    After IKEA stopped sending catalogues by mail I think Lee Valley might be one of the only ones left. Although last year Amazon sent me a fairly thin Christmas Gift Guide which was somewhat bizarre but hit the nostalgia for these.

    I remember the days of reading through those catalogs with anticipation and hope. Personally I think back fondly on the ultimate catalog, consumers distributing. Fill out the catalog card after weeks of pouring over toys and give it to the parents, instant Christmas list
