Christmas (Holiday) 2022 Toy Catalogs? (Consoom Toys)

To me it's a little early to be thinking about Christmas - maybe after Halloween would be closer but far enough away for there to be a little extra time. After Thanksgiving might be too close to Christmas for kids to think about toys, or adults about presents.
 
Anyway, so some of the corporations are keeping the "tradition" alive of releasing top toy publications or catalogs. Was it Sears catalogs that used to be put out and were a popular catalog of this kind in the past? Anyone have a history on this?
 
In any event, I do not endorse Walmart or Amazon but link some of their PDFs of this kind of thing as an example. Anyone have other interesting catalog links to drop, toy or holiday gift ideas, or other thoughts on the topic (such as perhaps something to do instead of consumption, alternative "knock off" cheaper or more educational toys for kids, etc.)?

A theory of categories of toys and games
 
Some toys are for adults too, though they may be of a higher quality. Example: a beginner child's guitar versus a classical guitar for an adult. It's interesting to me the "toys" that adults also like to play with, or how children's recreation can overlap with that of adults' recreation.
 
Categories:
 
art / music supplies (music instruments, chalk / pencils / markers, clay, cameras, etc.)
 
dolls / action figures / playsets / accessories (stuffed animals, etc.)
 
furniture
 
vehicles (bikes, motorized, scooters, etc.)
 
remote control (RC) devices (drones, rc cars, etc.)
 
computers and accessories (PC, tablet, ereader, etc.)
 
board or video games (card games, etc.)
 
puzzles
 
building toys or models (lego, knex, model trains, model cars, etc.)
 
play weapons (toy swords, nerf guns, water guns, etc.)
 
physical playsets (swings, slides, houses, etc.)
 
sporting equipment (hoop, trampoline, baseball bat)
 
science toys
 
clothes
 
books
 
If I forgot something, leave a comment to add (this list was based on a quick skim of both linked catalogs)
foods (candy, seasonal items, etc.)

like musical instruments can be "toys" for both kids and adults
