More frivolous purchases, stuff you don't need..

I was none the wiser to this until recently. I became mates with a chap who runs a trainer shop. Although humble and unassuming, it was only when he bought a fair chunk of the night's rounds that I discovered he's made millions in the process at mid-30s. The shop has close relationships to secure this limited edition stuff. People will queue all night outside to get in the doors for special early opening days that occur when these limited editions come to the market.
Whole thing was hugely enlightening and I was staggered at the popularity of a pair of training shoes.

I went for the 10 second install.
Swore never to use those sucker units again.
It fell off about 8 times in the first day with just a bottle of shampoo.
Now it's got all 3 shelves full and hasn't budged in 4 months. Great purchase!

What are your views on those? I don't seem to have a 'type'... Current favourites are TF Tobacco Vanille, Creed GIT, Dior Homme Parfum, Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet, and Penhaligon's Sartorial.

Oud Wood, Neroli Portofino, Tuscan Leather are all good, as is Tobacco Vanille. Italian Cypress a little too close to RL Polo which I already have.
http://www.basenotes.net/forums/17-Male-Fragrance-... is a great time killer if you're after something new.
Cheers! I am enjoying decants actually, I must say. Less 'investment' when you might get bored.
I actually have 200ml of Tobacco Vanille(!), so that'll last me ages. I get bored easily, so try and mix it up!
Looking forward to seeing what Plum Jap is like, having never smelt it before. (I always find trying scents in the shop is a dangerous game - too many factors affecting it, and you never get to properly see how it develops)

I was after a DAB radio with Bluetooth for my kitchen after one of the speakers on my Philips Boombox stopped working. I didn't plan on spending quite as much as I did, but the sound, especially for such a small unit was in a different league to everything else I listened to. It has a really rich and well rounded sound and looks and feels properly premium. It's hard to believe the sound it produces is coming from just 1 small driver.
I'm genuinely tempted to get another one for my bedside table as an alarm clock.
Ruark R1 MK3 - £199.99

Just about to take the plunge with this to add to existing gas BBQ and Chimnea with grill......(I like cooking outdoors...)

Anyone know of any better alternatives?

The Uuni2 is cheaper but doesn't look as sturdy. I'm tempted as I love both Neapolitan pizzas and outdoor cooking but I rarely use my charcoal Weber bbq as it is. Hmmm https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/roccbox-the-por...
