  • Relax as I flip through a 1971 Sears Wish Book Christmas catalog.
    This is part 1 of a series. I'll try to do 75-100 pages each video. Hope you enjoy.

    It was one of the best days of the year when the Wish Book arrived. I circled everything I needed and never got any of it but it was still fun. I do still have the dresser and nightstand my parents bought for me in 1977 from the catalog. It holds my kids crafts now. ☺️

    Yes I loved theses books . I always had to wait my turn to circle all the things Santa would be asked for. Thank you for sharing such good childhood memories.

    I remember the Wish Book coming out for December. We got so excited as kids.

      It was magical as a kid. The Wish Book's I received in the mail always ended up with frayed pages, folded corners and faded covers (back and front) from the sweat of my little paws from using the book as a toy bible of the day. It was a grand time to be an innocent child.

    I remember going through my grandparents magazine stack to find this catalog. One of my favorite memories as a child.

    I had many friends that worked at the Sears Catalog distribution center in Columbus Ohio. This brings back some memories. Unfortunately all catalogues went away and so did my friends jobs. Sears actually paid a decent wage back in the 80's

      Sears is going bankrupt, they can't help that they can't afford to pay fortune to workers. Walmart, target and Amazon especially are running them out of business.

    YES! I did look at that in 1971! The "WishBook' was the go-to book to decide what you wanted from Santa. I asked for the "Voice of the Mummy" game, and the "Chrissy" doll and received both.

    Thank you SO much for doing this! I was 11 when this one came out and I remember every thing in it...especially the electric NFL...those players would vibrate all over the place! Please complete the '71 and do others as well...you are doing many like me who miss those times a great service. Bless you and have a Happy Chirstmas!!!

  • @superdog3350
    @superdog3350 3 года назад +1

    ALL of these toys featured here had a lengthy TV promo campaign behind them (usually Saturday mornings or immediately after school 3 to 5 pm). Almost always starting on the first Saturday after Labour Day in-keeping with the new round of Saturday morning cartoons. As I remember this particular Wish Book (obviously an American version) had an extensive model trains offering. Now that was serious shiznitz back-in-the-day. The Power-Mites needed thin 'balsa' wood (not included) and as I had two of these bad boys I never got to use them 'properly'.

  • @PercivalHoward

    I don't know why but dolls always scared me, and the dolls in this catalogue are no exception. Nonetheless, this was a great video as always :) I was relaxed after the dolls! :D

    Also at 6:53, pause again. The Raggedy Ann Doll on the bottom right is the doll that inspired the infamous horror movie 'Annabelle'. A girl bought the doll, in the true story, and it was exorcised after strange things began happening in the house. It was found to have the soul of a murderer inside it who had, before he died, put his soul in the doll after the cops chased him to a superstore and shot him in the heart. The doll now resides in some museum in the USA and has a sign on the box saying 'DO NOT TOUCH THIS DOLL'. People who have visited the museum and made fun of the doll or ridiculed it have died in mysterious circumstances, only a couple of weeks afterwards...

    In this video: ASMR and weapons grade nostalgia.
    I think you should do a Spirograph episode.

    Neat catalog. I dont think Sears still publishes a Wishbook they stopped in Canada in 2015. Sears Canada is going out of business and start Liquidation next week ( October 19 2017). Sears Canada is after closing a bunch of store these past few months and are now closing the rest. Sears failed to adapt to a changing marketplace, ceding customers and market share to Walmart, Canadian Tire, Best Buy, Costco and Winners, and more recently, Amazon.

      Here's a link to watch the episode: tinyurl.com/jxmccc8
      There's almost no chance it's *actually* him which is why i'm ok with posting the episode title; this is just how I pictured him in my mind & he does have a similiar accent :D

      @melissastorn 8 лет назад

      +Corkoth55 +dontdissmiss PS: I think the reason he reminded me of RelaxingASMR is that for a Jep contestant he spoke soooo slowwwly which would normally drive me nuts b/c i hate when they don't get to all 30 questions but in this case i was fine with it since his voice is so soothing :D
