Well - it has advantages.
OK, so no surprises - but no socks, no jumpers, no "oh gawd I'll have to look like I use this for a year" items either.
So far, I've bought myself a tablet, a sous vide, an decent camera, ... stuff I've actually wanted and do use.

I found a lot of beercaps, a Eurocent that is not recognizable, some screws.. It does come in handy if I want to know if there's a metal wire or pipe going through a wall

I know at least three guys who had to resort to one to find the surveyors spike in their yards. One was hiding under a tree.

..in the yard, make sure that the spike does not go in a straight line to your house; you don't want to dig up your own sewerage

I leave for you as an exercise to decide how to use the former on the latter.

In fact, I wasn't absolutely sure that 'discography' is appropriate. Maybe 'marketing rubbish' could fit...
Anyway, I'm not so comfortable with advertising a murder on a public forum, either

OG, that's (way) more than reasonable! 
As they say, some of the best things in life are free (or at least under £10). With that in mind, may I recommend a couple of my favorites?
Merry Xmas!

It's what her tablet cost, and she's insistent that I spend about the same on me.
Wonder how many pairs of socks I can get for £300...

Asking what hobby you have seems to be forbidding, seeing your presence here on CP.
Buy some nice woodworking tools and if you find out you don't know what to do with them send them to me. 
A couple of Stanley planes would be nice and two or three rip and crosscut saws. 
Cheers!
