I am fortunate in that all the fly shops in my area carry kayaks and kayak accessories, and I buy from them.
My most recent purchase was a Scotty navagation light. I like it because I don't find myself trying to beat nightfall if I go out fishing after work. It provides enough light to tie on flies/knots/etc.
I put Nav lights fore and aft after being nearly run over at/after sunset.Plus added an anchor system (home brewed) to my canoe.

I've gotten a bunch of stuff from www.kayakfishingstuff.com
Those guys really know their stuff about what works on a kayak.
I got a naviation light for x-mas... so I don't know where that came from.
Scotty rod holder which proved it's value a thousand fold when I recently rolled my yak. When I righted it my custom Xi2 and Abel Super 6 were still attached.
Lowrance M68i GPS and echo sounder. Great for planning your route and getting the most out of your day on the water.
C-TUG wheels for the yak. Finally had enough of my Eckla trolley and it's now qute obvious design faults.
Those portable lights? sounds like a good idea. my latest buy was nylon rope for my anchoring system. More than a year ago. Not much of a shopper.
I've bought most of my accessories at KayakFishingStuff.
My most recent purchase, however, was made at the A.C. Moore craft store. I bought some adhesive backed velcro strips.
I put a strip in the cockpit of my Tarpon 120, and then the mate on the back of a waterproof sci angler's fly box. I think that works pretty good. The fly box is easily accessible, and there's less danger of it going over the side.
I'm going to try to find a spot for a drying patch attached in a similar way.
