Who gets tons of catalogs in the mail? Me!!! A fun way to recycle the catalogs is to use them as wrapping paper. I keep the ones with pretty pictures and backgrounds like this one from Anthropologie. Add a few personal touches and viola! It's also a fun project to do with the kids.

P.S. - Every mom should have this book in their purse, kindle, car, nightstand, or closet. You never know ;-)
