A compass and some woodworking clamps.
A $100 Amazon gift card for DD's 40th birthday which is today. (Where did the time go?)
Here she is at her wedding 14 months ago

Wow, she's absolutely beautiful, aja8888!!
Oh, I ordered a new laser printer for DD's birthday present, but I got it from Walmart as it was 15% cheaper and also came with two day free shipping.
Amazon is going to have a problem if they keep allowing WM (and others) to undercut them on pricing.

Last thing I ordered was an oscillating fan, it arrived after the heat wave here in Silicon Valley broke, but I'm still glad to have it ready for the next one. I'd actually use it every night, but the power light (why does everything have an LED on it now?) is annoying, and the noise disturbs my DW who is a light sleeper, so it is relegated to further heat wave emergencies only.
There is, and it's quite extensive. It's under:+1.
I didn't know there was a "naughty section" at Amazon .

I just picked up an item on e-bay after finding it for $10 less than Amazon. Then I saw a link for another $5 discount. $99 at Amazon, $84 at e-bay seller who had lots of good reviews. Add in a bit of lost CC cash-back and the difference is $12.
On a recent BBQ purchase Costco was considerably cheaper than Amazon. Then I bought a small propane tank for the BBQ, and Home Depot was cheaper than Amazon. Between the two I saved a good 55+ dollars after sales tax.
Yeah, I have had similar experiences lately when pricing out certain items at Amazon, Ebay, and other stores. Amazon definitely does not always have the best price anymore (especially if your order is not large enough to qualify for free shipping). And, if you are not a Prime member (which I am not), you can't count on receiving the item ordered in a timely manner, either. Based on my experiences with the last few things I've ordered from Amazon (none of which were very good), I pretty much decided to look elsewhere for an item first now, and only resort to ordering from Amazon if I can't find it at a reasonable price anywhere else.
I'm a bit of a knife fanatic...currently, I'm using Wusthof Classic Ikon kitchen knives. I have two hollow-blade knives (the Santoku and the Wonder Knife), but I thought I'd add this one:
