Best (Worst?) of Sky Mall

on April 14, 2011
in All Posts

My day began very early – I was at the airport at 5 AM.  I basically sleepwalked onto the plane.

IMG_2606

I took out such an early flight to make sure I’d be home in time for Girls on the Run!  They are definitely my priority on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Only five lessons left until our big community 5K – I’m getting sad!  I’ll miss the girls (it’s weird how you usually end up saying goodbye forever after 12 weeks of being so close to them). 

 

I organized breakfast last night, so eating well this morning was no problem, despite my sleepy state.

Spread out over three ‘meal times,’ but I still have a sneaking suspicion I’ll be ready for lunch at 10 AM.  😉

 

I’m currently chilling on my connecting flight to Charlotte.

And YES, I scored an aisle seat!  Windows are for the brave people who don’t have to just pretend like they’re sitting in a bus, not a plane, in order to avoid a panic attack.

 

Let’s play… what is the weirdest item Caitlin can find for sale in the Sky Mall catalogue? Selections were chosen based on uselessness and/or price.

First up:  a tree sculpture of Bigfoot, which can be yours for just $69.95!  Creeping out your neighbors:  priceless.

IMG_2612

Second: a step-by-step system to train your cat how to use the toilet instead of the litterbox! Who needs an extra $49.99, anyway?

IMG_2611

Third: a device that records your grocery list and prints it out for you.  All yours for $89.99!  Or… you could just write it down on paper, for free.  But whatever.

IMG_2610

And last, but not least, a portable laptop table that allows businessmen to WORK… IN BED… LYING DOWN.  Which is totally what I really, really want to do after traveling.  Yours for $99.99!

Sky Mall fans, hollar back!

    I laughed and laughed at this – I’m now super looking forward to my flight later and finding some of these things in sky mall!

  • Joanne April 14, 2011, 9:23 am

    Yay Oiko’s and Clif! Yummy go to breakfast snacks.

    It’s amazing what people can make money off of. Really… there WILL be purchases of those items (not by me and you..but hey…diff. strokes).

    Safe travels and have fun with GOTR.

  • Samantha Angela @ Bikini Birthday April 14, 2011, 9:32 am

    I hate those tiny little planes. I always find that they have the worst turbulence. Maybe it’s just coincidence from personal experience, but I am NOT a fan.

  • Kaitlin April 14, 2011, 9:33 am

    Love your shoes! Super cute. Have a great flight!

  • Evan Thomas April 14, 2011, 9:33 am

    I don’t think I know personally anyone who has ever bought anything from Sky Mall.

    • JenATX April 14, 2011, 4:05 pm

      I have purchased something from sky mall! My bf & i were flipping through together once & he spotted a pair of KU slippers that he loved so I got him for his bday… Not nearly as funny of an item as that weird big foot tree guy

  • Kristen April 14, 2011, 9:33 am

    That cat looks like it is about to kill someone…But I do think I need hat bigfoot statue- maybe even 3 of them.

  • LindzGreerIndy April 14, 2011, 9:33 am

    The Sky Mall is definitely a good laugh! Always the highlight of a flight for the hubs and me!

  • Melanie @ Trial By Trail April 14, 2011, 9:34 am

    That was hilarious! Thanks for making me laugh! 🙂

  • Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin April 14, 2011, 9:34 am

    Hahaha I love this post. Browsing through that catalog is so entertaining. I saw not one, but TWO marshmallow launchers with different ranges in the Sky Mall catalog last time I was on a plane!

  • Jill April 14, 2011, 9:34 am

    What about the inflatable pillow shaped like a wedge that you put on your tray table so you can sleep on the plane? The photo of the guy sleeping on it (Hawaiian shirt, gray hair mustache) makes me laugh every single time.
    And the zombie coming out of the ground which is sold by the same folks as the Bigfoot.

    • Caitlin April 14, 2011, 9:35 am

      YESSSSSSSSS

      BOTH of those almost made the cut for this post. It was a hard decision.

    • Errign April 14, 2011, 10:40 am

      Hahaha, the pillow one is my FAVORITE.

