Play with your own personal Robot boy toy from Hammacher Schlemmer
When I was a kid my favorite cartoon was The Jetsons. I sat for hours in front of the television fascinated by the life and times of the futuristic George Jetson, his boy Elroy, daughter Judy and Jane his wife. But my most belovéd Jetson character was hands down, Rosie the Robot - the sweet, caring, charming maid with a mothering quality that made me want to crawl all up in her apron.
It’s not just Rosie, I have a thing for robots in general (C3PO and Wall-E are so hot), so if anyone wants to make me happy this Christmas, they’ll slip the World’s Smallest Humanoid Robot from Hammacher Schlemmer into my stocking.
Elementar-tea my dear Watson

The tea pot did it in the billiard room… or was it the kettle in the library
Some people call me Amy, but those who know me to a tea (sorry, tee) call me Sherlock, Super Sleuth Extraordinaire. When I’m not working my day job at Catalogs.com, I would do Sir Arthur Conan Doyle proud, solving various neighborhood crimes and mysteries. I don’t like to brag, but most recently I single-handedly nabbed the culprit who stole my garbage can. The proper authorities were contacted immediately.
Once the crime solving is finished and the mysteries are solved, I like to come home, take off my trench coat, smoke a pipe and use this Japanese Tea Pot from Todd & Holland Tea Merchants to brew the finest Earl Grey tea… just as my dear predecessor Sherlock Holmes would have done.

Bling it on with this icy cool simulated diamond ring
Confession. Everyone knows I’m totally gullible. I believe everything anyone ever tells me without batting an eyelash. For instance:
Bryan: “Hey Linda, the world is ending in 20 years.”
Me: “Really? Let’s hit Vegas!”
Richard: “Hey Linda, I’m giving you a 75% raise!”
Me: “You’re the best boss ever!”
Trish: “Hey Linda, I went on a date with People’s Sexiest Man Alive Hugh Jackman last night!”
Me: “Oh my God, is he a good kisser?!!”
Yes. It’s that bad. I don’t have one skeptical bone in my body, which is why I refuse to believe that this Simulated Diamond Ring from Diamond Essence isn’t real.

Petrossian gift sampler for eggsellent caviar online
My husband and I received an early Christmas gift this year. We weren’t expecting it, but were thrilled nevertheless. We waited a long time for it and weren’t sure if it would ever really happen, but alas, it did… Our wealthy relatives (who shall remain nameless) finally sent us a decent Christmas gift.
We opened up a package to discover a divine gourmet treat that makes up for half a dozen years of Reindeer and Snowman sweaters. The only problem? There’s too much of it. Petrossian puts all their eggs in one basket with this ever so rich Online Caviar Masterpiece Trio gift sampler.
I still believe in Santa dogs

This Santa Dog suit from In the Company of Dogs makes me believe
When I was ten I stopped believing in Santa. I witnessed my sleepy father ripping a Cabbage Patch Kid out of it’s box and from that day forward I knew, it was all a pretense. Until last year. Why does this Dog Santa Suit from In the Company of Dogs make me believe? Here is my story…
Last Christmas Eve I was
sleeping all snug in my bed,
while visions of Marc Jacobs
handbags danced in my head.
When down on the stairs
there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed
to see what was the matter.

Look hot while giving a rest to tired female soles
Fact. Women love to wear high heel shoes. Manolo Blahniks, Jimmy Choos, Christian Louboutins, they’re all our best friends. We lust after 4 inch stilettos, knee high boots and wedges the same way men lust after imported beer. They hurt, they’re hard to walk in, they squish our little piggies that went to market and leave our beautiful soles full of corns, calluses and cramps. But alas, we love them. Why? Because they’re pretty. We haven’t got time for the pain, so what are female soles to do? Invest in Killer Kushionz from Foot Petals.com, that’s what.
Make holiday entertaining bear-able

Add some black bear decor to your home with NorthStyle Catalog
I’m not the best host. I’m a great party guest, but I’m not so crazy about hosting. I don’t even like getting up every ten minutes to refresh my own drink much less other people’s drinks. Whether I’m watching a game on TV with the guys, having a dinner party or entertaining guests at a holiday shindig, I can’t take the stress of making sure everyone’s glass is half full. We can’t really afford a butler to perform white glove service at every one of our entertainment functions… but I can afford this Butler Bear from NorthStyle catalog.
I need the exercise

Pole Dancing 101 with the Pyramid Collection
My body is a wonderland, and I need to keep it that way. I get bored of workout regimens pretty easily- running gets old, elliptical machines are so monotonous and Yoga makes me drowsy. I’m always looking for something new which is why this Pole Dancing Kit from The Pyramid Collection is at the top of my holiday Wish List. It will help me maintain my girlish figure…while entertaining a few other girlish figures.
I did not drink wine with that woman

Have some Presidential fun with Catalog Favorites gifts
After the past election, I’m still hyped up and feeling kinda presidential. My vote counted and President-to-be Barack Obama is going to take good care of me and my fellow Americans. I’d like to forget about how I’ve been screwed for the past eight years and celebrate the fact that the Democrats are back in the house. No better way to celebrate the victory of our new President Elect than with a Presidential wine party! This Bill Clinton corkscrew from Catalog Favorites is a welcome addition to any wine party…or party in general.
Wake up and smell the coffee maker

Keurig and the coffee maker of my dreams
If I don’t have my coffee in the morning, I’m of no use to anyone. Don’t talk to me, don’t look at me, don’t breathe near me. Try it and beware of the Wrath of Linda. That’s right, it’s so bad, it’s italicized. Times are tight and I’m tired of spending gas on numerous coffee runs, so I’m thinking it’s time to invest in a new coffee maker that will keep me properly caffeinated. This Breville Keurig Single Cup Brewer from Green Mountain Coffee® isn’t just a coffee maker, it’s my coffee savior.

Simple fact- big guys love big live lobsters
Bigger is better. No doubt about it. When it comes to food, cars, flat screen TV’s, all men will concur. Super Size us. From burgers to steaks, ribs to seafood…give us a Fred Flintstone-sized portion and we’ll be happy.
This big live lobster from Simply Lobsters is no exception. Feast your eyes on three pounds of deliciously juicy lobster meat just waiting to come out of his hard shell.

Treat man’s best friend to a catalog of gadget gifts from Hammacher Schlemmer
Whether it’s 4 o’clock in the morning interrupting the most peaceful sleep you’ve had in months, or on a Friday night when you’re out for cocktails, dinner and dancing… When a dogs gotta go, a dogs gotta go.
I can’t put Bryan’s Wee Wee Man pee pee tee pee on my dog, so this Indoor Dog Restroom from the Hammacher Schlemmer catalog will have to do.
