We actually got it a couple weeks ago. Anyone else find that interesting? I can't argue with it. I have many fond memories as a child, perusing the toy section of the annual JCP Christmas catalog, marking and dreaming of receiving various gifts.

Was thinking my little grandkids would enjoy it like their Daddy did when he was little. Such a shame that Sears is dying. The Sears management really failed |

I loved going through the JCP catalog when I was a kid. Clicking on Amazon just doesn't give me the same feeling. The kids liked going through Toys R Us Big Book of Toys before they went bankrupt. They also like going through the Target toy catalog. It's interesting to see what they circle. Gwen had an Apple Watch circled last year. I admire your ambition kid but no.  |

DGD was playing with the Amazon toy catalog a couple of nights ago when I babysat. She was picking out everything on every page.  It even came with stickers which made it all that much better. |

I got one from Target the other day. I’m going to give to DIL’s niece to get suggestions! She is the only little one in our family. Heck it had a $5 gift card attached. Something about good if this and that ? I stuck it in my purse just in case. Will read the fine print later.

The Amazon toy catalog bought me 20 minutes of peace and quiet while my kids circled nearly everything in site. 😂🤣
I haven’t seen a Target one - now I’m hoping we get one of those as well!
I was amused by some of the things the kids circled. My oldest (8) circled some things for preschool aged kiddos- not happening, buddy, as you’ll be bored with it in 10 minutes. My youngest (4) circled some big Hot Wheels racetrack thing - no issue except she’s never shown any interest in racing any of the Hot Wheels cars we already have. I think they were just circle happy. 😂🤣

I received the Amazon toy catalog and I don't think I've ever bought toys from them.
I remember as a kid going through the Sears and Penneys catalogs circling everything in them. Fond memories.

We received one from Walmart the other day and both my wife and I commented on how strange it seemed to be receiving Christmas toy catalogs again. Maybe they’re being proactive on the pending toilet paper shortage.

We also got one from Target and Meijer. I don't recall seeing one from Wal-Mart this year. I did get a holiday savings catalog from Sam's club. I picked out a couple things from there for myself.
I just found it ironic to get a physical copy from a virtual company like Amazon. Smart move, though. Its hard to browse toys online, and who wants to let their kids spend a bunch of time looking for toys online?

I have Target, Sam's Club and Amazon so far. It's hard to browse for some things online. It's easier to flip through a catalog.

Target’s catalog came yesterday. Once again - 20+ minutes of peace while my kiddos went through it together. 😉😊
And then 10 more minutes while they went through it with dad to show him what they wanted and had circled. 😂🤣

My daughter goes through it every year and uses the stickers to put on what she wants.  |