    • Lee April 14, 2011, 4:35 pm

      I like that pillow one too. Imagine if you were next to someone who was using it. Haha.

  • Alayna @ Thyme Bombe April 14, 2011, 9:35 am

    Wow, I think Bigfoot takes the cake on that one.

  • Freya April 14, 2011, 9:36 am

    Ohmygosh – I want ALL those items!! I adoreee reading ctalogues like that – you seriously have to wonder a)who came up with the idea, and b) who the heck would buy it!??

  • Angie @ Musings of a Violet Monkey April 14, 2011, 9:37 am

    Those are hilarious.
    I once saw a pair of shoes for sale in the Sky Mall catalog for men that were, ahem, vertically challenged. They had “hidden” platforms… so you’d appear taller. They were hideous, and looked exactly like you might imagine. Cracked me up.

  • chelsea April 14, 2011, 9:38 am

    I love looking through Sky Mall and pretend I have tons of money and pick out gifts for everyone I know. It’s funny there is always something that fits for everyone! You know they always say you can take Sky Mall, well I always do!

  • Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat April 14, 2011, 9:38 am

    HAHAHHA! Those are hilarious finds. It makes you wonder – if people don’t think about how they need these things in their every day lives, what would make them any more inclined to need them while sitting in an airport??? I hope your flight goes well! 🙂

  • Becky April 14, 2011, 9:38 am

    Love Sky Mall. The worst thing about living abroad is no Sky Mall on flights. I always love it when we take domestic flights in the states- such great free entertainment!

  • Camille April 14, 2011, 9:39 am

    Hahahaha, okay are you ready for this?
    After seeing the Litter Quitter is Sky Mall, my boyfriend decided he was going to potty train my kitten. So, he asked for it for Christmas (still not joking) and set to work trying to teach her to use the toilet. We have incidences of a certain clumsy kitten falling in the toilet among other lovely side effects. It was the worst thing ever and I made him stop.

    So there you go, there are (semi-) normal people out there who buy this stuff! 🙂

    • Caitlin April 14, 2011, 9:40 am

      YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS MOST EPIC COMMENT EVER.

      I love your boyfriend.

      Did it work at all or no?

      • Camille April 14, 2011, 9:56 am

        It might have if we had a smarter cat, but she just kept waiting for us to move the toilet insert that is filled with kitty litter so we could go to the bathroom and then she would use it on the floor.
        And just to clarify, the insert has a giant hole in the middle (to get them used to the water below them), so she would ultimately end up using the bathroom all over the floor.
        T’was a delight 🙂

  • Meghan April 14, 2011, 9:40 am

    I have a friend who toilet trained his cat. It was pretty cool, but weird because you couldn’t put the seat down.

    I love looking at the Sky Mall it makes me crack up!

  • Holly @ The Runny Egg April 14, 2011, 9:41 am

    hahaha!!!! I love that SkyMall magazine — and I’ve never seen that Big Foot statue thing! What a riot!

  • LindseyAnn April 14, 2011, 9:43 am

    1. Cute shoes!
    2. I may actually want the portable laptop table, aside from the fact that my laptop is in the big electronic store in the sky, and I doubt the desktop would fit on that thing.
    3. Bigfoot is the hands-down winner of this round. Please, can this become a regular feature on HTP?

  • JennsAdventures April 14, 2011, 9:44 am

    bwaaaaahahahahaha!!! ohh sky miles magazine.. the best part of layovers! Hoping your travels have been smooth ~ Welcome home:)

    PS: what about creating a GOTR “after” program? a way to KEEP in touch? Then there could be reunions etc.. just a thought!

  • Ash @ Good Taste Healthy Me April 14, 2011, 9:44 am

    lol omg is this stuff for real? This looks absolutely ridiculous! These remind me of gag gifts or something. So expensive for complete crap.

  • Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman April 14, 2011, 9:45 am

    Um, Bigfoot’s definitely creepiest. Last time we flew, my husband found a little bridge that goes over a creek that he wanted. Not that we have a creek. Or a backyard.

