Ultimate Gifts From the Golden Age of Christmas Catalogues

Ultimate Gifts from the Golden Age of Christmas Catalogues is a coffee table book celebrating the
legendary Sakowitz Christmas catalogues and their unforgettable series of theme-oriented “ultimate
gifts.” The book details how some of the outlandish offerings were created and obtained, some of their
purchasers, and the international publicity that those stories generated, and nation-wide competition.
Sized to echo the original catalogues, the book is organized by catalogue year from 1968 to the late
1980’s. Each chapter introduces the moment, then presents the catalogue cover followed by the original
facing pages featuring the ultimate gifts exactly as they appeared.
