I just miss the old days when months before Christmas I would get tons of catalogs in the mail! This year I might have received 2 or 3 if that. I so enjoyed browsing through them and I always got so many great ideas for gifts --- things I never would have thought about or even heard of! I know with the trend now being shopping on-line that this has caused the decline for catalogs but boy, I sure do miss them. For me, it was part of the Christmas fun! Anyone else miss them? Just having another senior moment I guess. LOL!!

Like you, I used to get so many catalogs, my mailman complained! Now, not so many,

@AngelPuppy1 There are still lots of businesses that send catalogues. I get lots all year.
On you favorite retailer websites do a search like "request catalogue" or sometimes the "contact us" area works.
Some categories I receive are clothing, gardening, home decor.
You can also do a general search for free catalogues and find sites with categorized lists to request those you want.
Happy searching.

Yes, mine, too! I'm sure he is happy that it doesn't happen any more! Happy New Year to you, as well!

I do order from a few places and I thought that once you got on a few mailing lists that they were passed around. Evidently this isn't true. Thanks!

OMG - they were all sent to MY zip code. Tuesday of the week was huge - 6 - 8 catalogs - then 2 - 3 every other day. I did buy from L L Bean so guess they 'shared' my name with every other cat company. Buy one blouse and you'll get mail!

I guess that's true. But I was telling DH that it is so nice before Christmas to get these "wish books" or "inspiration books." A lot of times in the past I would have no ideas and then when I got catalogs I would say --- oh, yeah --- this would be a great gift for so an so. It's hard at times to go on-line when you have no idea what to get.
