Totally frivolous thread. Looking for inspiration of 2019 great purchases (unlike my 2017 spiralizer that is still in the box).

My purchases that I loved in 2018:

Water-Pik (tooth flosser that pulses water onto teeth)

Apple Watch (I love being able to go shopping and not even take out wallet or phone)

Ugg slippers. Fucking excellent things! I have slippers at 2 different jobs (nanny...I don’t work in Tesco in slipper...) and another pair of slippers at home and although nice, none of them are as comfy, warm and comforting as the ugg ones!

cordless vacuum cleaner.

Multi fuel stove! My lounge is so warm and cosy, no more cold nose and toes Smile

Foxyloxy1plus1 · 07/01/2019 08:20

My Apple Watch was a present and is worn every day
Bean to cup coffee machine.. Aldi coffee beans are surprisingly good too (glares at Aldi who were out of stock at the weekend).

Aeropress for coffee, it has rendered our Nespresso machine redundant.

LittleLongDog · 07/01/2019 08:24

Dishwasher. Absolutely in love.

@IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece
I asked for Ugg slippers at Xmas as heard they were the warmest, their okay but not brilliant for warmth so far.
I was wondering do you find they work best with or without socks?
I’ve been wearing them with socks but have seen some stuff on the internet that to get optimal heat you should wear Uggs barefoot, albeit this info I found was regarding Ugg boots not slippers.

Collapsible reusable cup. My old cup was big enough that I only took it out if I thought I was going to need it, but this one simply lives in my bag.

And washable sanitary towels that feel so much nicer than the disposable ones!

Misty9 · 07/01/2019 08:37

empress which ones do you use? I've got some but they are very bulky albeit soft.

Bezalelle · 07/01/2019 08:45

Sodastream, without a doubt!

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 07/01/2019 08:46

Theconifers25 I definitely prefer them without socks! I can’t say if they’re warmer or not generally because I hate wearing socks and slippers so rarely do but I find them much more cosier when I don’t have socks on

Nanalisa60 · 07/01/2019 08:49

Electric underblanket!! Brushed cotton winter bedding all so cosy!!

pizzacrisps · 07/01/2019 09:09

My dentists have all said that water flosses are absolute shite

CarolDanvers · 07/01/2019 09:10

A heated throw/blanket from Lakeland. It's the "fur"

CarolDanvers · 07/01/2019 09:12

Posted too soon. It's the "fur" one and it's glorious. My house gets very cold and I just whack that on full heat and am toasty. I've saved money on heating so far this winter for sure. The kids have one each too but not the lovely thick furry one I have got Grin. Can't recommend it enough.

Sorry @EmpressAdultHumanFemale I meant the sanitary towels...! Grin

EmpressAdultHumanFemale · 07/01/2019 10:13

Grin Sorry Misty!

Heated blanked sounds amazing!

Soda stream I fear would be something left in the back of the cupboard with the spiralizer Grin

I have the heated fur blanket too, it's amazing!

I also love our Echo & Amazon Unlimited music. Definitely a Best Buy. I especially love the hands free timers in the kitchen and the shopping list function Grin

Also a long, waterproof & toasty Craghoppers coat, I love being warm and dry

snozzlemaid · 07/01/2019 16:51

Mine would be a dishwasher and a heated clothes airier.

Tatiebee · 07/01/2019 16:58

My Instant Pot, I love it and use it almost every day.

BrexitDestruction · 07/01/2019 16:58

Heated throw without a doubt. Best thing I ever bought.

ComeOnGordon · 07/01/2019 17:03

A salad spinner

ihatethecold · 07/01/2019 17:06
