Purchasing Power
I find myself fascinated with certain catalogues at this time of the year. I dub them the catalogues of unusual ,unnecessary, and quirky gifts. From now until December these glossy pages will fill mailboxes and gladden the hearts of the beleaguered post office.
Who buys the Remote Controlled Dueling Helicopters? Where do you fly these dueling foes? And why?
If you like to multi task then the Single Handed Barber fits your personality. Looks as if the buzz cut or short crew cut are specialties.
For the insect lover: a Remote Controlled Tarantula with a hairy exterior. The eight legs move independently and his eyes light up. Batteries required.
And for all those who never acquired the dexterity to manipulate spaghetti around a fork— help is on the way. The motorized Spinning Spaghetti Fork turns at 22rpm and "smoothly winds pasta" around a fork. No longer will strands of unruly spaghetti hang down nor will you be forced to slurp an errant noodle before it falls.
Do you have a cat who finds mouse hunting difficult? Perhaps your cat feels so deficient that the sport no longer holds any allure. The Cat's Phantom Mouse Teaser "encourages cats to chase an elusive mouse scurrying beneath a fabric skirt." The mouse changes direction, its tail peeks out luring the cat to pounce. Your cat practices away from the eyes of mice and men.
My favorite—so far— The Power Nap Head Pillow. Envision a pillow that covers your entire head. It fits snuggly—but does leave an oval shaped space for your nose and mouth. Four inches of stuffing cradles your head and according to the write up your cocoon provides a dark and quiet environment. Your eyes remain buried beneath four inches of hypoallergenic stuffing.
The release of seasonal catalogues gives new meaning to idiosyncratic gifts for those you love.
None of my cooking friends own a pair of Tear-Free Onion Glasses—
