What was the first thing you ever bought on amazon?

[TellingBone]

Was looking for something in 'your orders' and idly clicked the drop-down box to look at previous orders by year.

Mine: 2001 - The Deeper Meaning of Liff by Douglas Adams et al

Set of board books in 2000 (USA)

Some Weeping Angel action figures in 2007, for DS1’s stocking.

He’s 23 in June

4 Violent Femmes CDs. Back in the time when they only sold books, CDs and games!
My first non-book/cd/game purchase were two buggy snuggles in 2007.

A world atlas in 2010 apparently, it was a present for the husband.

I thought I would probably have used Amazon before then for books but maybe not.

Inside "Big Brother" by Jean Ritchie in 2002

Clap Hands, Kipper's Book of Opposites, KBoWeather, KBoCounting, Elmer's Colours, The Very Hungry Caterpillar

5 November 2000. PFB was coming up to a year old but it may have been a Christmas present for his cousin born in July.

20GB MP3 player and "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" in 2006. I was post my 2nd miscarriage and miserable. Had dc1 a year later.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail DVD in January 2003. I'm guessing it was a birthday present for my now ex-h.

Just checked my first ever purchase and it was also monty python and the holy grail dvd, may 2002!

Trouser Jazz CD by Mr Scruff in 2007.

The Cure Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me CD in 2006

@skeggycaggy I loved Trouser Jazz and saw Mr Scruff a few times! Have an apron which I bought at one of the gigs

Apparently Serenity (a sci fi film) in 2006. I remember buying it, as a present for my then-bf, but I'm surprised it's the first thing I ever got from there!

1998: A boom about Bill Clinton's presidency from Amazon US.

5 pack of silicone iPod touch cases and screen protectors, in 2010.

Aw it was Back to Black by Amy Winehouse, 10th December 2007

I placed 9 orders in the whole of 2008, I have placed 57 orders SO FAR in 2021!!

A DVD of Come Outside - we wanted to see the episode about crisps that CBBC wouldn't show because it was promoting unhealthy food

I still love Trouser Jazz! And I still keep my teabags in a Mr Scruff tea tin! He was actually local to me, I last saw him play at a community event in my park.

Interesting thread!

Mine was a book by Philip Gourevitch about the Rwandan genocide, titled 'We wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed by our families'.

It was for my African Studies module at university. I've just had a massive flashback to that time, sitting in the computer room at uni trying to write my essay, and hoping desperately to get an email from my best mate (who became my boyfriend three weeks later and my husband five years later).

Awwww.

2012 a Kindle cover £4.75

This is like a trip down memory lane, fertility books (2010), baby sleep books (2011) etc etc, thanks for posting OP, I'm really enjoying looking at my past purchases!!
