Fond memories of the Avon Lady

I was watching tv this morning and just started having fond memories of the Avon Lady that used to go door to door. "Ding Dong, Avon Calling!" There's such nostalgia attached to that. I remember looking through the books and wanting to buy so many things, then I'd ask mom and she'd let me have enough money to buy one or two things. I had a lot of the perfume, the lip balms, and of course the jewelry. It was always fun when the Avon Lady came back with my bag of items. It was kind of like Christmas or my birthday. It wasn't very expensive and it was nice stuff so I could do it fairly often. I wish it was still like that, but like everything else, Avon's prices went up. It's still rather affordable but it's not as much as before. I still love it and have 2 of the perfumes sitting on my living room shelf as we speak. I just miss the way it used to be when I was little. Anybody else remember Avon Ladies from back in the day?

Wow. There's Avon Lady also in your country? In our country, Avon Lady serves house to house to sell cosmetics products. It's the same in USA?

Yes! Avon is practically EVERYWHERE! That Avon Lady going house to house is universal to the Avon company no matter which country it's located in. I remember when I realized that Avon is global it was a surprising moment.

@sickofbeingick22 Oh! I'm not aware that Avon as a company is spreading worldwide. I only know now that this is not only in my country. Lol.

My sister-in-law still sells Avon products. I used to order stuff for my mom through her. (Mom passed away in 2002, so I can't buy her stuff anymore. My daughter has never been interested in that type of thing.)

I never saw Avon products being sold like this. But I have observed many ladies who sell their products by going door to door.

I was an Avon lady and I did not have a car and went around on my bicycle to the houses with my baby boy on the back of my bike in a child seat.

Yes, I do remember a lady coming to my parent's house and showing us the last catalogue, my Mom did not buy much. I also remember the Fueller Brush man coming and the Watkins man (who was my uncle)

Yes I definitely remember the Avon lady and how much I loved their catalogs and products. I love looking through their catalog and wishing I could buy more than I did. Would you believe my Avon lady was a man? Yup I had a male Avon representative and he did great selling Avon.
