I'm not the only packrat I know...

It just occurred to me that a lot of my friends, like me, have the habit storing potentially useful but currently unused items in case they'll be needed again in the future. I've also been thinking that there are some specific household items which I believe would improve my quality of life, and possibly my health, particularly through this winter. I'm not really in a position to be buying new things at the moment.

So, if anybody has any of the following just sitting around unused, and would be willing to loan them to me for a winter, I'd really appreciate it:

• room humidifier -- the air here is seriously dry, and the switch to using a lot of electric heating in my room is only going to exacerbate that; the forced-air heating at least has an attached humidifier.
• sun lamp/light box -- I noticed this week that my apartment is currently getting no direct sunlight, as the sun is below the roofline for the entire day.
• electric mattress warmer/blanket -- something that will heat just my bed at night. I'm thinking something I can safely lie on top of would be good for my back [and thus my shoulders, and thus my arms, and thus my hands], and I think such things exist, but if there are safety/availability constraints it's possible a blanket would be preferable.
