By far, hands down, one of our favorite things about flying domestically is the ever-changing wonderful amazing world of Skymall, the seat-back catalog of all things bizarre and absurd. Here are our nine favorite Skymall objets of the moment:
· The Meerkat Gang Sculpture is over two feet tall, and a deal at just $85
· This Basha the Sumo Wrestler Table is cast in quality designer resin and topped with tempered glass, allowing views from any angle, only $225
· An Elephant Sculptural Sconce adds a touch of the wild to any living area, and it only $29.95, but just doesn't go with our decor.
· The original Ark of the Covenant was built in accordance with Moses' vision at Mt. Sinai. This one is a deal in comparison, at only $69.95.
· Ever wonder why you couldn't just vacuum your pet? Well, now you can, using the Ecowash Animal Bathing System, only $999.
· Own a small pool not long enough to do laps in? Turn on your very own Swim Current Generator and swim to nowhere, against the current, for only $3,695. Best yet? It's portable—use it on your next vacation at the hotel pool.
· Ever want to just, you know, get in a box? How about a box filled with infrared rays? Now you can, with the Personal Infrared Sauna, yours for only $499.
· Farmer's tan be gone! No more worrying that you missed your ankles while self-tanning or accidentally wore ankle socks while outdoor all afternoon. The Solafeet Foot Tanner is here to the rescue, only $230.
· When Harry Potter looked in the Mirror of Erised, he saw his parents looking back at him, as if they were still alive. You can get one for just $69, but we're pretty sure you'll just see yourself.
