K-Edge mount. Delighted that somebody not only read my Amazon wishlist, but then got me a better model.

Got some SuperFeet insoles for my shoes. And, totally related to my cycling obsession, a Gaggia Classic espresso machine.

I thought I might get the Tower Bridge, but I got this, which is much cooler:
Ferris Wheel* | LEGO Shop
Perfect project for the off season.

I got cash and some scratch-off tickets. Using the cash and my $15 in lottery winnings for a new saddle for my Scott. The one that it came with is awful.
That's all I got.

Sleeve warmers and socks, but best off all I tricked my wife into thinking she wanted to ride on the trainer with me so we have to buy a new one. 
I got to order a tacx vortex smart ($300) to ride on zwift with adjustable resistance.
Also related I got a local massage voucher.

I got a gift from my road bike. It actually said "from: road bike" on the package. My wife said it was because it was feeling neglected with me riding the fixie and wanted to get my attention.

Kurt Kinetic Road Machine, to replace an el-cheapo magnetic off-brand trainer. Boy what a difference. Okay; so I bought that myself, but it counts right?

Tacx T2180 Vortex Virtual Smart Trainer | Turbo Trainer Shop
I've never heard of the store so I did a little research. Apparently its a legit German company. I just ordered it so I can't comment on anything from personal experience yet. I did use paypal though for their added buyer protection. I also added some gp4000s ii's since the price was good and it didn't affect shipping.
EDIT: In case the link doesn't work or gets switched to walmart bike-discount(dot)de