  • Maryea {Happy Healthy Mama} April 14, 2011, 9:45 am

    hahahaahaha!! Gotta love Skymall! 🙂

  • Amanda April 14, 2011, 9:47 am

    Skymall is hilarious. We bought a windshield cover for my uncle for Christmas so he wouldn’t have to scrap the ice and snow off of it every morning. It arrived about 5 weeks late, but at least they live in Upstate NY where it’s still plenty useful.

  • Casey April 14, 2011, 9:48 am

    What airport did you fly out of? State College? I’m from central PA! Hope you enjoyed your short visit here!

    • Caitlin April 14, 2011, 1:02 pm

      From Williamsport – smallest airport ever! So cute.

  • Keri April 14, 2011, 9:50 am

    I always wondered who would want an aisle seat, besides people who don’t want to crawl over other people to get to the bathroom…..I never thought about the lack of view outside as a plus! I get super motion sick, though, so I need to be able to see outside.

    That cat toilet training thing is hilarious – I better not show that to my boyfriend or he’ll want us to try with our cats!

  • Sarena (The Non Dairy Queen) April 14, 2011, 9:51 am

    I totally want that thing to train my cats to poop in the toilet! I the pooper scooper, so I am all about that one!

  • Kelly April 14, 2011, 9:53 am

    CUTE SHOES!!!!

  • Cait @ Beyond Bananas April 14, 2011, 9:55 am

    Hahahah – Get my that statue of Big Foot please!

    I am more of a window seat gal.. I like to bring my pillow and then lean it up against the window and try to get in a nap.. although it is usually just me closing my eyes trying to will myself to sleep!

  • Carolyn L. April 14, 2011, 9:55 am

    The Sky Mall catalog is my favorite part of flying! Thanks for sharing some funny selections! Maybe I can order a catalog to be sent to my house for laughs at home.

  • Susan April 14, 2011, 10:03 am

    I vote the shopping list printer as largest waste of money – and paper! Srsly. And who writes a list anymore? That’s what text on smart phones is for!

    Randomness, but have you seen this? http://yes.thatcan.be/my/next/tweet/ It’s so fun. I put in your twitter name, and it came back with:

    Time to do something to feel better now. The deletion was on an excuse to get the math.

    • Caitlin April 14, 2011, 1:03 pm

      Hahah that thing is funny!

  • Sarah @ The Pajama Chef April 14, 2011, 10:10 am

    ha i love it! i always wonder who actually keeps sky mall in business. they have the most ridiculous things, but i do really want a map that takes up the wall like they sell!

  • Steph April 14, 2011, 10:14 am

    hahahahaha this was hilarious! i totally spit out my water while reading this. uh oh :/

  • @stampylisa April 14, 2011, 10:16 am

    bwahahaha!! That Design Toscano was started here in IL and for many years there was a store in downtown ARlington Heights, which is the town I grew up in and currently work in, so seeing Bigfoot and other VERY odd things in their windows was the norm!! I’ve browsed in there before. Sadly they closed so no more Coat of Armor standing next to an alligator that is next to a garden table, next to whatever else they carry. Fun. I’ll by flying next weekend again, so I’ll have to take a peek at the latest.

  • Kara April 14, 2011, 10:19 am

    I love Sky Mall so much. If there was a way to train my dog to use the toilet, I would pay 50 bucks for that in an heartbeat. 🙂

    • Judy April 14, 2011, 2:33 pm

      You can train your dog to use the litter box. If it’s small enough to fit in. True, true. A Pekingese and a litter box are now on my Christmas list. 🙂

  • lindsay @ The Reluctant Runner April 14, 2011, 10:20 am

    Sky Mall is awesome! As if it’s not ridiculous enough, there is a book called Sky Maul, which is a spoof on the original!

  • Chelsea April 14, 2011, 10:27 am

    hahah this post is amazing

  • skinnyrunner April 14, 2011, 10:31 am

    how in the world did you find my christmas list?!?

  • Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope April 14, 2011, 10:31 am

    HAHAHA!!! I never heard of Sky Mall before! That’s hilarious… perfect in-flight entertainment! 🙂

  • Ellie @ The Mommyist April 14, 2011, 10:31 am

    I love sky mall. I usually fly jet blue and they don’t have it on their planes so I’m no longer up to date on all their offerings. I’ve always really liked the hot dog toaster, even though I’ve never eaten a hot dog.

