When I heard that SkyMall filed for bankruptcy and would be shutting their doors in a few months, I will admit that I was a little sad. I may not have ever purchased anything out of their magazine, but I sure did get a kick out of seeing what random things they had to offer. That may be one of the many reasons they are closing down. It provided a nice and relaxing way to window shop, while passing the time on your way to the next destination. However I’m sure I’m not the only one who didn’t buy anything from the magazine, hence why SkyMall is closing its doors. For nostalgic sake, lets take a look at 17 products they offered that are ridiculously awesome!
1. Globe With A Hidden Bar Inside – Great for small spaces or people with too much money – $189.00
2. Men’s Body Shaper – As if not fitting into the same size you wore in high school doesn’t make you feel bad, put this on and you’ll feel great, I’m sure! – $60.00
3. It Is What It Is Bracelet – Basically summing up any drunk purchase you ever made from SkyMall – $19.95
4. Doggie Hooded Poncho – It’d be unfortunate for a dog to get a little wet in the rain – $39.95 – $49.95
5. Glowing Toilet Seat – I actually think this is a great idea for any late night trips to the bathroom – $49.99
6. Hovertrax – These fancy wheels max out at 5mph. Or you know…. you could just walk to where you’re going. – $995.99
7. Self-Cleaning Litter Box – This looks like it’s either from an unknown planet or the moon. I know, it’s a cat MRI! I’ll just keep scooping poop. – $339.99
8. The One Of A Kind Shirt – No two shirts were the exact same when they made these, containing a plethora of colors & patterns. – $129.99 – $199.99
9. Peacock Statue – Maybe peacocks are your thing. This also looks like it could be purchased at the dollar store, but to each their own! – $69.95
10. Sumo Wrestler Table – Maybe you have an Asian decoration theme in your home and this will fit perfectly! – $249.00
11. Egyptian Throne – Be treated like the king or queen of your house when you sit in this throne! I’m sure it matches most decor. – $1250.00
12. Cobra Head Walking Stick – Life just wouldn’t be complete without this! – $69.95
13. Welcome Duck Sign – I don’t know if this is welcoming or maybe a warning sign to turn around and run. – $24.95
14. NFL Team Wine Holder – Pretty fancy wine holder! – $36.99
15. Glowing Zipline – Just in case you feel the need for a late night ride on a zip line, SkyMall has you covered. – $199.99
16. Kid’s Shoulder Carrier – Because using your hands to balance your kids on your shoulders is a lot of work! – $99.99
17. Seabreacher – This thing actually looks amazing! See the video of it in action below. – $85,000.00
Some of these SkyMall products are kind of cool, like the Seabreacher, but what is the point of that space aged kitty litter box. I wonder what they had to do to get the cat to stay in there long enough to get a picture! I am a little sad that SkyMall is closing its doors, but considering all of the random stuff they sell and the price tag that follows, I can’t say it’s that big of a surprise! I hope they replace it with something just as entertaining, or you may get extra bored on your next flight.
