Buying yourself something daft for christmas?

I’ve been looking at smart watches and I like the look of the LG G Watch R which is quite cool. I fully accept it’s an early version of what smart watches will become though. But still, I’m tempted. It’s utterly pointless and no-one could possibly ever need one…

Obviously that’s an LCD display.

What nonsense thing have you got your eye on?

I’ve also been looking at these…..love the way the digi face looks “real”, online at least!

My brother couldnt wait to get is MotoG watch. He loves it. Im a google nutjob, but think it’s pointless. Mind you I dont wear a watch.

And have just bought these for myself my landrover for xmas 😳

I’ve spent a couple of days trying to talk myself out of buying a Naim Mu-so. I don’t need it, can’t really afford it but can’t honestly say that it’ll not end up sat beneath the TV before xmas.

Off to look at an escort van tomorrow. Mrs went nuts when I told her. But I have always wanted one

I bought myself one of these boot dryers after another thread. Strangely excited.

+1 for the boot drier

mine is “for my wife” though 😆

mine is “for my wife” though

How wet does that woman get, and can she not use a towel?

I almost bought a Cotic Soul tonight. Well it was cheap!

Oooh, yes – just a little daft. Also watch related. Should be delivered just after xmas.

One of these:

Many things as I walked through duty free this afternoon… Just 2 more to go.

Coke & hookers…sorry ,
I’m on the verge of buying a Bosch oscillating saw/mutlitool thing…… 😯

Very nearly bought myself the framed version of this http://www.firebox.com/product/6230/Find-a-Stranger?via=searchbox but realised I’ve nowhere really to put it, and she wouldn’t like it either… Would have been fun explaining it to inlaws tho!

Jones loop bars. The carbon ones…

Not too daft but I’m hoping to buy a second hand set of Lyriks in the new year depending on how much I end up spending over the festive period!

I bought me a Big Muff 🙂

thats a mighty timepiece Jeff!…

think id rather buy a couple of V10’s and Nomad for my buck tho…

I treated myself to two tool chests in the recent Halfords deal and this week a s/h full-suss.

Apparently, well according to my Missus, I ought to wait for Christmas before I open/use them…

Good job she doesn’t know about the 1×10 components that’ll turn up today 🙂

Treated myself to another tattoo on Saturday, last year I had my nipple pierced, wonder what I will do next year..

jeffc, that is stunning.

a house, but without a log burner, so my main present is the log burner installed this week (for Christmas). About 4T of wood waiting for a woodstore to be built for next year, so for my stocking filler, 1T of seasoned hardwood. The wife is buying me an axe…

I just showed Mrs Q. A fat bike and said I want one and I know where to get one that fits me on Thailand (a fund in itself)

I’ve been told to do buy it.

Not yet though add I dint feel nerded up enough yet to know about all the offset hubs and forks

I bought me a Big Muff

tell me more – I have a hankering for one of these to run from my strat….

Beer!

Ok it’s not daft.

A Denon soundbase for tv, after my previous thread got resurrected yesterday…

On the smart watch front. This is the first one that has tempted me..

just ordered a denon dm39 and dali zensors that ive been promising my self after every job ive done offshore this year but never pulled the trigger for various reasons.

Its “our” xmas present since the current piece of crap stereo has crapped out.

to me 300 quid is daft for a stereo – as my current stereo was about 60 quid… and my garage stereo also cost 60 quid….. but i realised as soon as i played some music i know well – even as no audiophile that music was “different” so ive spent the last couple of years rediscovering old music through new speakers. – its an 80s technics amp and 5 disk cd unit with mission m30s all sourced off gumtree/ebay for bargain prices.

I just hope this new set up is even close to the garage kit.

A 29er.

A cheap and burly set of 29er wheels from SSC.

Disappointed when today’s courier turned out to be parcel for wife.

A surfboard. I live in the middle of the country so the nearest decent surf is a long drive away meaning I’ll probably use it a couple of times a year.

Completely different scale to most things here, but I treated myself to a Thermopop quick read thermometer in time for the Xmas turkey. Not that stupid as it’s functional, but £20 for a thermometer is kind of a lot.

New gaming PC should have built it myself but was feeling lazy spent £400 more than I originally budgeted it dawfs my 7 year old box.

That’s a brilliant name, ZEUS EVO THUNDER 2000!1!!

But, dude, it’s nearly 2015!

Oh, and trying to persuade the missus to let us spend an absolute shed-load of cash on the house over the road.

ir_bandito – very generous of you, but why not spend it on your own house? 🙂

Not so daft, but I bought myself a Surly Straggler fork for my commute bike so I can stick some big fat tyres in there 🙂

Toying with getting a chip fitted on mrsmonkfingers turbo golf.

Just bought a Trace Elliot Ta100 Acoustic amp – will be used for gigging, but they are a lovely piece of kit 🙂 Wife wasn’t too impressed when it turned up yesterday – apparently we’re meant to be ‘saving’.
