What have you bought recently?

Some Christmas gifts. Three sets of four smallish emergency flashlights (one set for each of my kids) to scatter around their houses in case of a power outage. At my next Costco trip, I'll grab some packages of extra batteries to go along with them.

Also bought these for my grandchildren.

Lanz of Salzburg makes warm winter nightgowns. They are pricey though -- Vermont Country Store and Amazon carry them. They run $68 to around $100. My daughter suggest you wear a cotton turtleneck under a nightgown, which will keep your neck and shoulders warm.

I like the nightgowns at Vermont Country Store .. seem to be roomy and very warm, and they have high neck versions. I bought one a few years ago, and it's still my favorite.

I bought one for them last year. It is made of heavy sweatshirt material, it's a long one, and it has a turtleneck. I wear sweatpants under it if I'm really cold. (Of course, I don't go out in this garb!)
 
A Lincove goose down pillow. Pricey, but top of the line from what I've read. It should be here in 2 days...can't wait to try it out!

Since no one in my area carries cannoli or even the cannoli shells, I ordered a couple boxes of the shells from H-E-B down in Texas. Much cheaper than getting them on Amazon. After several attempts at making my own cannoli's, I finally found a recipe that tastes right. I make them for Christmas every year.

Yesterday i stocked up on my favorite yogurt, on sale, i get the 4 pkg single serve, often have two......sooooooooo good.

Wow, very unusual flavors. I've only seen vanilla, peach and strawberry. I do like them, but sometimes I can really taste the fake sugar they use....not sure what it's called.

But, the cappuccino sounds good, and I don't even drink coffee.

Not sure about the fake sugar you mentioned.....the yogurt on top is not sweet, very tart, then the coffee, and the chocolate banana is on the bottom.....i never stir it.
It states fruit, flavor, is on the bottom.....then other flavors are stated on it, blended......don't like the blended ones......fussy or what ;):):p
 
While out & about yesterday,, I bought new curtain panels for the living room.
Came home & got them put up.
Spend the day going up/ down stairs till I found 2 sheer panels to put under the new ones.

Don't like the idea that anyone walking past can see into living room.

Today's plan was to change out bedroom curtains ,,put up the 'winter' ones.

So far my energy level hasn't reached that level.
 
I ordered home made soap from a Maine seller on Etsy. I've ordered from her before and LOVE the oatmeal soap for my own shower. Also ordered several other "flavors" to give as holiday gifts along with the soft cotton face cloths that I knit. She always encloses a free sample of a new recipe. This time it is lavender blossom - nice floral scent where the lavender isn't super strong.
 
Ruggables. My precious little Sophie, now 16, has dementia and forgets to head outside first thing in the morning. I bought rugs to put on the hardwood floors because she slipped a few weeks ago and tore a cruciate ligament. With ruggables, I can either throw them in the washer if they are small enough, or for the big one that seems to be her stopping point in the morning, I can just scrub it outside and hang it up to dry. Fortunately, it's still warm enough in SoCal to do that.
 
I got some fancy Christmas food today mainly to fill the freezer.. some Luxury Chocolate Yule logs... some Wild Red Shrimp.. a big box of Short Ribs, some Chocolate Brazil nuts .. ..and quite a lot more

I bought a Cardigan online, and collected that from the clothing store...it's a little bit too small but I won't return it.., hopefully after the Christmas season I'll lose a few pounds and it'll be perfect

..and at the Variety Goods store.. I got a Plant pot holder and stand for the living room exactly what I've been searching for .. and a stainless steel over kitchen cabinet door door hanger for dish towels in the kitchen, so I don't have to keep draping them over the radiator..

Diamond earrings for DGD for Christmas. Not to worry, there was a big discount because they were on sale, and I had a 30% coupon besides so didn't spend my kids' inheritance💸

And a digital coin bank. Yup. Digital. Put in the coins and it can tell by the size of the coin how much it is, shows the total on a little register thingie on the lid. It's for my DS because he leaves change everydamnwhere. Now it will be contained, and he'll know how much he has.

Yes we had one of those a good few years ago now. It ended up being too small for all the change we had so we donated it

I bought a new black puffer coat. It was way too big and way too long. I just took it to UPS to ship it back. Would have been a nice coat had it not been huge.

Well, bummer.
Would it still be too big w/all your sweaters on underneath?
