Free catalogs

I love catalogs. They are like free fashion and home decorating magazines without all those pesky "articles." Even if I can't buy the stuff, I still like looking through the pages for ideas about ways I can decorate, styles to wear, fun gadgets, etc. So with this in mind, I am working on creating a listing of cool designers and retailers who offer free catalogs upon request. I mean, yeah sure, you can just browse their websites, but you don't have to be on a computer to flip through a catalog! I'm still trying to figure out the best way to get this kind of thing published to the blog, so it may be a while coming.

Track all your packages with PackTrack

I've been using PackTrack for a while now. It gives you one-stop package tracking for pretty much every carrier under the sun. Just plug in your tracking number and select the shipper. The best part about it is that it remembers your tracking number for you and keeps it in a handy list for quick checking. So if you're obsessive like me and check the status of your shipment over and over like five times a day (c'mon you know you do it too) you don't have to rummage up your confirmation email from the vendor.
