Black friday shopping list

Smart watch (still deciding between venu 3 and epix pro gen 2)
Some new trainers
New kettle (not sure if smart) (old one is leaking)
New drill (old one blew up)

Seemingly need a decent set of powerline adapters, WiFi in the new place is utter dross.

I was holding out for a Xbox Rog Ally X, might be tempted to drop on a laptop instead
 
Over here I think PC wise hoping to grab a deal on;
- 2TB NVME SSD
- new Razer deathadder mouse as my current one is about 9 years old and showing it :D

If your budget will stretch to it, see if you can get a decent mesh wifi set. I used powerline adapters for years, and they're only any good if you have decent electrics in the house. Otherwise they're flaky as hell and a massive headache.

I agree with this, I used Devolo power line adapters in three different properties - including a new build, and they were never stable enough. You'll lose throughput randomly until you switched the adapter off and on again.

The recent price history is depressing.

<edit> - apparently part picker isn't allowed...

Heat pump tumble dryer is the only possible thing. The tumble dryer we have is 25 years old and no doubt horrendously inefficient.

I had issues with TP link powerline adapters dropping out all the time in 2 houses. The joys of anecdotal success / failure I guess.

I have the TP-Link Deco BE65 set of 3, and although a lot more expensive (!) it's an absolutely massive gamechanger. Set & forget, gigabit speeds around the house, no fuss.

Yeah mine have been fine. But this is quite a small house. And there are many variables as you say.
 
Couple of things
New mouse
little Bluetooth keyboard/ mouse combo to control Steam deck when plugged into TV
Pixel Watch 4
and maybe a new coffee machine
