Best non essential buys of 2020

[PurpleDandelions]

If you had to send back all but 3 of the non essentials that you bought last year what would you keep?

For me:
Roomba robot vacuum cleaner
Merrell hiking trainers (so much more comfy and waterproof than my old ones)
This dressing gown from Reserved (perfect level of cosiness). Currently on sale in XL
www.reserved.com/gb/en/zx844-01x/zx844-01x-t04-szlafrok-k-janka

Apple Watch, paddleboard and bread machine!

Could you please link to the Merrell's you recommend? I'm desperate for some proper walking shoes! Currently managing with Nike trainers and socks obviously getting soaked!

Ninja grill
Audible subscription / calm it has kept me sane
Walking boots and Nordic poles - very keen walker/hiker but my shoes were getting so old

@sameday2021 I bought these:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B072JM4GMZ/ref=ppxyoodtbbasintitleeo07s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I confess I didn't do much research, they were a bit of an impulse buy.
Size up to fit hiking socks.

Oh and doesn't count as a buy as it was free, but the free BorrowBox library app has saved me a fortune on Audible.

@SpudsandGravy my Brompton is looking very sad. Hasn't been used for 9 months ☹️

@LunaNorth I'm tempted by Sweaty Betty leggings. Any advice on which ones to buy? I mostly cycle and do yoga.

@Tier10 interested to know which curlers you bought please? I have long thick hair and the curls just fall out.

@PurpleDandelions honestly, they’re all great. I usually wait for the sale because they are expensive, but they’re such good quality.

Thanks. The boring black ones never seem to be on sale.

@Rainbowandscarlett can you tell me more about your weighted blanket please?
Why did you get one and how did you decide which weight to get?

Microscoter
Charlotte tilbury glitter primer
Sun loungers, bbq and paddling pool

Paddling pool
Duolingo language app
Disney, Netflix and Prime subscriptions

OP the power leggings (Sweaty Betty) are the best running leggings I have.
