A mosquito zapper. Yes, it's December but still warm enough here for me to be eaten by mosquitoes. It looks like a small plastic tennis racquet. This will be fun. 
I haven't treated myself in a while and the last time the wife allowed me to buy some toys was about five months ago with the newest addition to my phaser arsenal and cosplay prop collection and that in the right hands is capable of subduing both Klingons and Mr. Adventure.
Of all my phasers, it has one of the best fits in hand and is well balanced which is more important in a hand weapon (even a fictional one) than simply what's popular and has name recognition (Glock lover's take note).
I like that the smaller Phaser One detaches for those covert landing party missions that require keeping the Prime Directive in mind. The only con compared to Diamond Selects other props is the four different force setting sounds are very similar to each other and the LED on the front stopped working after the first three months of use and I see no easy way to replace it even if it was possible. It does however look very sharp on one's daily uniform of choice when you're ready to beam out into the world of reality.
Overall, it is a good addition to my collection and I'm satisfied; even if my wife felt the need to remind me that this isn't reality, but fantasy

Christmas presents for family, a couple of cross stitch kits, yet another new American Girl doll and outfits (will post photos in the Action Figure thread), and most importantly, ingredients for Christmas cookies and cakes!
About fifty new things for my newly-adopted doggo, Dave, including an ergonomically-designed, orthopedist-recommended memory foam bed that cost almost as much as my first car...
He is currently asleep on top of the other dogs

Finally got a card game that I'd been eyeing for awhile... Unstable Unicorns. Got it on sale for a good price.
Also got a word search book.

Polish for my cast iron stove - an old pot belly that's been in the family since the 1870s - and a new chimney and chimney cap because I live in a log house...
Safety first, and no one wants a fire here !

Wow, that stove sounds awesome.
I dropped my tablet in the bathroom yesterday, and it bounced off the toilet and cracked the screen, so I got myself a new one today. I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8'', but when I got home I realize my old one was a 10'', and I want a bigger screen for watching videos, and reading novels and comics, so I'm going to return it tomorrow, and order a 10'' on Amazon after Christmas. The crack isn't real big, so I can make do until then.
You're in Germany? For some reason I've thought you were in the US all this time we've both been on here.

Not a purchase because I got them for free but I was fitted for my new hearing aids today. These ones are Bluetooth compatible and I am really enjoying streaming my current audiobook and hearing it much better.
A book - ‘Memories of the Andes’ by Coche Inciarte who was one of the survivors of the 1972 Andes Plane crash. This is the 6th book that was written by one of the survivors, the other 5 are those written by Nando Parrado, Roberto Canessa, Pedro Algorta, Eduardo Strauch and Carlitos Paez. Canessa’s book deal more with his life as a paediatric cardiologist more than his survival on the mountain.

I found this at the local flea market for $1! 
A new pair of work gloves
Wow, I must be tired... I misread that as "handmade PIES", and although I've never heard of a raspberry cream pie, it sounded delicious! Then I read the comment under the pic, and was like "What?? Oh...
