For as long as I can remember my mother has been shopping via catalogs. In fact, she is the Catalog Queen.  It was not long before I discovered that shopping from home was very convenient and very easy. The catalogs are delivered to my mailbox, I “shop” in the comfort of my own home, and the product is delivered right to my front door. I am not much of a department store shopper, I don’t have much patience or time, so this form of shopping is perfect for me. Typically, I flip through the catalog, mark what I want, then go to the internet to purchase it online or call in the order by phone. Online shopping has now eliminated the need to send in an order by mail. Much less stressful for me than hitting the local mall.

The 5 catalog finds below are great gift items, all for under $15! Perfect for those on a budget, decreasing the financial stress of the holiday season. These items are also priced low enough that those on a fixed income can give a great gift without looking liked they scrimped. 

1. All TV Stuff catalog has a blow dryer stand that holds your blow dryer at just the right height and angle, for use either on the floor or the countertop. The height-adjustable, flexible gooseneck allows you to position your blow dryer exactly where you need it. This not only leaves both hands free to style your hair as it dries, but eliminates the fatigue of holding a heavy blow dryer. I have always been frustrated by the fact that I only had one hand to style my thick, out-of-control hair with, now I can have that “extra hand” I’ve always needed. Fits virtually any model blow dryer and comes with a velcro strap to secure odd sized blow dryers. While it is great for anyone, those with special needs will find it particularly useful. I had a shoulder injury not too long ago and I still have trouble holding a blow dryer for any length of time. A great find at just $13.99. This one is definitely on my Xmas list this year.
