S/O...Amazon Prime...What's in your latest package?

[rebcoola]

Dd starts roller derby this week so its been skated, mouth guard, helmet and pads.  Oh some parts for the man of the house and I just ordered new vionic sandals.

[purpleowl]

Toilet paper, via subscribe & save. My last non-subscription delivery was DH's birthday present, a new Dominion expansion (I can't remember what it was called).

[theelfqueen]

I don't KNOW. I assume it's a birthday present for me -- cause the box says "Merrick - Don't PEEK!" And is addressed to my DH!

Before that - a collapsible laundry hamper.

Today's arrival:  500 rubber bands (to blow up a watermelon), velcro strips, felt pads for furniture legs, gluten free flour (I got the GF muffin recipe on the King Arthur Measure for Measure bag to taste like Costco's muffins), and a Prime Pantry box of random toiletry type stuff.

I would like you to post the rubber band blowing up watermelon video when you are done, please.

Peter Potty Urinal and a new 13" Scotch laminator

Is the laminator to replace one that was recalled, perhaps? Or just a new one?

[Dmmetler]

Diabetes test strips/lancets, thyroid support vitamins, Velcro shapes (for my preschool students to use to know where to sit on the carpet),and printer paper.

This is a rather full week for Amazon orders as we have a lot coming up. This is stuff that delivered Saturday thru today, or is coming by this Friday.

• Kylo Ren Wall Poster (May the 4th be with you present for one of DD#1's friends)
• two Mountain t-shirts for one of my kids who has a birthday soon
• Rick Riordan's newest book (released today)
• car sun shade
• three piece offset icing spatula set
• five different size/types of baseball pants (for two boys, one of which has already gone back & another should but they wanted to charge me $7 to ship it in the same box as the other pair of pants that is going back - nope!)
• a new slow cooker (my Christmas-present-Instant Pot is a sucky slow cooker & I need a slow cooker more than an Instant Pot)
• a new wall mounted whiteboard & whiteboard eraser holder
• baseball cleats
• baseball belt
• two pairs of baseball socks
• four books for DD#1's summer college English class
• facial moisturizer

I just looked and, other than a few books (and several Kindle books), all my orders this year have been travel-related. A power converter, a phone charging cable, anti-theft backpack, anti-theft jacket, packing cubes. 

I do have stainless steel straws sitting in my cart waiting until I get around to actually buying them. 

[Ravin]

Our monthly subscribe n save:

Smarty Pants vitamins (teen girl and kids), a 6 pack of Tom's of Maine deodorant, and two boxes of K-cups.

Also, a journal with "Alpacas make me smile" on the cover, DD bought with her allowance, and a solar powered lantern for our camping trip next weekend.

Yes, a replacement for the recalled laminator. I went with the bigger sized one.

[Lady Florida.]

Wild bird seed, a pet water fountain, an outdoor security camera (the last one was dh's). 

Dss also accidentally sent two books meant for the grandsons to our address. We have each other's addresses on our accounts so we can send stuff for gifts. He said it somehow defaulted to our address.

Birthday presents for my two year old ( a shave like daddy kit and cars) and Mathematical Reasoning Beginning 1.  Unusually, that's it.  It's definitely a slow Amazon week around here.

I got a death valley map and grand canyon map. I need to order trekking poles and a sun hat.

Cat food and two new t shirts.

Student Driver magnets for Trinqueta's practice sessions. They also sell Nervous Parent stickers but I didn't go there....

We saw a video of the project in a Mystery Science lesson and were thrilled there was an "exploding something with science" video we hadn't seen yet!  I bought two mini watermelons (figured it would be easier for the kids to get rubber bands around a smaller one), and I'm going to take one regular video and one in slo-mo.  I'll see if I can figure out how to edit and post it.  The first 400+ rubber bands will be pretty boring, haha.

It's this recipe, without nuts.  For my adjustments, I used baker's sugar instead of regular white sugar (I used a Tbsp. or so less than the recipe),  a silicone 6-muffin baking pan instead of the regular 12-cup size, set the pan on the bottom half of the oven to avoid over-browning the tops, and sprinkled on a crumble mixture on top (GF instant oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a Tbsp of the flour, with cold butter crumbled in).  I think the trick is getting them into a well-sealed container before they are totally cooled off.

They are reeeeeeallly good as pumpkin muffins too, with the Enjoy Life chocolate chunks on top instead of the crumble.

[Knock]

a fireproof document envelope, a bag of loops for my daughter's play weaving loom, and stainless drinking cups for the toddler.

Anyone else read through this thread and see All The Things that it never occurred to you to order from Amazon and now you're thinking about ordering them from Amazon?

