Cheating since I have to pay nothing but a new pair of glasses and a magnifying glass.

Will provide pictures of the magnifying glass when I get home since the glasses will be ready in a month's time

The Criterion BluRay of Exotica. Unironically one of the greatest movies of the ‘90s, sadly mismarketed by Miramax as an erotic thriller when it is something completely different than that.
 
I've bought 3 tons of scrap copper.

Normally I just buy it as needed but a spark I know who does refits of old council buildings thats nice an clean for the most part showed up with it clean and clear price and added it to my smelt pile he did have some weird coper bowls I've kept as a interesting thing because the mrs would like them, they are definitely modern so I don’t really care but look interesting.

I did buy myself a nice easel this afternoon, I could easily make one but I really can't be arsed an want something that a extension of my drawing board, i want something just to hold my drawing / painting that's purely artistic.
 
Treated myself to a new adjustable bed platform and fancy mattress, and since I was making expensive choices I decided to grab a 12” SVS PC-2000 Pro subwoofer for our home theater.

It’s so loud 😝
 
A darkest dungeon deathblow beanie. Couldnt find a shirt that was just the torch logo and generally if im gonna wear something with a graphic design i want it to stand on its own and not require some elite reddit mega knowledge

Oops, I did it again. A very early birthday present. I haven’t had a system with a sub for nearly 20 years, and none of my speakers have been particularly ‘good’ (although my Microlabs were ok). This sub goes with my KRK Kreate 8 monitors, and while this hasn’t been a cheap endeavour, I’m finally able to tickle my inner audiophile in a way that isn’t through the awesome Bose system in my car, or my AirPods Pro’s, which I love.

I have the sensitivity set to low, ditto the volume/gain, and this sub is still enough to rattle the whole apartment, which I’m sure the neighbours are gonna love. But I’m not a monster, I keep things quiet at night.

looking ahead to future autistic purchases, I have a very basic nice ball point pen that you're supposed to replace the ink cartridge in that I got as a present
I'm sorta getting use out of it as a pen but I feel like there's probably an aftermarket for crazy shit to put in the ink's place like a laser pointer or a tiny screwdriver or whatever
do such things exist? is there a general term for it so I can easily search on ebay instead of "yknow like, a ink cartridge thingy but it's a laser or some shit"
 
A dumpling maker from kmart. I've had this retarded need to make a fuckton of dumplings and freeze them.

Next is a new mattress.. I was going to buy some Pokemon TCG shit but my back is having a meltdown. New mattress first..
 
An 80s Philips CD player. I love vintage audio stuff and there is a charm to the Philips CD players. It's also a service project that I enjoy replacing capacitors and other maintenance work so I am looking forward to it.

I have never seen anything like this, but if you made one, you'd have a reasonable amount of dork bucks coming in to buy it. Usually I see multitools plus pen, or pen-shaped multitools.

Autism-flavored aftermarket conversions are neato, like the drill-powered pencil sharpener.

There are pen shaped mini screwdrivers with interchangable bits. (I swiped one from my grandpa's toolbox, sorry Papa) You can find something like that on Amazon easy. Mine has a magnet and a light in it too, but I can't seem to find that exact model atm.
 
Since having the new baby, I’ve been mostly bed-resting (rough pregnancy and delivery fucked me up good) for a couple months. Got into colouring books and bought a shit ton. They’re so relaxing!

Top tier brand choice attached to that sharpener!
Only problem I can see is that most people who often use drills will have a carpenter's pencil near by or in the bags. And while carpenter's pencils are almost perfect tools they won't fit in that type of sharpener.

...well that and everyone just uses knives to sharpen the things...
