    Well, let's see: a container of Community Coffee that my wife tasted at Cowboy Christmas Gift Show and liked it. Unfortunately, at the Show, they didn't have any of the Instant.
    A Chipolo One (blue) for my wife. We got a free black one for paying for 5 years of Guidepoint (vehicle tracker) for the 2021 Dodge Durango GT. The Chipolo connects, by Bluetooth, to an iPhone, and can find iPhone and keys it's hanging on (thru the Chipolo App).

    Oops, sorry, missed the “online” part. My most recent online purchase was wind spinner. Something pretty to look out the window at.

    Ordered a battery maintainer for my truck, a needlepoint kit, and menthol crystals to have on hand for congestion.

    I got a soundbar a few years ago. Whenever I watched a movie, the dialogue was so low I’d turn the volume up and then get blasted with sound when the music or other sound effects played. Now I just push the magic button on my soundbar, and the dialogue is just perfect.

    So glad you got a needlepoint kit! I saw on the hobbies thread that you used to do that a lot. Can’t wait to see the finished result.

    I ordered a coat for my son, a big thick parka because all his other coats are too light weight for really cold weather. So I was upset when it arrived on the door step in a plastic package the size of a football. Then I opened it and it started to grow as it filled with air. :eek:

    My son watched all this so he knows what he's getting for Christmas if he hadn't already seen all the e-mails on our shared computer: "Your size 3x winter coat has been ordered. It's being shipped. It's in St. Louis. It's in your home town. It's at your front door." Just like Chicken Heart.

    Just bought a new recumbent exercise bike. My old one was about 20 years old. It still worked well, but I tripped over the cord, yanked it out of the machine, and broke something.

    if I can name shop it’s called
    https://www.dshop.com.au/buy/deluxe...MIyZ68koqngwMVnzODAx34igFNEAQYASABEgJMEvD_BwE

    No notification when it would be delivered ..it turned up two weeks latter

    I’ve contacted them but they don’t or won’t answer emails ….and I’m polite in any Correspondence

    Always have been cause I don’t believe abuse gets you anywhere TBH

    so they gave me no option to leave a polite but negative review …

    it was only delivered a few hours before we left to go away for Christmas ..so it only got a few soft toys put on the self till I get home after Christmas …next week ..

    The boy / girl lamp I’ve had for about 40 years …( never used it it’s been stored away )

    I just put an order in with Ebay for 8 packs of vegetable seeds. 4 Tomato seed, 2 Basil, cuke, and a zucchini. My wife thinks I'm crazy to start plants, she may be right, I don't have the light stand anymore it was destroyed in the fire, I'm going to have to figure something for light and a place to set it up. Starting plant has always been one of my favorite things to do, watching them germinate is exciting. The cuke and zucchini I'll directly seed in the pot or ground.
    I use to get about 30 seed and plant catalogs, last year it was down to 5, because I've slowed down.
    I purchase the seeds on Ebay because the cost is low, just in case I can't start them.
