Several sources: Skymall catalog files for bankruptcy
Skymall, the constant setback companion for decades, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy due to declining revenue.
My significant other liked to read Skymall and snicker while pointing out the most ridiculous do-das and knick-knacks. Shame that nostalgia is hard to pull off as a business model.

Fondly missed. When I flew with colleagues we used to have a contest to find the most useless thing in it.
My favourite was The Tongue Cleaner.
