Experience gifts for the ultimate life experience
I am impossible to shop for.
I know this. I admit this.
I used to grimace when opening gifts during the holiday season. It either didn’t fit, I received the same one last year in a different color, or I just flat out hated it. I, on the other hand, give the awesomest gifts known to man or woman. Rather than run the risk of accruing another closet/garage full of lukewarm loot, I discovered a simple alternative to this unfortunate seasonal dilemma. I buy my own gifts.
This year I’m gifting myself with the experience of a lifetime with an Ultimate Experience Gift from Cloud 9 Living.
Just call me Maverick because I’m taking the highway to the Danger Zone with a Fighter-Pilot for a Day Package. Then again, maybe I’ll give my Camaro a rest and race a 490 horsepower, V8 Ferrari F430 F1 that goes 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds… Bungee Jumping would be cool.
Hmpf. I’m hard to experience shop for.

Inflatable Movie Screens – Watch movies outdoors on an inflatable screen
I consider myself a great outdoorsman. I enjoy fishing, sailing and taking leisurely dips in my pool. I also enjoy watching television, but I don’t feel very outdoorsy while watching the boob tube from my couch.
Now I can maximize my love for being outdoors and still get in a healthy dose of entertainment with one of these ginormous Inflatable Movie Screens from the Improvements Catalog.
Forget about Drive-ins, welcome to my Swim-in.

Infrared portable sauna for a personal sauna bath, any time you need it
Sometimes it’s good to sweat things out.
A bad economy, an argument with your significant other, Sweatin’ to the Oldies with Richard Simmons. Most deoderants and antipersperants will warn you that it’s never good to let them see you sweat, but I disagree. A little sweat never hurt anyone.
In fact, sweating has a long list of health benefits. It can help your pores open up, excrete toxins and other impurities from your blood, relieve aching muscles, and even help you drop a few unwanted pounds.
I’m all for saunas, but I hate pricey gym memberships and I hate sweating in a room full of naked men even more, which is why I’m sweating myself up with my very own Infrared Portable Sauna from Promolife.
It’s totally worth my blood, sweat and tears.

Funny sticky notes for funny post it note recycling
I have 453 yellow post it notes stuck on my desk.
I’m a busy guy with lots of ideas, and I need to keep track of them somewhere. Most of them are chores for Nigel, some are reminders to pick up eggs, and others are cutting edge ideas I’ve come up with to revolutionize the catalog industry.
We’ve been recycling here at Catalogs.com for awhile now and I’m excited to report that I’ve finally discovered a product that will help me recycle the millions of ideas that filter through my brain, ultimately ending up on post-it after post-it.

Themed cupcakes featuring Barack Obama make tasty Presidential treats
I’m a Republican. This election was particularly difficult for me, with many Democratic supporters, friends, co-workers and colleagues urging me to cross party lines and vote for the Obama/Biden ticket (especially Trish- Ms. Yes We Can).
I was hesitant at first, but these Obama Themed Cupcakes from Mrs. Beasley’s almost made me switch over. Go ahead, call me a traitor, Cindy McCain would’ve switched over too if she had tried one of these cupcakes. Read the rest of this entry »

Say goodbye to germs with high tech kitchen gadgets from Horchow catalog
I don’t like germs. Especially if they’re lurking around on my food. Before I sit down to lunch I double wash my grapes, lettuce, tomatoes and every other fruit and vegetable that’s going anywhere near my mouth. It’s no picnic. I hate germs, but I love gadgets, so this Nano Ultraviolet Disinfection Scanner from Horchow is the perfect gift. It makes all of my fruits and veggies completely germ free by sanitizing my kitchen countertops, plus I have a new hi tech gadget to play with while I’m mincing and dicing.

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.

Enjoy the safest Harley ride ever with this diecast motorcycle replica
There isn’t anything more exhilarating than the freedom of the open road. The wind through your hair, the hot rubber on the pavement… the tight leather biker chaps. Truth – I’ve never actually been on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. I’ve dreamed about it, but I’m scared I’ll crash and die a horrible Harley related death. That or I’ll lose some teeth and have to go to the dentist to have my mouth X-rayed. I have a terrible gag reflex.
How cool is it that I can enjoy a Harley Davdison and all it’s amazing features minus the fear factor with this Harley Diecast Motorcycle replica from The Fairfield Mint?
