My son gave me a gift card for Christmas which he found easy to purchase (did it online). I ordered practical items that I use all of the time. I added the clip on magnifier light because you can't have enough magnification. It has quite a large viewing area and I was very pleasantly surprised. It seemed like it took a while for this package to arrive, but I have plenty of projects to keep me busy. The only contact I gave was when I was asked if the package had arrived.
