My favorite toy catalogue is the Nova Naturals that comes out in the Holiday edition of Mothering Magazine. It’s just so beautiful! I like to put that out for my girls to look at and keep the Sears catalogues out of reach!

My son LOVES the toy catalogs and I admit I keep them for him to look at when he feels the need to “shop”. Lucky for us we seem to be on a lot of mailing lists for smaller Canadian toy companies that focus on wood or recycled plastic toys. These toy catalogs seem to be just as attractive to K as the Sears Wish Book.

It’s strange how our feelings about toy catalogs changes. I remember coveting the Sears Christmas Wish book, with the cool toys and hockey gear. That being said, the stuff today doesn’t seem to last, and the sheer volume of licensed character plastic stuff is overwhelming. I’m with you.
