Our child is slowly getting the hang of telling the time, and understanding what hours/minutes mean so I've ordered a wall-clock for him so he can see the time in his bedroom.

By coincidence I bought myself a new automatic watch, an old/"vintage" Soviet piece by Vostok. I collect mechanical watches and I'm looking forward to the time when I can buy the child his first watch - no doubt a casio/swatch or similar. No point buying a mechanical watch for a child.

Nothing else that I can think about. I tend to average a new desktop PC every 3-5 years, but apart from random electronic components for making things myself I don't tend to buy too much "technical stuff".

My desktop PC is over 8 years old. Every 3-5 years seems pretty fast, unless maybe you are doing high-end gaming.
