What's the best thing you bought recently?
New thread because JL514 wanted one! Previous thread is here.
Old stuff
Quick summary of the stuff I mentioned in that thread or bought as a result of it:
- Bose QC15s - they are a great great product, but I managed to get an excellent price on the QC20i. In ear is just much more versatile for day to day use, plus much more practical for using on a plane. Smaller carrying case and they are much easier to sleep in. I should sell the QC15s.
- All-clad pan - yeah, great.
- Inov-8 230s - still great, I own these in various colours and wear them 95%+ of the time. I have a jet black pair I wear to the office every day.
- Quest bars - Meh. I got sick of the taste pretty quickly, I'd rather drink protein shakes or just eat Clif if I need something in bar form.
- Anker chargers - I picked up a couple of these with the 4 inch amazon brand cables, pretty handy to have around.
New stuff
- I spent quite a lot on Sennheiser HD600s and an AMP/DAC, which are great but I haven't used a ton.
- I bought this mat to use with my standing desk, it's great.
- These Lodge pan scrapers are surprisingly useful.
- I'm getting a lot of enjoyment from Spotify, Netflix and Audible recently. All super standard but all very slick services.
- Lastly, Joby Magnetic Gorillapod
Of recent purchases this is likely the thing that I'm most happy with. I'm currently working remotely with a coach/physio and it means I have to take a ton of video of various exercises for the two of us to review. In the past I'd have just put the phone on the floor and got crappy video whereas now I can just stick it to anything in the gym. It's a niche thing for sure but it does exactly what I need it to very well, and if you have similar needs I'd strongly recommend picking this up.
- My next large purchase will likely be a beefed up computer and the consumer version of the Oculus Rift in early 2016.
In conclusion, nothing too interesting from me, so what have you bought that has given you pleasure? I'm expecting to see a ton of Anova posts!
Edit - guys, please include pics and links in your posts!

Beurer BR60 Insect Sting and Bite Relief...
About $25-$30
This thing works better than I expected. If you catch a bite early, it is super effective.
I wish I bought it decades ago. Required if anywhere near mosquitoes.
do they have an app for discounts?
Maybe try emailing the owner. [email]JBezos@amazon.com[/email]
