Thursday Thirteen #372

Thirteen recent Amazon orders. When Amazon launched 29 summers ago, it called itself The World's Largest Bookstore. It sold only books. While it seems that hardly a week goes by that I don't receive an Amazon shipment, these days, it's seldom books (though I use Amazon when I send a book as a gift to someone). 
 
Here are 13 of my most recent Amazon orders:

1. 16-month pocket planner.
2. Cat litter.
3. MacBook Pro charger.
4. Hose repair tape.
5. Gerber Meats baby food (for my cat, Connie).
6. Clear shower curtain liner.
7. Package of 12-inch rules (delivered to the local back-to-school backpack drive).
8. Jewelry box.
9. "Get out the vote" postcards (mine say "Your Vote Matters!").
10. Earthworm Natural and Family Safe Drain Cleaner.
12. Mesh laundry bags "for delicates."
13. Laundry basket.
 
Looking at the list, it occurs to me that I don't order frivolous things from Amazon. I think I felt more genuine delight opening their boxes when they did contain books!
 
How about you? What do you order from Amazon?

  1. Short answer, EVERYTHING. But my last 13....colored sand for crafts at work, a sliding tray for my heavy-a$$ mixer, a book, a stove cover, socks, vitamins, Vionic recovery clogs, kinetic sand for work and the grands, screws for Tim's pistol grip, ELF power grip primer, anti-fatigue mats for the kitchen, and a thumb piano for work.

  2. I get occasional migraines. My mother found these pills that actually help. She'd get them through a company she did business with (energy healing stuff). She no longer is able to do that, but I found the pills on Amazon. (In fact, I woke up with a migraine today. So glad I have those pills so I can actually work. No pain right now.)

    Amazon has become my go-to for ordering printer ink. I might find the kind I need at Target, but that isn't always the case. I once got a Best Buy gift card for my birthday that I used to get ink. But Amazon seems like my best solution for ordering ink.

  4. Ear drops, a pair of sandals for my husband, a screen protector for my iPhone, a "Learn to Draw Animals" book for my great niece's birthday, etc. Same as everyone else, different stuff (but also a few books in there).
