Buying presents before Christmas

I don't know about you, but when I'm in CVS Pharmacy, I've noticed that there is a lot of stuff to waste your money on, beyond the high cost prescription medication and toothpaste.  The store end-caps(those shelves at the end of aisles that feature merchandise on sale for a limited time), are rarely stocked with something unique.  Until yesterday.  Yesterday, I found tiny 6-inch tall replicas of vintage microphones.  I LOVE vintage microphones!  These were ones you can use on your laptop for Skyping or whatever.  Now, I already have a microphone for that purpose, but when I saw this, I thought "Oooh!  Knick-knack for the studio."  I also thought, "Oooh, my wife will make the repeated point that I'm the spender in the relationship."  At any rate, sometimes a trip to the drugstore makes for a pleasant surprise.
