It arrived that Saturday's newspaper and I spent time checking what extravagant items have been created for us to enjoy. Hedonics- catering to the hedonists- came with all the other ads encouraging us to shop. Now, I am not a smoker but I can see this appealing to the Bob Hope types- the ultimate cigar tee holder. I am sure that there some characters in movies like Caddyshack who needed this aid. My life would be better with this next item: a counter top wine cellar which stores up to 8 bottles. We are practising parts of the Mediterranean diet- the part that advocates drinking a glass of wine each day. For only $99, I can ensure that the wine is on chill and that there are back-up bottles ready for guests and future consumption. I drink wine with less guilt since it is healthy and I can take the bottle to the beer store to be redeemed for 20 cents a bottle.
The catalogue offers the instant solar fountain which actually appeals to me despite the fact that I am still looking out at least 2 feet of snow and there is more precipitation on the way. I am not a golfer but I can picture some of my golfing friends enjoying this next item- a Kooler Klub -which is a cooler disguised as a golf club, the cooler component is in the base of the club and the top has spigot which allows hot or cold beverages to come up by means of a pump. What a great idea, maybe someone will invent a tennis cooler. A waistband stretcher- when I finally give up trying to loose the extra weight so that I can wear some pants that are becoming more out of style with each passing day- I will get this.
I love these catalogues. Actually, my favourite is one that has attaches, planners and note books all in wonderful colours and styles. I am a sucker for a nice attache and planner. Have to get a new planner this week.
