National Mail Order Catalog Day is a special day celebrated on August 18th. It remembers when people used to get big books, called catalogs, in the mail. These catalogs were filled with pictures and descriptions of things people could buy, like toys, clothes, and furniture. Before computers and online shopping, people would look through these catalogs, choose what they liked, fill out an order form, and send it back. Weeks later, their items would arrive by mail. This day celebrates how shopping was done in the past, helping us understand how things have changed over the years.
How to celebrate National Mail Order Catalog Day?
Celebrate by looking through fun catalogs with your family. Pick out things you like and talk about them. You can make a wish list of your favorite items. Play a game where you imagine creating your own catalog with cool products. Maybe draw a picture of the things you'd sell. Have a mini fashion show using clothes from the catalogs or pretend to buy items using play money. Invite friends to join and swap catalogs with them for more ideas. Lastly, end the day by writing a letter or drawing a picture to send by mail to someone special.