  • Errign April 14, 2011, 10:39 am

    I adore this post. Pulling out the Sky Mall is my favorite flying activity. It’s even better about 10 hours into a flight to Asia because then it’s even funnier. Haha 😀

  • Clarissa April 14, 2011, 10:41 am

    The boy wants to get that kitty potter trainer EVERYTIME we see it in skymall. I have to remind him everytime that it’s dumb and that my bathroom is not big enough for that ever to work.

  • Katherine April 14, 2011, 10:43 am

    HAHA I love that the businessman is wearing a suit in bed in order to demonstrate that he is, in fact, a businessman.

  • Tara @ trulysimplebits April 14, 2011, 10:45 am

    I laughed reading this post because I did an almost identical post yesterday! Too funny. I was traveling from California to Florida and had a good laugh at some of the items for sale in the magazine. Who buys these anyway?! 🙂 Glad someone else enjoyed it like I did.

    • Caitlin April 14, 2011, 1:04 pm

      We’re sky mall twinsies!

  • Love Run Travel April 14, 2011, 10:45 am

    Cute shoes and my favourite part of the flight is reading those magazines and finding the silliest items, the big foot statue could really help with door to door solicitors though 🙂

  • Jen @ Jen is Green April 14, 2011, 10:46 am

    i LOVE looking through skymall! the things in there are so hilarious. Amtrak even has one too, just as funny.

  • Laura @ Backstage Pass to Health & Happiness April 14, 2011, 10:48 am

    Haha – awesome post! I adore the SkyMall catalogs each time I fly. I am always amazed at how many hot dog cooking devices there are! I mean really… If you have a microwave or stovetop you’re pretty much set for cooking hot dogs…
    Caitlin, isn’t the cat in the litter quitter ad, super creepy looking? Yikes!
    And LOL the comment about the wedge-shaped pillow! I crack up over that ad each time, too! Knock on wood, I am waiting for the plane ride where some person actually uses one of those. Too funny!

  • Alina @ Duty Free Foodie April 14, 2011, 10:51 am

    Um … I just spent nearly $499 on an automatic cat litter scooper, so $49.99 sounds totally reasonable! If it works – I have heard of people doing this, but I would think you’d have to start with young kittens maybe.

    Have yet to get the cat to use the new automatic box (just set it up last night) but it’s a small price to pay for not scooping litter anymore!

    • Judy April 14, 2011, 2:21 pm

      Love that thing! Great for multiple cats!

  • Anna April 14, 2011, 10:52 am

    It even spells spaghetti FOR you?! I am always REALLY worried I am going to misspell that when I write it down on my grocery list…I have to have it!

  • Amber K April 14, 2011, 10:57 am

    I had no idea there was such a catalog. LOL

  • Brittney April 14, 2011, 10:57 am

    Haha, I’m traveling today and will be on the lookout for that bigfoot sculpture in Skymall. Who DOESN’T need one of those?!

  • Anne April 14, 2011, 11:06 am

    two words: CITI KITTY. http://www.citikitty.com for realz.

  • Khushboo April 14, 2011, 11:13 am

    That’s a pretty stellar breakfast, especially considering you’re on the go! Did it keep you full?

    • Caitlin April 14, 2011, 1:05 pm

      Until like, 10 AM (so 4 hours).

  • Jo @ Jo In the Kitchen April 14, 2011, 11:13 am

    Hahaha! You’ve got to wonder who buys some of that stuff. I’m guessing they put most of it in there as a joke 😉

  • Katie @ Nourishing Flourishing April 14, 2011, 11:14 am

    BAHAHA! Wow, totally putting the Bigfoot on my Christmas list… 😉

  • McKella April 14, 2011, 11:17 am

    Oh, Skymall. Who the heck buys this stuff?

