October-December 1986: Garfield phone
As we celebrate 40 years of Australian Giftguide magazine we take a look back at some of the more memorable products to have graced our pages.
Everyone’s favourite lazy cat became a merchandising phenomenon in the 1980s and was even available as a telephone. Garfield’s eyes stayed closed when the phone was not in use but opened when taken off the hook. It retailed for about $200 and was distributed by Phonies.
