Powerballs are wicked, the METAL ones are smoooooooooooth but pricey, however the HYBRID ones seem to bring the best advantages of the metal rotor but in the less pricey polycarbonate shell

The one part of my 3D printer that has broken - still works but is awkward, would like to replace the broken plastic with the sturdier metal version.
Check prices: Including the upgraded PTFE Bowden Tube is a bonus, but honestly the main point is the Aluminium (Or Aluminum [sigh]) extruder.

Tune ALL SORTS of stuff from 500 kHz to 1.7 GHz, basically slurps up a huge chunk of the radio spectrum, straight into a laptop / pi / etc for decoding in software, at which point you can decode a whole bunch of interesting signals from the airwaves, AM/FM/TV but also all kinds of interesting digital things, aircraft, weather stations, ships, and loads of hamradio stuff.
Similar one is currently receiving my Weather Station and noseynick.net airplane tracking, but has to alternate between them, caudsing interruptions to the airplane tracking. Would be much neater if I could be receiving more than one thing at once.
Check Prices: Sometimes the SDR-Dongle and Antennas are cheaper in the bundle, sometimes separately.

BBC's latest "BBC Micro" is more like a kid-targeted Arduino with a 5x5 LED grid and some buttons built in. It's 16 quid for the micro:bit itself plus battery pack.

One of the latest and smallest Raspberry Pis, fills an interesting niche between the Pi and the Arduino. RP2040 - a dual-core Arm Cortex-M0+ processor with 264KB internal RAM and support for up to 16MB of off-chip Flash. A wide range of flexible I/O options includes I2C, SPI, and — uniquely — Programmable I/O (PIO).

Stick almost any component in it, it will identify it AND tell you the values. Electronics nerds, we ARE, finally, living in the future!

Must be at least 3.5m or so, of fairly flexible 50-ohm coaxial cable (EG RG58), with an N-type Male connector one one end. Don't care what's on the other end, if anything - this is for a ham radio repair
