Brilliant - thank you

I have several of the things on those lists already.... cheap fauxtons from DX have been my favourite buy.

[PyroJames]

Yeah, I love those fauxtons.  I bought the transparent ones and they're pretty darn bright.  Not bad for 44 cents a piece.

Mine too, I bought about 50 so far, and have just 5 left. A nice "just so" gift for your fellow man. I use them as zipper pulls on all of my jackets too.

[nuphoria]

And now I am going to blame you for having just been over to DX and spent money



Trying a couple of the cheap bike mounts for my big bright lights... and of course more fauxtons etc!

[enki_ck]

 
I spent about $20 while writing the first post.  Dangerous place that DX is.

Yes but ever since they changed postal services, I've been ordering less.  Before, packages would take a week and a half to arrive but now they take almost a month for me to receive them.

[edcgear]

Now look what you have done....  I'll spend some more money.... 

[Sazabi]

Thank you for linking to those Fresnel lenses; looks like I know what my stocking stuffers will be this year - and only costing $5.20 total.

[gunga]

Dude... Why?  I just spent like another $20 at DX because of you!  Need to check out those lighters and Magnifiers...

 

I just finished a few orders there too!

Well I did send you some money a few weeks ago.

I was hoping for some new tips on what to buy. My dads birthday is in a month and a half. So something small and shiny would do. I'm probably gonna get him a Supertool 300 and a trinket or two.

[Nikos]

Thread necromancy FTW!

So, anyone has something new to add to these? I'm in the mood for some cheap stuff...
