Unintended consequence of eBay purchases

[ffutures]

It's my grand-niece's birthday soon so I bought her a couple of presents. She's five and likes Hello Kitty stuff, so I got her a cheap watch and a pendant. And suddenly my eBay page and recommendations are virulent bright pink, so garish my eyes hurt.

I'm pretty sure she'll love them, but until I buy some other tat I think I'll need to turn down the brightness when I look at that page!

I searched for topless figures once, I was looking for a Queen Gorgo model for some Spartans.

That dragged out some very weird things in the recommendations section.

Quelle surprise...

speaking from past experience, it helps to go look at pages of other books, stuff and whatever else you can, even without buying.

Good idea!

On Amazon, I misread the nature of the gift option tickbox, thinking it just meant it would be gift-wrapped, so I ignored it for some years of buying Christmas presents.

My brother's taste in music is very different from mine.

These are two different vendors on eBay, not Amazon, and gift wrapping wasn't on offer. So I've got them here - a bit nearer the time I'll get them wrapped as one present and send them with a card.