  • jen @ taste life April 14, 2011, 11:27 am

    I am still cracking up over the Sky Mall’s options! I actually think if someone would give me the Litter Kwitter I’d try it out on my cats! I can’t tell which is more useless, though, the bigfoot sculpture or the list-printer.

  • gabriella @ embracement April 14, 2011, 11:28 am

    Sky mall cracks me up. I wish I had come up with half of those things!

  • Sonia (the Mexigarian) April 14, 2011, 11:29 am

    I love flipping through the sky mall magazine on planes. Amuses me for a while 🙂 Hubby actually did buy something out of skymall. The gigantic crossword puzzle that you have to put on your wall. He bought two of them. One for us, er him, and the other for his grandparents. I have yet to see any them up on either of our walls. Which is fine by me 🙂

  • Jenny @ Fitness Health and Food April 14, 2011, 11:33 am

    Haha! I love that you used Skymall as an inspiration for a post!

    Too funny! 🙂

  • Rachel @ The Perseverance Diaries April 14, 2011, 11:36 am

    Hahaha, I LOVE Skymall! Who needs to do deep breathing techniques to avoid panic attacks on airplanes when you can distract yourself with Skymall? My personal favorite is the Big Foot statue, it’s really classy and totally wouldn’t scare the neighbors.

  • Katy (The Singing Runner) April 14, 2011, 11:37 am

    Haha…definitely had me laughing! 😉

  • Runeatrepeat April 14, 2011, 11:41 am

    Ben’s brother is terrified of Big Foot and every Christmas he considers buying him that statue.

  • Liz @ Tip Top Shape April 14, 2011, 11:42 am

    omg that Big Foot sculpture is too funny!!! hahaha

  • Kristina @ spabettie April 14, 2011, 11:43 am

    I had no idea that yeti was so bashful…

  • Amy April 14, 2011, 11:45 am

    My husband brought home SkyMall from his last flight to show me the kitty ad! Too funny. I wish I believed in it.

  • jassy April 14, 2011, 11:48 am

    love the shoes :)…

    that airplane reminds me of the plane i rode last week…they look the same except of coursethe color… 🙂

  • Theodora April 14, 2011, 11:53 am

    See, I am a panicky flyer, too, and I HAVE to have the window seat so that I can see exactly what’s going on at any second of the flight. (This backfires when we fly into clouds and I can’t see a damn thing.)

  • Kris April 14, 2011, 11:58 am

    I have to admit I’ve laughed at the Skymall items, but actually, the grocery list thing would be really great for my mom. She has a neurological disorder that makes using her hands impossible, and has no way of writing a grocery list down. I think this device or similar might be great for people w/ disabilities, but yeah, the rest of us could just write it down 🙂

    • Caitlin April 14, 2011, 1:07 pm

      ah ha! That would be a great tool for your mom then 🙂 You should buy it – you get free airmiles, too!

  • Melissa @ Be Not Simply Good April 14, 2011, 12:00 pm

    Funny! Wow, I’d fall asleep if I tried to work while lying down.

  • Kate (What Kate is Cooking) April 14, 2011, 12:04 pm

    Please tell me you bought that statue of Bigfoot… that is so creepy but awesome, haha!

  • Lili April 14, 2011, 12:16 pm

    Can’t never go wrong (entertainment) w/ Skymall! One of my favs is the wrist cell phone carrier!

    I had to do a google image search:
    http://images54.fotki.com/v1593/photos/8/1742918/9391773/DSCN0380-vi.jpg

    Love your shoes too! And congrats on another successful work trip!

  • Amy Ramos April 14, 2011, 12:19 pm

    Ok, you need to see the episode of Parks and Recreation where one of the characters buys everything from Sky Mall for their camping retreat:

    http://www.hulu.com/watch/225300/parks-and-recreation-camping

  • Paige @Running Around Normal April 14, 2011, 12:20 pm

    That is SO awesome of you to take such an early flight to make your GOTR session. Commitment 😀

  • TiffanyS April 14, 2011, 12:26 pm

    Im LOVING the potty training system. I wish my cats could do that!

    But I do have a question… Do you ever feel weird taking pictures like that in public? Sometimes I feel like that world is staring at me when I take pictures in public.

