Catalog

Info
The catalog is a feature that appears in all games. It is a feature in Tom Nook's Store and Timmy and Tommy's store in that allows players to browse all items they have bought or received as gifts. Most of these items can be purchased from the catalog, but some items, such as fossils and gyroids, are not available for purchase. The catalog keeps track of furniture, carpets, wallpaper, gyroids, fossils, clothes, umbrellas, accessories, stationery, tools ( only), and music ( only). Exclusive items such gifts from Tortimer, Katie and Gulliver cannot be purchased, though they do appear in the catalog. Items ordered via the catalog will be mailed to the player at the next mail delivery, and in and, will award Nook Points. The catalog will be transferred from to  if, during the start of the latter game, the player imports their character from the DS game.

Obtaining
In New Leaf, the catalog is unlocked by gaining the first upgrade to Timmy & Tommy's store, T&T Mart, which has a machine to allow the player to order items the player had previously obtained. Unlike previous games, artwork cannot be ordered through the catalog. However, the catalog is in alphabetical order, and includes a search function to allow the player to find a specific item more easily.
