Nintendo Switch to put under the Christmas tree for the family (mainly my ten year old).
 
Two more plush penguins for my collection. One is a mom and chick, where they're looking at each other, and the other is an Emperor penguin in a "belly-whopping" position (where the penguin propels itself across the ice/snow on its belly with its flippers and back feet). They're all adorable. :)
 
Broke down and bought an Avenue top from Amazon. I'd been eyeing it for weeks. It's a blue, embellished knit top with small rhinestones---TOTALLY not something I'd usually wear; I don't DO sparkle. However, it was a lovely shade of blue and had bell-sleeves. I'm a sucker for bell-sleeves. So, I decided to step outside my comfort zone. But it won't arrive for 7-10 days.
 
Three books: Sea Wolves, The Grid, and Cro-Magon. History, public policy, and history/anthropology, respectively. All on sale as ebooks for $2..
 
A toaster oven on sale for only $20.
A jar of raw, unsalted almonds. Yum.

Is there some sale going on somewhere or are you guys just (very) early in your purchases?

I usually buy gifts on the 23'rd or 24'th of December...
I wasn’t deliberately Christmas shopping. I just happened to see something perfect for my grandson in a place where I wouldn’t expect to see anything at all for an infant, so I grabbed it.
 
It being the season for this sort, I bought a bottle of sloe gin yesterday.

Now I have the problem of what to mix it with to make my first sloe gin cocktail of the season :p

ETA: Suggestions welcome!
 
I should not post about buying gin -not anywhere ... this guy I know has warned me that he's dropping in on me tomorrow for a Sloe Gin Martini :lol:
