I Wish you a Beary Christmas
Holiday candy gift set - Aplets & Cotlets candy combined with a cuddly holiday bear
In my house I’m known as the Queen of the Christmas stocking. There isn’t anyone in my family who still believes in Santa, but everyone has their own stocking nevertheless.
There they will hang by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Trish soon will be there.
Yes, I always find the perfect little trinkets and goodies that will keep everyone guessing, stuffing those stockings ’til they’re packed to capacity with the spirit of St. Nick coarsing through my veins.
This year’s resident stuffed stocking staple is this soft and cuddly Holiday Candy Gift Bear from Aplets & Cotlets who is armed with a scrumptious box of the original Aplets & Cotlets fruit candy.
Oops. Did I just give it away?
Grin and baby bear it
Anne Geddes toys - Adorably plush baby toys from the mind of Anne Geddes
Your little one has two favorite go-to toys:
1. Their stuffed, totally huggable teddy bear.
2. Their angelic, sleepy, totally realistic looking baby doll.
If you lose either one, you’re facing many a sleepless night of rock-a-bye babying on the treetop.
Thankfully, now you can give them a hybrid of their two favorite friends, morphed into one with this Baby Bear plush toy from an exquisite collection of Anne Geddes Toys inspired by the iconic creations of Anne Geddes.
Rock em Sock em Robots
Rock em Sock em Robots will rock your robot socks off
I’ve always had a fondness for games that allow me to beat other people up - Mortal Kombat, Virtual Fighter, Mike Tyson’s Punch Out… they always helped me feel triumphant and invincible, even though outside of the cyber fighting world I was completely powerless (my underdeveloped bicep is still recovering from being overthrown in an arm wrestling match against my brother two decades ago).
Aside from all of the lethal video games on the market, I always wanted a Rock em sock em Robots game for Christmas. Like little Ralphie Parker from A Christmas Story and his coveted Red Ryder BB gun, the object of my obsession was the original TKO classic that is now on sale at the Vermont Country Store. I still don’t know why I never got one. It’s not like I could’ve shot my eye out with it.
Live long and propser
Spock action figure for Spock loving trekkies
Hello Earthlings, don’t be alarmed. I come in peace.
I am the Spock Action Figure from Entertainment Earth. I am the son of Vulcan ambassador Sarek and human mother Amanda Grayson, at least according to Wikkipedia. I served on the USS Enterprise for eleven years under the command of Captain Christopher Pike and continue to serve aboard the ship as science officer and first officer. Until recently, I have served under James T. Kirk as my Captain, but he is on temporary leave while biding his time as a crochety lawyer on Boston Legal.
I have come on this journey to plug my new blockbuster Star Trek film (in theatres now), my collectible action figure, and of course, to beseech you all to live long and prosper.
All in good Fun dip
Fun dips give me a fun candy dipping blast from the past
I walked into the office next door the other day to send a fax and was surprised to see one of my co-workers sitting cross-legged in her chair, transfixed on a pouch. At first I thought she was chewing tobacco, which seemed totally uncharacteristic of her. Then I realized she wasn’t chewing and spitting, she was sucking and slurping like a 7 year-old. I peered a little closer and saw her dipping into a small, colorful little packet.
What’cha eating? I asked, perplexed.
Fun Dips! she replied with a green lipped smile.
Then it all came back to me. Fun dips, yes! She had ordered a batch of those retro candy treats for an upcoming party from the US Toy Carnival Catalog and was licking her colored sugar daintily off of her prized Lik-A-Stick with glee. Well, wasn’t she fancy? My kids and I loved these retro candy treats so much, we weren’t patient enough to use the stick. Our fingers were good enough.
She USB toys with my emotions
USB Toy that makes my computer’s USB H-O-T
I have a dirty little secret.
