A tub of 80 fuses
Internet purchase where it was twice the cost of 1 fuse? I now have an excessively sized box of split pins for this reason, and it is very useful if I need a split pin. Or something can be inventively fixed with a split pin.
Boot dryer was probably last year's best purchase, and I featured it in this blog post...

You can still get ones like this off Amazon for about £25 AFAIK.
This year, probably a one-ride old Maxxis Assegai in Maxxgrip with the Double Down carcass off eBay. All the grip, all the time.
27” Iiyama monitor for WFH
3 bespoke willow panels for the end of the garden to separate us from our dim neighbours who think it’s ok to clap for carers and then have the entire street round for a party every Thursday!
Garden bench, to sit and admire said willow panels.
Folding squat rack and weights for the garage.
(Sorry couldn’t chose one!)

I need some wire for a doorbell. I can only find what I want in 100m rolls. If anyone needs a 97m roll of wire, let me know.
North Face hut booties for the Mrs and I. Warm feet revolution.
Gore C3 tights. They have a windproof crouch area 👌

New primitive class bow.
You must be a better shot than me looking at the colour of those arrows.
I'm not sure if for a lot of people it is in the spirit of the primitive class, I imagine their are a few trying to come up with wording to exclude bows like that
Not sweaty for me, mind you I've not used them above 10 degrees yet.
But what about your crouch? Can you use them when just sitting on your bike?

Stumpy you must tell us where these magical blankets can be found. Mrs PF also likes the house like a sauna.
@alexpalacefan - only just seen this.
Here's a link below, although there's tons of alternatives. They were on offer when I started looking around mid-Jan, so it doesn't appear to be a 'flash' sale.
I thought it was expensive for what it is, but it's really well made & should last bloody ages!
Just pre-ordered the new Rudimentary Peni CD. So that, probably.
@johnners yep it’s just an adapter not sure how hard a life they’ve had as in mint/ near mint condition. I’m also not entirely sure how correct that is with the torque as I’m new to this vinyl thing and was just a random website/ vinyl fan who had a history of the different formats and a description of the adapter I was looking for!

It's probably safe to say it's more likely to be the large contact area between the record face and the platter that rotates the disc rather than an interference fit with the spindle. If nothing else such a tight fit would make them a bugger to get on and off your turntable!
Definitely coffee - Pact and Rave subscriptions. Really opened my eyes to the difference between supermarket coffee and (even modestly) more premium products, and enjoyed discovering the different flavours!
The PS5 I managed to get at the end of January...
That and Spare Ribs by the Sleaford Mods ( coloured vinyl and fancy sleeve that you wouldn’t get by downloading it 😜 )
Occulus Quest 2 - ridiculously good value. havent touched the xbox in a frtnight. WW1 era dogfights from the comfort of your office chair - wheeeeeee!
I thought the only reason people got the Occulus Quest was for the added benefit of having an in-built browser. For browsing for, ahem, things. Things that are now available in simulated 3D.
Tempur contour pillow.
Been meaning to try one for years, and I wish I had, it is brilliant. Lockdown sleeps have been long and comfy and I no longer have intermittent fights with my pillow during the night or wake up with a stiff neck.
That, and all the vinyl I've been getting delivered from my local record shop and the odd bits of hi-fi kit off ebay.
My Attelier Slash kite.
Not been able to go to the beach during this latest lockdown, but the nearby football field is OK.
Nice addition to the rest of my kite fleet!

Race poncho - cleared down my stack of old race tshirts and have something a bit lighter than a dryrobe to muck about in after races (or whenever) - and the OH should now be able to spot where I've wandered off to, as race tshirts tend towards the hiviz.... Think the Coat Of Many Colours
