Wow. I thought I got a lot of catalogs! You win!

My husband can't complain because he gets as many catalogs as I do.

I remember the gigantic annual catalogs from Penney's and Sears. They were about 3 inches thick! I'd keep them all year until the next one came - and I'd refer to them often. Plus they had other uses -- as a booster chair for my toddlers.

Not a fan of catalogs. My husband loved them. Too many memories. Straight into the recycle bin for them.

Sounds like a wonderful relaxing evening, I love getting them too! I don’t get as many as past years..would love to get my hands on a NM Christmas catalog. Are they available in store? Is there always a charge? Enjoy, they should keep you busy for awhile!

As a child, I lived for the day the Sears Christmas catalog arrived. Now, I would never say no to a NM fantasy gift, lol!

Regarding Neiman Marcus is it worth the money? I'm thinking of getting it for my Gram who has Dementia and only looks at magazines and catalogs for her activity. But $15.00 is expensive for a catalog but if it will keep her busy I'll get it.

i would not pay to get it, but it is a nice catalog to look at. for $15 you can get her a years worth of a magazine that will come once a month.

Anyone here remember that nice, thick Spiegel catalog?

True, true. I do have about three magazine subscriptions going for her but she mostly likes to look at the pictures. Sometimes she'll actually read but mostly she looks.

I don't get Neiman Marcus's catalog, and dont get near as many as you (I think you are tops in that department) but I get quite a few--- Lakeside, Bronners, Collections Etc, Country Door, Land's End, L.L. Bean, Vermont Country Store, Bits And Pieces (puzzles & games), World Wildlife Catalog......And probably will get more....

I hope you enjoyed a nice evening and got a chance to relax last night and are getting ready for your big NFL game Sunday
