Tales from Grand Cayman

THE BEST AND WORST OF SKYMALL

Okay hands up, who enjoys a leisurely browse through Sky Mall on route to their chosen destination? On my way to Grand Cayman this weekend I found myself drawn to the inflight magazine’s version of the shopping channel. With it’s endless supply of weird and wonderful items it’s a great way to entertain. For those who haven’t picked up a copy in a while, I thought I’d relay what’s hot and what’s not in the airline shopping scene.

"Big Foot the Garden Yeti" Sculpture ($98.95)
With his characteristically big feet, our over two-foot- tall Garden Yeti will have guests doing a double-take as they admire your creative gardening style! With alleged sightings the world over from the highest Himalayas to the northwest United States, this elusive, mythical legend has been captured exclusively for toscano in quality designer resin and finely hand-painted for startling realism. (12 lbs.) 19 1/2" W x 19" D x28 1/2" H.


Jumpin Jammerz ($59.99-$76.99)
For the 'big kid' in all of us, now the same footed pajamas you loved when you were a child are available in adult sizes!
For those hot summer days and nights at the cottage, our classic footed pajamas are now made with the same MOISTURE ABSORBING fabric technology used in the latest yoga and sportswear.
Soft, lightweight, and breathable, this amazing fabric is also antibacterial--so you stay clean and cool as you fly into style and comfort!!

"The Zombie of Montclaire Moors" Sculpture ($89.95)
Not for the faint of heart, this Toscano-exclusive, life-size, gray-toned zombie will claw his way out of your garden plot, office, or family room corner, pleading for assistance with the most lifelike eyes you've ever seen.
Captured in meticulous detail in quality designer resin and finished so realistically that you'll swear you can hear him breathing! Arrives in 3 pieces.(13 lb.)

Carry eyewitness in your pocket ($149.99)
Click this pen and it doesn't just write words it records video. With a tiny color camera and microphone, it makes AVI movies with sound and stores them in 2GB of internal memory. Nobody needs to know that you're recording. USB cable connection lets you transfer data to your computer. By the way, this pen writes, too.
