Hmm, that's kind of what catalogs were created a long time ago - so people could browse product offerings and order them.

IKEA, La Redoute, and many other companies used this approach, and people literally had these in their living rooms so themselves, their family, or even guests would have something to fiddle with.

Catalogs are marketing tools, and usually come out of marketing budget.
