What is the best thing you've bought this year?

[Winterfellismyhome]

Just for fun! Aside from property/cars, whats the best thing you've purchased this year?

Mine has to be my rice cooker/steamer. Sad i know 😁

Dyson v10. Oh I love it so much, it makes housework... enjoyable

Fly nets for the windows and a magnetic fly curtain for the back door. They were only from Aldi, but what a difference!

Also a basket for my bike so I can bring all DSs playgroup art home, and a down jacket in the January sales which I think saved me from playground hypothermia a number of times!

A big smart TV for the front room. It's made me so happy.

A stereo for my car which does Spotify and sat nav.

Fish tank (from a Mumsnetter friend) - we spend more time staring at it than the TV!

Trampoline for DD (after listening to her pester for about 2 months we finally gave in - she's on it every day)

A Clarisonic for my face. It makes me feel so squeaky clean!
Agree with Spotify and the cordless Dyson lovers, wouldn’t be without mine.

Breville halo.

Reduced from £1050 to £15 in TK Maxx sale, a dead plain Margiela jacket with a leopard print collar. It looked terrible on the limp sale hanger among all the broken biscuits but when I tried it on I knew we were BFF. Perks everything up.

Bagel cutter. No more bleeding fingers and lots more toasted bagels. The kids that couldn't possibly make a sandwich or toast some bread themselves think it's amazing and it has reduced the cries of "can I have a snack mum" by 78%

A husqvarna automatic lawnmower- it has revolutionised our weekend, and not coming home to long grass after a 2 week holiday was fab!

Air tickets to France - rekindled my relationship with my sister, DCs got to go abroad..

But Chilly bottle is pretty good too!

And a lovely vintage duffle coat I am looking forward to wearing again in the winter.

My cordless Shark vacuum. It’s amazing!

Also, my egg-boiler. I love eggs for breakfast but have got so much to do in the mornings, that I usually missed the point they started boiling so it was a bit of guess-work as to when they were done. Now I stick them in the machine and can forget about them until it beeps at me. Perfect degree of softness each time! Also, if you do hard-boiled eggs in it they are really easy to peel, far easier than when I do them in a pan.

Bought for me: Make up remover wipes from cheeky wipes. Saved a fortune on cotton wool, cleanser/toner/moisturiser cos I now use coconut oil instead. Skin looks good and it’s better for the planet!

Received: Egg cooker from Lakeland. Does a variety of eggs, works quickly with minimal mess.

Bought for me for a big birthday- my Apple Watch.

My Chilly bottle

@bike thats lovely

Totally agree about the Spotify membership. Use mine every. Now going to check out Chilly bottles!

Dyson v10 animal. Gets rid of dog hairs in seconds, I absolutely love it!

My contigo thermal mug. I didn't expect to love it quite as much as I do. I can drink camomile tea snuggled up in the middle of the bed without the risk of spilling it.

Also, a bottle of arctic fox hair dye in aquamarine. I have had sensible, boring hair all my life, and now random strangers stop me to tell me how much they like my hair.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9, amazing phone.

One pair of Dolce and Gabbana sandals and one pair of Dolce and Gabbana shoes. Both from T K Maxx - absolutely thrilled with them!!!! And total bargains, compared to full retail price.

I bought a stain v10 this weekend. Love it so much already
In fact, I’m having to do stealth vacuuming because my dh is now laughing at me using it so much. Might need to ltb if he doesn’t go back to work soon and leave me with my toy

Pair of shorts. Had no idea this summer would be so sunny.

A sleepy head. Oh my goodness.

@AuntieMay yes!! I love our auto mower more than anything. Our grass has never ever looked even half this good!!
