Share with me your recent retail therapy.

I bought these fairy lights from Cable and Cotton. I love the glow they've bought to my kitchen.

They are lovely!

I've bought seeds and windowsill propagators which are filling me with delight!

I also bought some amazing Moroccan lights for conservatory, not pictured, and embroidery kit to have a go, first time in 30 years. Finished result pictured, and have ordered two further patterns.

That’s so beautiful! How long did it take you to do?

I got forxmas so not me that bought it but a light up shower head! Bathroom looks like a disco when i use it, totally silly but makes me smile

Onedropbeat · 17/01/2021 19:03

For me essential oil candles.
I’ve stocked up from a local small maker and they are divine!

As good as expensive ones from department stores but so much cheaper too

I’ve also got some new rose bath oil which makes me feel indulgent

Magnetic fake eyelashes 😂
I normally have my lashes infilled every 2 weeks
Obviously can’t do this now
Can’t do those glue on lashes
But I love these magnetic ones
Wax melts - huge stash and electric burners amazing smell and cute light

Thank you @onedropbeat It didn't take long, probably about five hours in total. Here's the pic of Moroocan lights.

@im5050

What brand?!

Chunkymenrock · 17/01/2021 19:10

@im5050, which brand? I'd love to try them!

AuntieDolly · 17/01/2021 19:10

I got this little lino print which makes me smile every time I look at it

Tier10 · 17/01/2021 19:11

OP I read your title and was just about to say my colour changing candles and then I read your whole post! Looks like lots of us are enjoying out candles and fairy lights at the moment.

I bought myself a DeMellier handbag with some Christmas money. It arrived on yesterday a d unwrapping it was pure luxury. It made its debut today - grocery shopping at M&S 🤣

AnyFucker · 17/01/2021 19:15

Very posh coffee machine

A velvet-covered hot water bottle.

There is something very joyful about falling asleep with my feet on something hot.

The Duke from Bridgerton wasn’t available.

HesMyLobster · 17/01/2021 19:17

Plants!
I was missing the greenery of Christmas trees, wreaths and garlands in each room so I bought lots of houseplants online.

I've never been very successful with the odd plant I've had before but I'm really enjoying nurturing and looking after these!

And they really bring the house to life again🪴Smile

CrochetToTheMoon · 17/01/2021 19:18

These bras from Sainsbury’s. I bought two white, two black and threw out all of my wired bras. I’ve never found a comfortable wired bra so i’ve given up looking. I’m a 32G so I need the support and these definitely give that! So comfortable and supportive, i’m so happy I got them.

@CrochetToTheMoon do you mind including a link please, im a similar size & these sound like just what I'm looking for. Thanks

yuyubooboo · 17/01/2021 19:22

A yuyu long fluffy hot water bottle. It is wonderful!

I have that kit too! I did one image and got another almost finished before I put it down and never got around to doing more. I might dig it out next week.

Apologies I can't see the pic on my device

But you can buy pretty much the exact same brand on Amazon £10 -£12 😂
I bought the Amazon brand as well and I haven’t tried these yet but I’m pretty sure as everything is the same they will be just as good
I’m surprised at how easy they go on and stay on

Hoohaahoo · 17/01/2021 19:28

My oodie. It’s glued to me

scrivette · 17/01/2021 19:28

Walkley and Two where did you get the kits from? I would love to do one, it looks like the embroidery I used to do as a child when my Nana taught me.

I bought myself a Christmassy puzzle recently and have spent a couple of hours on it today which I really enjoyed, it was so relaxing (although the DC have been neglected and dinner was late!)

My White Company pyjamas I was given as a birthday gift recently have bought me lots of joy.

This is a lovely thread.

NotExactlyMrsCurrentAffairs · 17/01/2021 19:29
