Purrshire Adventure Tower Cat Activity Centre
I got this for my new cat who was ruining the back of my leather chair by climbing up it to glare angrily into next door's garden. He hates it even more than he hates me, and he hates me so much he follows me around the house to hiss at me. The sum total of his use of this majestic activity centre has been to stand on the base 3 times while clawing the curtains behind it. WAC.
Here's the official shop link.

Elite Volare Mag turbo trainer [gone now soz]
Your basic magnetic turbo trainer. Has a big magnet on it. It's got a clippy handle thing for changing the resistance that I've never knowingly used. It's got a skewer. It's got a front riser block. It's even got a box.
It's the same one that's in this video
that I didn't actually watch so I hope the video isn't all like "lol this thing is a death trap, do not buy".

Carradice Barley saddlebag [gone now soz]
Black canvas bag, mint green straps. Bit like this Wiggle one or this spa cycles one.
The seatpost and saddle straps are looking a bit tatty. It's a nice, sturdy bag but I'm a short-arse so I don't have enough seatpost to be able to use it comfortably.
Bonus cycling Safety Badger badge included. I'm also including a pair of Velo Orange Viva bag loops (the older style, like these), so you can use this even if your saddle doesn't have loops of its own. Hurrah!

Kool Stop bead jack [gone now soz]
[
]
Used to be quite difficult to find these, now there's knock-off versions everywhere. Anyway, this is one of the OG ones. Helps you squeeze your tight-ass tyres onto your farcically oversized rims, fnar. Here's a Youtube video about it

Basil Double Pannier bag [gone now soz]
I think this might be the Mara XL model but I don't really remember. Quite handsome bags, little bit of wear on the back sides. I've lost the velcro straps that thread through the backs to keep them snug against your pannier rack.
The thing about these bags is that they are FUCKING ENORMOUS. To demonstrate how enormous they are, I have filled them with all the random shit that was in reach while I was taking the pictures.
