What if tomorrow a catalog arrived?

What if tomorrow a catalog arrived and it was the Sears Christmas catalog from 1971 and by some miracle you could order things in it and they would be sent thru time.

What would you buy?

Check out the 1971 Sears Christmas and many other catalogs at this site:

It's about 2/3 of the way down. The other catalogs are interesting also but I like the 1971 one for the awesome clothes. Check out page 480.
 
Forget about the sci fi aspect. The point of this thread is to get people to look at the 1971 catalog (or others) get a good laugh and think about what items would be worth having today. Either as antiques or as a durable good that you cant get anymore.
 
In the 1952 and 1953 Sears catalogs, you could order an automobile :cool::)

In certain years, you could also buy scooters, mopeds, and motorcycles.

AND, in the 1966 catalog, I was pleasantly surprised to spot SNOWMOBILES!!!!!!!!
