I spend waaaaaay too much on casual clothes catalog stores like Lands
End, LL Bean and Eddie Bauer, but I can attest they are all excellent
services. The Lands End web site has been, IMHO, one of the best
examples of online shopping services.
My findings over the years are that you will have the best online
shopping experience if you shop at sites that send print catalogs to
your door. You then shop from the print catalog, but instead of
using snail mail or telephone to place your order, you would use the
secure web site. All of three of those catalog order stores will
keep your mailbox full with their catalogs, which come out often
throughout the year. The Lands End catalog is very much like a
magazine, with interesting articles and stories.

Okay, beyond that I would recommend you get a Sharper Image catalog.
I rarely can afford that stuff but it is a fun catalog to receive.
The sell a bunch of fun and neat stuff and much of it is technical in
nature. :-)

The Request a Catalog link is at the bottom of that page.
I have ordered from them for Christmas presents. They do a good job
with their online site.
Linens catalogs are also fun to get, with all the pretty sheets and
comforters. <g> Get yourself a Linen Source catalog:

All the aforementioned clothing stores have linen outlets, too, so
you can get their catalogs, i.e. Lands Ends' Coming Home Catalog:
http://www.cominghome.com/ <--- that gets redirected to LE
Do you like gourmet coffee? My favorite mail order site now has a
nice web site, but do send for their print catalog:

Last year I ordered a big coffee mug from them and they sent me a
free mug along with it. I thought that was real nice. This year, I
ordered coffee beans and they sent me a free sampler box with about 5
coffee samples. :-)
LOL...it just occurred to me that you can learn a lot about a person
by just asking them where they shop. <g>
