The Sears Wish Book Is Gone But This Is Pretty Close!

I got the mail the other day and noticed something kind of different! It’s a holiday wish book but instead of the classic Sears Christmas Wishbook, this was a Amazon version! I guess they’ve been doing this for a few years but this was the first year I ever got one! It’s full of toys and gift ideas that you can order on Amazon. There’s even an option to scan items with your phone and order them instantly!

It’s a cool idea and I’m sure Amazon is kind of piggybacking on what Sears use to do but I do miss the original Sears catalog! Have you got an Amazon Wish book yet? Order anything from it? Do you with the original Wish book from Sears?
