I took delivery of my Accessorise Swarovski stacking rings today & they are fab! They are a perfect fit & only cost £12. Ideal for Christmas parties etc 🙂

I'm really happy with it. Downsides are the cord and the fact that it's quite heavy. It takes a lot less time to finish hoovering though.

A teeny Bluetooth speaker from amazon for £5. The sound is much better than you'd expect!

I bought a coat with loads of massive pockets, it's changed my life! I keep going out with no bag, it feels so liberating!!

I'm going to be screwed in summer!!

An ice cream attachment for my kitchen aid. Bloody awesome.

*Lockedoutof MN” I just googled Accessorise & then gold jewellery.

An instantpot electric pressure cooker.
I’m always doubtful when reading feedbacks saying how wonderful items are but I can’t believe just how good this is.
So far I’ve made beef stew, spareribs and pulled pork with bbq sauce.
Next thing to try is beef brisket.

Meet0nTheIedge · 03/11/2018 23:09

Instant Pot was the first thing that came to my mind too but I didn't post it as it's not all that recent, had it a couple of years now. Still love it.

Second the soup maker.
I'm doing slimming world and make lots of soup at this time of the year.
If you're thinking of getting one I bought the Morphy Richards 501040 and used the discount code SW4060 on their website and got a massive discount of £60!

Shelvesoutofbooks · 03/11/2018 23:16

High waisted jeans from zara for £20. I usually don't expect much or a good fit from most jeans as all of them seem to fall down but not these, these are just excellent, they stay put and look great.

Russel Hobbs Inspire toaster. On special offer at Robert Dyas. So much better than our old toaster.

bluejelly · 03/11/2018 23:17

Waitrose prawn and chilli pizza. About £5 but 👌

RebelWitchFace · 03/11/2018 23:29

@tigercub50 they're gold plated surely?

PawneeParksDept · 03/11/2018 23:32

Bumble and Bumble hair care

Instant Pot

ASDA pyjamas

Genius gluten free brioche rolls. Also Old El Paso gluten free tortillas.

LockedOutOfMN · 03/11/2018 23:54

Thanks, tigercub50.

lucysmam I did! Blush It's Natural Collection. Cost about 3 pounds, if I remember rightly, for a little tube. Only need a dab in the morning so it will last (I've been using it for 6 weeks already, probably 5 days a week on average, and hardly used any of the tube yet).

SealSong · 04/11/2018 00:18

My new coat. So chuffed with it. Cosy, practical, stylish and warm, I could live in it.

lucysmam · 04/11/2018 10:44

@LockedOutOfMN thanks, I'll have a look next weekend when I go to town for some Christmas bits :)

HairyStorm · 04/11/2018 10:50

Portable rotary airer. It has revolutionised the laundry pipeline. I'm actually in love with a glorified clothes horse.

LettuceP · 04/11/2018 10:52

Some personalised Santa sacks from Amazon for the kids. They were £7 each and I was dubious but the reviews were really good. Good quality, perfect size and they look really nice. Drawstring as well which I like.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 04/11/2018 11:00

Pieminister Kevin vegan pies. Nearly had a heart attack when dp first bought me one and said it was £3 but they are so good!

Puma trainers - so comfortable and narrow enough for my skinny feet.

susurration · 04/11/2018 11:05

A splash proof coat from Tesco for £35. Its in the style of the joules one I used to have that got lost (booooo), but it's a bit longer and has more pockets. I'm really pleased and have had a few compliments on it too.

doleritedinosaur · 04/11/2018 11:30

@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie my OH gets me a box of 4 from work, I love them so much. Going to have to get another box this week.

Mine are Method rhubarb spray, I’ve been using it every day for weeks & barely a third through. It smells so good too.

Superdrug Vitamin E products, so much cheaper & better than anywhere else I’ve tried. The face cream is as good as the very expensive face creams I’ve tried.

Morrison’s leggings, I can’t believe how thick they are. Ended up buying 3 more pairs.

CS12345 · 04/11/2018 15:32

Agree with the Method rubarb spray being fab!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 04/11/2018 16:04

Dinosaur - guess what I'm having for tea. :)
