$$ for shipping.

Yeah I'm always liking their stuff and Sorority Specialties. I just wish we had one big store!

Tridelta has Delta Shop which is both online and a mail catalog. However, I have looked at my best friend who is a DG's Anchor Trader and you guys have an amazing selection of DG stuff. Delta Shop doesn't even compare... some of the stuff they sell is so wretched like Tridelta Kleenex! Really who would buy that?

KKG's online shopping is pretty terrific too:

I also think ADPi and AOII have pretty great online shopping. DZ is pretty good too, and of course, DG.

You can find jewelry and clothing for just about every sorority at Nature's Jewelry.... I like the hard-copy catalog best but some stuff is online at www.naturesjewelry.com . It's not official Greek stuff but so many of their items are decorated with the symbols--like pink socks with green turtles, tons of ladybug items, items with angels, crescent moons, lilies of the valley, irises,roses,dolphins, you name it!
