Not much for me lately. I ordered stronger readers for my father-in-law and a Frozen costume (Elsa) for my granddaughter.
More recently than those, I ordered from Costco. The collagen was delivered Saturday ($6 off per can!) and the skort will come today. I bought the Columbia skort in white at the store a few weeks ago and have loved it so much, I ordered the black too.

My 2 youngest prefer taking home lunches to school, and they love the dutch pancakes but they can get expensive, so I bought a dutch pancake grill to make and freeze my own. I also finally found a pair of sunglasses to go over my regular glasses that are halfway cute. Other than that, we tend to just reorder our regular stuff.

In 2024, I have bought from Amazon: * Drain clog removal tool (I wound up having to call maintenance for our building anyway, but these were somewhat useful, and also disgusting) * Mr. Pen retractable highlighters (not a fan; they seem to have leaked a little in transit) * Keyboard/mouse combo * Wrist rest for said keyboard * Dash cam and micro SD card for said dash cam * Carry-on backpack that I really didn't need, but like * Neoprene mat for under Bessie's food dish (which she LOVES lifting the edge of hearing it slap on the linoleum floor at 2:38 in the morning...) * Headphone adapter since my phone doesn't have an earbud plug in (why phones got rid of this, I don't know... I like my wired earbuds, tyvm) * Mini fanny pack that I'll wear across my chest (we had talked about a day in NYC, and I didn't want to carry a purse... we still haven't gone) * Machine washable litter mat (game changer!) * New litter box * New litter scoop * Cable for my phone to connect to our car (our old one was super finicky and we're hoping to do a trip soon and I like having navigation on my screen and not just having the audio)

I bought a set of two "monitor memo boards". They are the clear 3' wide acrylic strips that adhere to the side of your monitor, for post it notes, etc. As soon as I debuted them at work, literally EVERYONE wanted a pair. They are really handy.
Also: a new cordless drill some teeny tiny jigsaw puzzles that come in a test tube. put together they are only 4x6", so you can do them anywhere! lava rocks for my succulents a pineapple corer - works great! dog treats

it's interesting how our Amazon purchases reflect what's going on in our life, isn't it?? in the past few months: -- Lenny and Larry's vegan breakfast cookies (variety pack, so I could taste all the different flavors) -- 8-sided washable waterproof pad and 8-sided indoor dog playpen, plus extra washable underpads Our oldest dog just got diagnosed with kidney disease, so he has to pee a lot more often. (we were having to wash pee-soaked rugs and were stepping in random pee puddles) -- bamboo soap dish for the shower- to help my DH's favorite bourbon & tobacco soap last longer -- book The Starch Solution and a good-quality vegetable peeler set -- Ninja foodi air fryer and a Ninja food processor/blender (been wanting both of these for years and finally decided to get them) I bought a set of two "monitor memo boards". They are the clear 3' wide acrylic strips that adhere to the side of your monitor, for post it notes, etc. As soon as I debuted them at work, literally EVERYONE wanted a pair. They are really handy. I am one of those people who put post-it notes everywhere, so these sound like a really good thing to have!!

I hate to think of my stress level if I'd had to drive around to all those stores to buy all that in person. LOL, I’m pretty sure I could knock off at least 90% of your list at two stops, Costco and Target. I’m very much an in person shopper, I hate waiting even two days for the stuff I want to show up. Plus if I buy it today and have it today, I don’t have to worry about something getting lost in transit or stolen off of my porch when the sub delivery people don’t read their notes (or the GIANT message written on my front steps with sidewalk chalk!) to “PLEASE put all packages inside the deck box!” With a huge arrow pointing to the aforementioned deck box on our porch. 🙄 Drives me nuts when they leave stuff right in the middle of the front stoop in plain sight from the road. To answer the OP though, this is what I have bought from Amazon that I couldn’t get locally very easily. - 80 qt pink Permasteel patio cooler, been watching for one of these since last summer to come down to a price I was willing to pay. - bakery boxes with clear lids - coffee machine cleaning tablets for DH - 4 pack of the deodorant I like, since no local stores sell it anymore, WTH? - a pink skirt that DD had on her wish list, popped up for 1/2 off so I bought it for her - portable Apple Watch charger to charge my watch on the go (bought on Prime Day, so a while ago) I tend to make more impulse purchases on Woot.com (which is a division of Amazon).

My last order was a clear pail and a catch and release plastic beach aquarium kit for my sister-in-law’s birthday in October. She loves to try and catch little fish at our camp a check them out and then release them…more so than the kids did. 😄. So this is just a little something to open for her birthday in addition to the money that I typically give her to blow however she wants.
Before that it was the teacher stuff. I go in cycles. I buy a bunch and then I go quite awhile without getting anything, especially as I am now on a get rid of/clear things out movement at home.

You mean you're not surrounded by post its of various shapes and colors and notes that you swore you'd remember what they meant as you write them down? (God the quick quote feature on here could use some work.)

I left my glasses at home for the second time this year yesterday, and it drove me mad. If I hadn't been driven to the pub for lunch by the in-laws, I would have got back in the car and driven home to get them. Last night, determined not to be caught that way again, I bought a pair of almost-credit-card-sized foldable cheaters from Amazon. They arrived today and have been installed in a pocket in my handbag. I am officially old.

Peace Sign I long for the day where I can have both a dry erase board and corkboard above my workspace. One day, when we're not renters anymore, and I have a craft room/office, that will be on my list! RedSquirrelUK I got my parents a 3-pack of readers from Costco last year for Christmas since they're always sharing and losing them... When DH and I went to visit them recently, they admitted they've already lost them... why they just can't keep a pair or two in each room, I don't know.
