gift catalogs
Present idea mailers
Gift catalogs are printed booklets or online collections displaying merchandise available for purchase, typically mailed to homes during holiday seasons.
They showcase products with photographs and descriptions, allowing customers to browse and order by phone or internet.
The format peaked in the pre-internet era but persists: Every November, gift catalogs started piling up in the mailbox.
