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 😁

amusedbush I hope I can post the same next year

a picnic cool bag. Not one of those
Massive square ones. It’s a shoulder bag with proper insulated inside and some small ice blocls. Revolutionised our days out.

My Precisely, My Brow Benefit pencil and a proper lesson in how to give myself perfect eyebrows every day.

A cute and very naughty little puppy

I think the thing that's given me the most pleasure day to day, whilst being pretty cheap to buy = a couple of fountain pens and a selection of ink.

Levis denim shorts -have had so much wear out of them, thanks to the wonderful summer.

Mac Teddy eyeliner has been my best new makeup discovery this year.

And a silly one, but one I'm v happy with: one beautiful teaspoon! We have lots of cheapo teaspoons, but I bought just one really lovely one, which means that my morning yoghurt now seems much more of a treat!

I got it in the sale, after being told categorically year after year that the colour I wanted would not go into the sale. I had planned to buy it at Heathrow later this year but I got an even better deal than I’d hoped!

Chilly bottle owners - daft question but what do you actually use them for? Hot and cold wise?!

Dyson cordless Hoover- life changer

Another vote for cordless Dyson here - never thought I could get so excited by a vacuum cleaner but I love it. Wall-mounted in a tiny space where it is immediately accessable but not too visible, takes seconds to whip out and hoover up crumbs after meals

A new mattress, DM Chelsea boots and a Gudrun Sjöden linen coat. Oh, and a Lipstick Queen lippy in Saint Berry shade.

Dyson V10

My new nipples - they've changed my life and I adore them every day

I have a chilly bottle and a sho one and a food flask...apparently sho are stopping their bottles because their are so many out there.

My fave new thing is my g ro suitcase. I have to lift it up and down stairs just because I can!

My membership to Slimming World

My Roscommon Dubarry boots

Bikerunski - where did you get your duffle coat? I have been looking for one for years and just can't find one I like!

Just occurred to me that between 5 Chillys bottles, I have over £100 of reusable insulated bottles

Merrell sandals. I've wanted some decent sandals for years but felt like it was too much to fork out for footwear that was more air than shoe. They are so so comfortable and I have lived in them since they came home with me. I've walked and walked and walked in them, with no rubbing or discomfort and they are still in really good nick. I don't think I'll ever wear flip flops again, and am gutted the weather will be cooling soon forcing me back into trainers. I now have stripey feet but don't care

My Fitbit, my lovely memory foam kingside mattress and my 3 monthly Brazilian blow dry treatment. All ££ but so worth it.

Collection lash surge mascara as recommended on here. Fab (and cheap!)

My shark cordless vacuum...even the kids enjoy using it!

My birkenstocks, it has taken me years to take the plunge and I absolutely love them.

maddiie Piiiiiics!

An Ebay bargain - pair of brand new skechers, they are like walking on soft fluffy clouds.

What’s so great about Chillys bottles? Do you drink straight from them or do you pour into a glass! Doesn’t the water taste metallic?? Do they go in the dishwasher ?

Flights to Amsterdam ✈️

Sugar soap in a ready made spray bottle. I’m not particularly good at keeping the house spotless and bought this because our walls were embarrassing - lots of smudgy finger prints. Couldn’t believe the difference. Lots of people asked if we had the house repainted (oh the shame!). Couldn’t believe it just wipes the walls clean. It’s addictive. Can’t stop using it.