?

[Sneezyone]

A new bra and two pairs of matching undies.

[TravelingChris]

Can't remember what exactly came last since we weren't ordering for things to arrive while we were in the Smokies last week.

What is set to arrive on Monday are new hearing aids (legally called amplifiers) (I got the ones that cost over 600 for a pair but have more controls than my old hearing aids I lost about three years ago that cost 3K).  Also getting turmeric capsules, Heliocare (a capsule of a fern that has been shown in Europe to help prevent sun damage), and will be ordering today a folding cane with a seat, international cell phone/Kindle chargers/, and potentially some Coolibar products too for skin protection.

[dirty ethel rackham]

Last week: Sea Bands (so dd can continue to get schoolwork done in the car.

This week:  Wax paper sandwich bags for a bake sale.

Next week:  new iphone charging cord for dd (they wear out so fast) 

[nixpix5]

only one item this week...a book called "My Book of Stories: Write Your Own Myths" with writing prompts in it for my DD. 

[Amber in SJ]

2 Shakespeare plays (Henry V & Midsummer's,) 2 history books, a 3DS charger, replacement heads for the kids' toothbrush, a pencil sharpener and a maxi skirt.  Pretty random.

[TrixieB]

A car charger.

[mom@shiloh]

My latest orders:

a new ice maker for our frig, a huge box of peppermints (Wilheminas) and men's white gloves to wear to a Regency ball. 

I totally love that basket that someone upthread bought for shoes. I am a sucker for baskets and crates, but I've run out of ways to use them. 

[Wheres Toto]

I order a ton of stuff for classes from Amazon.  The kids often ask me where I bought something and I almost always answer "Amazon".  One of the girls last week said I was "the Amazon Queen".  

It's funny because I live somewhere it's not that hard to just run out to the store for things.  In less than 30 minutes I can hit 3 Walmarts (maybe 4), 2 Targets, an entire indoor mall with Sears, JCPenneys, Macys and Lord & Taylor, over a dozen grocery stores, 3 Home Depots, 2 Lowes, restaurant supply stores, and two learning stores (although our real "teacher" store closed, these ones have mostly toys).   Unless I need something immediately or it really needs to be tried on, I just really prefer ordering.

ETA:  Okay, what the heck with the emojis?  I did the keyboard big smile since I knew choosing from the list was making ?, but it converted it to a real emoji and then put in a ?

[alisoncooks]

Enjoying the variety. Such a fun mix of unusual and mundane, lol. 

New package coming my way: 2 short sleeved rash guards inspired by the rash guard thread. (Remembered that youngest had outgrown her old one and we're going to the water park next week.) Amazon for the win!

Lol, I have the exact same situation with all the stores I could possibly need!

Yet, I think people have stopped asking me where I get things because they know the answer is going to be Amazon.  Drives a few nuts because believe it or not, there are still people who don't trust the internet for their shopping needs. 

[trulycrabby]

A Seresto flea collar for the cat; and it arrived in USED condition! When I opened the metal container, I noticed that the collar was not sealed in plastic, and the lid had "Fluffy 4/5/2018" written on it in felt tip pen. So, I looked closely in the collar; it had been sized and trimmed, the inside was discolored with something reddish brown, and there was a clump of cat hair on it!!!

Sold by amazon, not a third party seller. I'm guessing it was returned and whoever processed it did not bother to open the container.

This blows my mind. I know a young woman (30ish) who just used PayPal for the first time last week. (?!?!!!!) I can't remember NOT using PP, lol.

a screen door with magnets so it closes. My mom wanted it, and her mother birthday is next week.

We got a box of Simply Pickles today.  One of my kids is sensitive to food dye and he loves pickles, but the dye free are hard to find around here.

They contain yellow die usually.

I think you’ll like the sunscreen. I’ve noticed on other skin care threads that we use similar products. ?

link your curtains!

These curtains: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KR1D7F6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

But I'll be adapting them into all "modern valances/faux Roman shades."  I have 5 windows in my kitchen, so it was cheaper to buy 2 sets like this than 5 actual valances.

A bunch of stress toys for my office (I am a counselor.)

[retiredHSmom]

a worm gear and food safe grease to repair a kitchenaid mixer so that I can gift it to my oldest daughter.

Today: 2 mattress covers for 2 beds that are too hard, and a bottle of children’s sleep vitamins (melatonin +) for the child who doesn’t sleep (I hope this helps)!!

My Orbis came today!!!!!!!!

if you aren’t familiar, the Orbi is Netgear’s mesh WiFi router.  My set of three means no more dead spots in the house.  Wall-to-wall WiFi coverage!  Woohoo!
