Hammacher Schlemmer Provides The Finest Quality Home Accessories
Since my childhood days of Sears Christmas Wish Book, I have loved the arrival of seasonal catalogues! The Hammacher Schlemmer catalogue arrived at my house today. For those of you unfamiliar with this New York-based retail store, the catalogue is its hundred and sixtieth. It is the longest running catalogue in America. What can you expect from this old, established store? Inside the colorful pages of this catalogue are some of the finest home accessories you will ever find. Even when I am not looking for home accessories, I browse through catalogues for unusual items youd be unlikely to find elsewhere. The catalogue is also a great source of gifts for brides, housewarming gifts and items for close friends. This catalogue is not limited to home accessories. There is a wide selection of clothing and personal care items, electronics and toys.
Last year for their birthdays I bought my grandnieces the Seven Child Airplane Teeter Totter. They were the envy of all the kids in their neighborhood! The airplane fuselage, complete with propeller and wings allow two to seven delighted children to ride, using their feet and their creative imagination.
My husband was ecstatic about the Global Positioning System from Hammacher Schlemmer. He even tries out The GPS Homing Device Keychain which locates your car in a large parking lotnot that hed ever forget where he parked it!!!
This year a new item drew my attention. Its a two-person 60 MPH Hovercraft, which travels across water, sand, snow, ice and short grass. What fun! My husband tried to appeal to my green conscience by pointing out the 120 MPH Electric Car. It runs on rechargeable lead acid batteries and can travel 40 to 80 miles before recharging.
Just in time for summer and outdoor living are the genuine bamboo tiki bar, a trestle patio table with stow-away chairs, and an LED Television\DVD player combo.
For those of you, who are into unique gadgets, check out the high definition video pen with a built-in video camera. You can run it from your shirt pocket. It will take up to 20,000 JPEG format images or five hours of video. Just the thing for a graduation, reunion or wedding!
For the children who like outdoor games theres a Snakes and Ladders Lawn Game for $44.95 and a bounce-driven scooter now just $249.95.
The Hammacher Schlemmer catalogue and store have undergone huge changes since 1848. When the store first opened 160 years ago, Hammacher Schlemmer sold quality tools to builders and mechanics. Obviously, it has expanded its line several times. However, one thing remains the same: The merchandise is still on the cutting edge of technology and innovation. In keeping with that reputation, Hammacher Schlemmer became one of the first stores to have electric lighting. By 1978, the store had telephones.
Whether you are looking for home accessories, clothes, games or that one-of-a-kind item for that hard-to-buy-for relative, youre sure to find it in one of the fine seasonal catalogues offered by several companies.
