After seeing some *great* buys on the random thread, I thought it deserved a thread of its own. What are you shopping for? Or looking to buy? Whats on your dream shopping list this week?

Was looking into buying cheaper Steelers hoodie for trip, and stumbled onto design yer own places.
One offered 25% off coupon. With said coupon was around $30!
So designed my own hopefully non-copyrighted 'Steelers/Watt' hoodie 😳

Croc cowboyboots? Are those real? @Skanky Vamp Those can't be real.

I want a second filofax, the one I have for private use is getting subsumed by work stuff. So I'm considering buying a second one for work stuff... though the whole point of having a filofax was to have ONE, so I have everything in one space. I just didn't expect to need so much more space...

I also would like to buy some books, Sarah Bakewell's "At the existentialists café" and some others that I couldn't find at the library.

The thing is I've spent so much money on Icelandic wool yarn lately that I need to hold on my spending. I've knitted two cosy sweaters so far, but still, anyone who likes yarn knows how bleeding expensive it can be.

Allotment stuff mostly, a shed, a few raised beds, lots of compost and mulch.

Lego, obviously. We had some new sets come in on Friday and I debated on putting one aside for me.

I'm also thinking about a new lamp for the living room. Trouble is plug sockets are sparse here.

I don't look for things to buy. They look for me. I keep my youngest occupied by taking him Charity Shop shopping - he looks for Kenzo clothes; I look at jigsaws. If I really need to buy anything it's two new wardrobes and another set of shelves. Oh...I also want a new house!

"It said the design had been widely requested by regular Crocs wearers. The boot will be available on its website and in some Crocs retail stores for a limited time for $120 (£98) from 23 October."

Well, I for one am shocked and appalled. Widely requested... seem highly impractical to me, but I second, what do I know.

That tells me everything I need to know about Crocs wearers! 😄 That said - I might buy a pair of Croc slippers.

Actually if you do a venn diagram Croc wearers pretty much match Doc Martens. Hashtag Truth.

I was thinking of buying some new sneakers for summer. But do they still make them to go past the ankle or are they out of fashion now? I do not like unprotected ankles in summer, but the heel on my boots is just a little too high for comfort on longer walks.

Yes - they do (and no - they're not). You can't go wrong with Converse - they're a timeless (relatively speaking) classic.

LOL! I've got a pair of Vans similar to those @Skanky Vamp posted (but not Hi-tops).

My go to sneaker!
I need to finally admit a lot of mine are wearing out.
 
I want to buy some goldfish. Every time I have gone to the pet store to get them, they tell me I need a million different parts and pumps. The man up the road had gold fish living in his septic tank... I think they might be fine in my rainwater pond really.
