A good friend has problems with his back and his mobility. I've signed him up for a few mail order catalogs which he has enjoyed. Anyone know of good catalogs I could send him? He is not on the internet and needs mail order sources for items not readily available in his small town, as well as new mail for him to read.
TOPICS: Chit/Chat; Miscellaneous
KEYWORDS: catalogs

You left out Victoria’s Secret. Their catalog might entertain him too.

Harry and David’s is a good catalog, and I buy stuff there but your friend might get hungry from looking at the pages. And I recommend Victoria’s Secret, and I’m sure he’ll be umm, more than happy. ;P

Vermont Country Store is fun. A variety of useful stuff with a pronounced Olde Timey feel.

Mail Order catalogs? Is that like a telephone book?
But seriesly. See if they still make a JC Whitney Catalog.

Does he need mobility assistance? These guys have some interesting gadgets for people with mobility, visual, hearing and other impairments:

You mentioned hobbies-—what kind of hobbies does he enjoy? Also home—could you be more specific, like Interior Decorating, DYI projects, etc?

He might enjoy the Lehman’s Catalog. Items for the Amish and other non electric things.

I would provide a caution about catalogs. Sometimes individuals get hooked on seeing what they cant have, or can no longer use. This can lead to depression.
Not saying your friend will do that, just keep visiting and encouraging.

Back in the 80’s I used to order a lot of stuff from them. I got catalogs for 20 years. They finally stopped sending them after I didn’t buy anything for that long. They have to save money, so I guess if you want to get a paper catalog, they figure you are a good bet if you make a call..........................