I really dig computer time. Whether on my desktop at work or my laptop at home, I am completely and utterly addicted to my cyberlife. Lately I’ve been working, surfing and emailing all morning, noon and night with only a few breaks here and there to walk the dog. I don’t mind carpal tunnel syndrome, back strain, vision problems, muscle spasms or the imminent threat of arthritis. I’m addicted to my computer and it’s all this USB Toy Stripper’s fault.
She’s blonde, she’s sexy, and she dances whenever I turn her on (which is all the time, thank you very much). My pole dancing honey from Bud K Catalog is hooked up to my computer and keeps me thoroughly entertained with a wink, a smile and some killer badonkadonk. Even if I’m having trouble backing up my files, I just give her a dollar and she makes it happen.
Bowling for dollars at my desk
This mini bowling set helps me strike up some good business
I’m very superstitious when it comes to new deals. Whenever I have a new client, I have a special routine that clues me in on whether a deal will head north or south, east or west. I don’t believe in rubbing rabbit’s feet, I don’t call 1-800-PSYCHIC and I don’t count on finding a penny and picking it up so all day long I’ll have good luck. My process is much simpler than all that.
I bowl.
One serve of a tiny little bowling ball tells me everything I need to know with this Mini Bowling Desk Set from Bowling Delights. If I land a gutterball, it ain’t happening. If I get a spare, it’s still a possibility, and if I get a strike…I’m headed to Tahiti.
Nobody leaves fake Baby in a corner
Real life baby dolls that cry, burp and coo for real
When I was seven, I left my Cabbage Patch Kid in an Italian restaurant. I cried about it for hours. Would Lorraine Ann be taken care of by the busboys? Fed spaghetti? Would they change her outfits and sing her to sleep the way I did every night? The answers to all of my questions were not even…Lorraine was found in the corner, on the floor under the table with tomato sauce smeared on her forehead. I was happy to have her back, but it took me days to get all of the garlic breadcrumbs out of her hair. I can only imagine how much worse it would’ve been if I’d have left a Real Life Baby Doll Ready or Not Tot in the pasta place that night.
IHop
This Hopper ball will get you all hopped up for a hopping good time
I love to hop. I rock at hopscotch, I’m obsessed with IHop (and their Rooty Tooty Fresh ‘N Fruity Specials), and I love to bust out the bunny hop whenever I go clubbing. I even love Hopalong Cassidy and the Sundance Kid…wait, that was Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. My bad. Nevertheless, I simply just love to hop. Whenever I get a free chance, I’m in the middle of the floor, hopping around on my very own happy happy fun ball thanks to this addictive Hopper Ball from Fun and Function.
It’s time to play the music
Muppet characters you create yourself for hours of Muppet fun
We’re all a bunch of Muppet characters here at Catalogs.com:
Amy is as culinary inclined as the Swedish Chef
Trish and her unmarked patriotism bear a striking resemblance to Sam the Eagle
Bryan is our wisecracking, piano playing Rowlf the Dog
Jody is Scooter, always scooting around, filing and performing odd jobs
Linda is the crazy boomerang fish thrower whose name escapes me
Richard and Nigel are Beaker and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew respectively
Matt is Animal, and I…
I am the rocking Janice with her long flowing locks and hippie chick vibe.
We still haven’t figured out which character Gina is, so we’re going to Create our very own Muppet Character thanks to FAO.com and their Muppet Whatnot Workshop.
Barack the vote
*Note: The views expressed are solely those of the author/speaker and do not reflect the views of Catalogs.com, Senator Barack Obama or the Democratic National Party and it’s associates.
I am such a good American. I’ve done my research, watched the debates and voted early not one, but two weekends ago. I’ve made no effort to hide my political affiliations and have shouted the name of my Presidential candidate of choice across the rooftops. I bubbled in that voting bubble with great pride feeling a swell of hope in my heart for a new chapter of American history. Since the early stages of Election ‘08, this Barack Obama Action Figure from Entertainment Earth has been a permanent fixture on my desk, reminding me that change is only one vote away.
Diecast biker dude
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?
