For better or for worse, kids stuff has come a long way. My only hope it that old-fashioned fun is not forgotten. I know that retailers market to the heartstrings of parents’ past, which it definitely what’s going on here, but I couldn’t help but fall in love with this company’s Christmas catalog.
Maybe it’s the simplicity of using drawings instead of photos, but Duluth Trading Company’s catalog oozes Americana to the core. I can still remember puttering in the garage with my older cousin to build a go-cart of sorts. I wonder if kids today will ever experience that or if they would ever be willing to trade in their Razor scooter for a fruit box on wheels. I’d be curious to see a test market. For the bargain price of $29.99 (marked down from $99.50) maybe it’s worth doing some research with Duluth's Fruit Crate Scooter.
