Shopping Thread .. or What Did You Buy?

Find some things that are a similar size/shape/floppiness, but infinitely cheaper, and wrap those up instead.
 
Pro tip, mary, you should probably send your husband away with some excuse before you open the present under your three shaped like this:

If you lay there under the tree for fifteen days I think he will have already figured you out. No matter how well you wrap a body, by fifteen days it is really gonna stink...or so I've heard.
 
Two more penguins arrived today:

The top one is a Christmas ornament made of wood. The bottom one is a plain black penguin made of marble.

I still have a couple more penguins on the way. One is a vintage brooch and the other is a lapel pin (which for some reason is dark blue rather than black, but I still couldn't resist it).
 
I went into walmart to buy some wood chips for my smoker and bought this for the kids on impluse. $10 for an RC car that flips seemed like a good stocking stuffer.

Definitely a better stocking stuffer than a handful of wood chips would have been. Good job!
 
Since I always get a video game for Christmas, I decided to ask my mother for a Humble Bundle which includes Cities: Skylines. First time I've bought one, though I occasionally grabbed free games from them before.

I promised not to actually play them until the 25th, although it's tempting.

I was just going to get the middle-priced one, but my mother told me to get the expensive one if I wanted it. (I don't understand her sometimes.) Now I have seventeen "thanks for activating your product on Steam!" emails in my inbox.
 
Got me some new golf clubs today :) A Mizuno 919 combo hybrid iron set, 5-6 hybrids with S, G, PW, 9, 8, and 7 irons with Recoil graphite Rflex shafts. If I like the hybrids I'll add a 4
 
SWEET.
I've gone back to steel shaft. Which is weird because as you get older, most desire more flex in the shaft.
Please, no shaft jokes.
 
I'm up to 350 orders on Amazon. I have 19 days left in this month and 15 purchases to make it to 365 for 2019.

I can do this.
 
I have faith.
 
It's Christmas season, of course you can do this. Just start getting presents for random household objects. That's what i do. I've lost count of how many gifts i've given to the DVD player.(i usually buy a massive stack of DVD's around Christmas.)

Thats why I went with the graphite R flex, hopefully increased swing speed, distance and height. But I might be giving up some accuracy and if that happens I could be right back to the KBS steel S flex. The Hot Metal Mizuno I got are for higher handicappers because I couldn't get the tour or forged for low handicappers with the graphite shafts at the lower price, I got them for $600, it'd cost me a $1,000 or more for the other sets.

God I hate buying new clubs, I look at different sets, try them out, try this one, try that one, find what I think feels good and then buy 'em and discover I dont really hit them better than what I already have. But yesterday I made the plunge, I was hitting downhill and down wind (maybe 8-10 mph) a little over 200 yds out and reached the green with the 7i. I was impressed... Even accounting for the conditions I figure I hit it about 160 which is a 10-15 yd improvement.

Do you have one of these? Very handy, I just ordered one. Not this one specifically, just a cheap $15 one off amazon prime.

Just keep ordering kitchen gadgets one at a time. I can think of so many items, get a julienne peeler, pasta drying rack, burger patty press, seasoning shaker, pepper mill (can never have too many), spice grinder, mini food processor/chopper, oil mister, ravioli press, fluted cookie/dough cutter, bench scraper, ramekins, various mixing and measuring bowls, herb stripper, biscuit cutter, dressing bottle, olive oil bottle.