    • Caitlin April 14, 2011, 1:07 pm

      Sometimes but not a lot. 🙂

  • Lizz April 14, 2011, 12:39 pm

    i love your shoes- so cute!

  • Christine April 14, 2011, 12:45 pm

    Too funny! My favorite Skymall item has to be the “Siamese Slanket” it like a snuggie for two people http://shop.theslanket.com/the-slanket-siamese

    • Caitlin April 14, 2011, 1:07 pm

      This one also almost made the cut – lol!

  • Natalia - a side of simple April 14, 2011, 12:48 pm

    I’m convinced that Sky Mall is for entertainment purposes only. It’s probably supposed to relieve stress because how can anything bad really happen to you when the last thing you’ve read is Sky Mall? 😉

  • Miranda @ working mom works out April 14, 2011, 12:53 pm

    Those are all insanely creepy things. Big foot might be the worst.

  • Abby April 14, 2011, 12:53 pm

    I love your sarcasm! 🙂

  • Jaclyn April 14, 2011, 12:58 pm

    LOL, too funny! I need that Bigfoot sculpture. The kids next door would LOVE it!

    My BFF actually bought the Litter Kwitter for her cat. He was all over it for the first step of the process but lost interest after that. Typical cat.

  • Joanna@ Drizzle of Sunshine April 14, 2011, 1:05 pm

    HA! Pretend you’re on a bus? You’re funny. I have panic attacks and need to try that. I usually try to tackle my fear head on and stare out the window until it goes away. Odd but it works. And I totally make enough time on any flight to look at sky mall…those things are so useless but awesome! hahah if I were rich, I’d buy everything!

  • Stephanie April 14, 2011, 1:08 pm

    HA! I need that Bigfoot sculpture in my life…ah-may-zing.

    But, seriously, I actually know people who trained their cats to use the toilet. If mine wasn’t such an evil furry overlord, I’d try it, but I think he’d prefer to make a new bed out of ribbons of toilet paper. lol

  • Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife April 14, 2011, 1:22 pm

    hahaha! I need that laptop thingie for work while laying down….for reals, though. Have a safe flight!

  • Erin @ Big Girl Feats April 14, 2011, 1:27 pm

    I seriously love reading the Sky Mall magazine for that reason. I’m flying in July and want to go now!

  • Christine @ Merf In Progress April 14, 2011, 1:34 pm

    “Windows are for the brave people who don’t have to just pretend like they’re sitting in a bus, not a plane, in order to avoid a panic attack.”

    That’s funny! I have to sit in a window seat so I can look out and see actual proof that we are not about to turn upside down.

  • Jill E. April 14, 2011, 1:35 pm

    i totally clumped yogurt in as a “liquid”, i have the worst luck with TSA and always get random things taking away. did you go through security with that yogurt?

    • Caitlin April 14, 2011, 3:36 pm

      I ate it before going through security – its a gel so you can’t get it through!

  • Mary @ Bites and Bliss April 14, 2011, 1:38 pm

    SkyMall’s hilarious!! Some of the stuff’s useful..but most of it’s pretty questionable.

  • Sarah R April 14, 2011, 1:52 pm

    My husband loves Sky Mall. I honestly think that he thinks it’s the best part about flying. I think he would subscribe if they offered it.

  • Michelle@crazyrunninglegs April 14, 2011, 1:57 pm

    This post made me LOL. I always wonder who buys that crazy stuff. Someone has to!

    Cute shoes — where are they from/brand? (you might have answered this already — hello comments!!)

    • Caitlin April 14, 2011, 3:37 pm

      I got them from Marshalls but a year ago 🙁 Thanks!

  • Liz April 14, 2011, 2:00 pm

    My boyfriend and I always play “if you had to buy something…what would it be?” for each page of SkyMall.

    Bahaha. Actually, if I had a cat I’d probably buy that. Not having a litter box would be worth it. The others though are just bizarre.

  • Judy April 14, 2011, 2:09 pm

    Well, there’s Sky Mall – and then there’s Train Mall! Something for everyone. Yep, sure enough folks you too can take Train Mall home if you want – hey it’s free!

