Lost my Christmas mail-order catalogue with scandi stuff and can't remember the name

Possibly now in the recycling! I had a nice mail-order catalogue which started off with scandi things and then traversed other parts of the world. I can't remember its name so can't go online instead. Does anyone have a clue which one it might be - it was very nice! I had even decided to order some things. But now it is gone....one of the things was a swiss epiphany village (relatively unusual so might jog someone's memory)?

I had this but can't for life of me remember what it was called! Mine got chucked in the recycling too. Bit annoyed as there was a lovely Scandi advent calendar which I thought I'd order for next year.

Aha, maybe we need to dive into our recycling bins head first to try to retrieve them! There was a tea towel i liked as well! Very annoying. Still, maybe someone else will remember? (Hopeful)

It was a bit like the Past Times catalogue but arranged by country.....

Thanks insan and cake - both those sites are lovely! But they are not the one - notreally's description is very accurate - it's divided by country. And i think It had a name that was vaguely descriptive of what it is if you see what i mean (rather than a brand).

Should i be pleased that i can't find it, and see it as a message from the universe not to buy any more stuff? But some of it was going to be for presents! Or decorations to bring people joy!

Um, trying to think of something else that might identify it - i think it might have had pancake kits from canada once you got to the north america section.

Where did you get it? Was it a free one with a newspaper/magazine?

Ha, i will do if i find it - but my various search terms have failed me! It might have come through the post or in a newspaper - but it's not like the old days when you used to get five copies of the same catalogue through the post in quick succession! I may now be waiting until next year, hoping for another mail shot.

Ah, i've remembered another thing -four plates with very bright bird designs on them. Can't remember which country that was!
