What little luxuries do you buy/do/have that make you happy?

[GandolfBold]

Just thinking about the little things that cheer me up and that make me smile.

Radox bubble bath
Hayu membership because I love my reality TV
Exercise class which is the highlight of my week.

Fortnightly nails
Six weekly hair colour and cut
Taxis from main line station to wherever in London, avoiding the tube.

just reading this thread is soothing. makes me think of lovely things.... I need more of this in my life.

Flowers, nice wax melts and a really decent joint on a Sunday. Tonight we have sausages, veg and mash - total cost for 3 is under a fiver but yesterday I spent £14 on a rib of beef from the butcher!

I only drink out of China tea cups. Never out of any old mug I would rather not have a drink

More for him than me, but makes me smile!
A different or more expensive treat item for my cat, than what he'd normally have (snack or toy). When I come back from supermarket he tends to look in my bag for treats. It's always the same old same old. So occasionally he has a new toy or 'posh' bag of treats and to see his little face light up when he sees it is great (I don't have kids to spoil)

A bag of pick n mix from Tesco or Wilko or IKEA, not often but always occurs around PMS time. This combined with a new book (usually second hand)
A magazine that has a really good free beauty product that I actually want

Some new Original Beautyblenders in different colours
Not cheap but nothing beats starting a new one and I've not found any others that compare

My little alarm clock radio just arrive this morning, thanks to this thread!!

It’s so cute and I am really enjoying lying in bed listening to my favourite music.

😀

I have one of those battery-powered milk frother things. Every morning I make my coffee in my lovely le creuset mug with foamed milk and it feels really luxurious - like it is from a cafe. It's a morning ritual for me and I love it.

Acrylic nails every three weeks
Daffodils make me smile, my Grandma loved them
New soft towels
New soft lovely bedding
Freshly changed bed
Curling up on the sofa and into my husband's chest watching a silly film
Pizza takeaways

My martial arts class
Clothes from the posh charity shop
Nails done a few times a year
Hot bubbly bath, good book, fresh sheets
Sex
Breakfast out alone, in a nice cafe, reading a good book
Long walks
Nice wine at weekends

Trying to keep this thread going! Mine are:
Leisurely browse of garden centre, new plants in garden / pots
Facials / massage / spa day
Nails done, hair blow dry (usually a frizzy mess!)
Board games and alcohol with friends
Neals yard cheeses with plenty of bread and wine
Trying new restaurants

Sleep!
Fresh flowers
All manner of expensive skincare
Brows waxed and tinted at Benefit
I could go on...

A pack of custard creams is my idea of a luxury right now. Damn I'm broke.

Theatre tickets occasionally, but my ultimate treat is the ballet.
Battery operated candles grouped around the room. I like the glow and and the soft light in winter, plus no fire hazard.
Time for a good old natter with friends.
Buying books on kindle.
Middle of the night tea and toast.

I pay to get my car washed.

Had a mooch around an art gallery today and coffee. Felt very civilised and a bit of a treat.

Hand knitted socks
Knitting the above socks with hand dyed wool
drinking decent wine whilst knitting said socks
watching netflix whilst knitting socks and drinking wine and wearing another pair of hand knitted socks.
Montezumas chocolate
Above chocolate whilst knitting socks and wearing another pair of hand knitted socks.
Gluten free chinese takeaway, for lunch, followed by the above!

I go to ballet classes twice a week. I've made some amazing friends and it really is a highlight for me. Not that I'm very good mind you.
