Hanover House '67 Gift Guide (PART ONE)

What'cha gettin' everyone this xmas? What? Still undecided?! Well, then flip through these pages of the Hanover House Gift Guide from 1967 and maybe you'll find something fun to give to that special someone-- or just maybe you'll find some neato stuff for yourself to make your holiday cooler and less of a headache. Hanover House was based out of Hanover, PA and like the other competitor mail order joints of the era (see Sunset House HERE and HERE in the AEET Archive) they had a seemingly endless supply of cool gadgets and funny festive junk to keep you coming back for more each and every year. Todays post consists of items from their color catalog pages and are full of really great little illustrations and kitsch. I'll have more from the rest of the black and white pages in our next post (could be two more posts, we'll see how it goes-- plus I'm blowing everything up 300%!)