    Hey now! I’m potty training my cat. If it works, it’s totally worth the $50.

  • erica April 14, 2011, 2:59 pm

    omg. the bigfoot one. that is the BEST! i wonder how many sales they get!

    I traveled a lot when I was working back East, and I had the same kind of stress issue. To beat the stress (or just reduce it) I kept a “care kit” with me at all times, and used it to establish an in-flight routine. My kit contained two bags of my favorite tea, a granola bar, some almonds, a book, pen and paper, batteries, a picture of my cat, and an eye mask. I also always had my iPod with me, and I made sure it was fully charged. Knowing that I had these items, and a familiar routine utilizing them, totally helped me relax between terminals.

    I used to love flipping through the SkyMall on flights but recently someone told me that you shouldn’t even pick it up b/c it’s loaded with germs. I guess it makes sense considering how many people pick it up…but then again that could be true on the seats too.

  • Megan @ On the Road Again April 14, 2011, 3:54 pm

    I LOVE skymall! My husband and I always play the same game when we’re on a flight together. We try to see who can find the most useless and expensive item first!

  • Emily @ Comfortable Home Life April 14, 2011, 4:06 pm

    AHAHA I swear they put the SkyMall magazine in flights strictly for entertainment/distraction purposes. There CANNOT be people who buys that stuff.
    PS: your shoes – SO CUTE.

  • Nina @ SLO Foodie April 14, 2011, 4:17 pm

    SkyMall fan right here! I need to find an excuse to fly somewhere soon so I can get my SkyMall fix, ha. :p

  • Brittany @ Pretty Fit, Pretty Healthy, Pretty Happy April 14, 2011, 4:37 pm

    I would probably have nightmares if I walked into someone’s bathroom and saw their cat using the toilet! Eek.
    Also, unrelated to SkyMall, but still weird, I saw an infomercial for a chair that folds up and fits in your pocket. You know, in case you have a sitting emergency.

    • Caitlin April 14, 2011, 4:40 pm

      hahaha i have sitting emergencies all. the. time.

  • Missy April 14, 2011, 4:42 pm

    I LIVE for Skymall.
    Oh my.
    I get it.
    It’s fabulous in so many ways.
    From the $5.00 pants tape for your heels to the $4500 outdoor wine cooler. It’s all things that make you go hmmmmm…

  • Jen @ keepitsimplefoods April 14, 2011, 5:42 pm

    Love me some Sky Mall! So unintentionally hilarious and entertaining!

  • Molly @ RDexposed April 14, 2011, 5:44 pm

    I love your pink flats!
    And how many cats do you think would end up falling and drowing in that toilet?

  • Kate Z. April 14, 2011, 5:51 pm

    Oh my God I thought I was the only person who tried to pretend I’m on a bus instead of a plane… Haha. My favorite skymall item is the at-home cervical traction device that easily attaches over any doorframe. Who needs a professional to manipulate the c-spine anyways?

  • Erin @ WholesomeRD April 14, 2011, 7:06 pm

    Can I just be random and say I looove your little red flats? So cute!! 🙂

  • Dee April 14, 2011, 7:39 pm

    I love SkyMall! Just like you portrayed it, it is more entertainment than an actual possible-shopping experience!

  • Annie@stronghealthyfit April 14, 2011, 7:48 pm

    Sky Mall is hilarious- good picks! I would never have guessed you have anxiety when flying- you hide it well! I don’t like flying either, but I love to travel ;-(

  • Kristen April 14, 2011, 9:44 pm

    hahaha those items are AMAZING! maybe xmas gifts?!?! (jk)

  • Brittany in TX April 14, 2011, 9:50 pm

    Sky Mall definitely gives me a lot of laughs on flights!!! Some of the products are absolutely ridiculous! I wonder who sits around and thinks up these products!

  • Jolene (www.everydayfoodie.ca) April 14, 2011, 11:26 pm

    Ahhh, I love Skymall 🙂

  • kelly April 14, 2011, 11:37 pm

    My co-worker actually bought the cat training thing

  • ari April 15, 2011, 11:22 am
