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.

@MadameBlobby Thanks!

MadameBlobby · 17/01/2021 22:02

It is really nice :) just a shame I have nowhere to wear it except sitting on the sofa!

A set of Papermate Flair felt tips to make home schooling more bearable. They bring me small joy every time I use them.

Frenchdoors1 · 17/01/2021 22:05

@MadameBlobby Hopefully you'll be wearing it soon.

Crackinglife · 17/01/2021 22:11

Some buttons to sew onto some ear savers for nhs I've knitted ( bit embarrassing knitting at my age :-) ) and a litter picker for me and Dd to go and pick up litter as she is obsessed with all the rubbish on the floor says people have dropped it by accident she's only 3 :-)

@AuntyFungal

A glass cabinet for a much loved collection that's been in storage for seven years. I grin like a loon every time I walk past it!

myhobby · 17/01/2021 22:20

@MotherWol thanks. Looks great

CalmConfident · 17/01/2021 22:23

@MadameBlobby I have that necklace too! It is gorgeous. I think I might wear it tomorrow inspired by you - instead of saving it for best Smile

MadameBlobby · 17/01/2021 22:26

Why not @CalmConfident. I’m going to wear mine for Zoom work training day this week :)

majesticallyawkward · 17/01/2021 22:27

@Walkley18 I got the same embroidery kit! Was it a set of 3?

I treat myself to a coco and Eve hair mask, waaayyy more than I'd usually spend on a hair product but my hair looks and feels amazing. My curls look better than they have for ages, definitely a frivolous but joyful purchase!

buckeejit · 17/01/2021 22:29

Dymo embossing label maker. Love it!

Elpheba · 17/01/2021 22:33

I was given an ember mug for Christmas and it fills me with joy every day! I’ve gone from microwaving the same cup of tea three times to enjoying all my cups at the perfect temperature. Definitely my current favourite item.

A voited blanket. It's so cosy for both the sofa and sitting outside when we light the fire pit.

Gerbils!

HolaChicos · 17/01/2021 23:04

Wireless Bluetooth headphones.....amazing! I don't have to slip my phone in the waistband of my joggers when I'm in the kitchen now and keep retrieving it when it slips down my leg.....game changer!

Walkley18 · 17/01/2021 23:13

@majesticallyawkward no, just one, but I have ordered two different styles since I completed it and am awaiting them, a 20s flapper couple and a seaside scene - both v different! Can't wait to crack on with them.

lollipoprainbow · 17/01/2021 23:15

Some lidls white tulips which are placed in my £2 iridescent Poundland vase cheap as chips and so pretty !

thismeansnothing · 17/01/2021 23:15

My princess planning planner. Love filling it in each day

SalemsPot22 · 17/01/2021 23:16

My fiancée and I bought wellies and we went puddle jumping this afternoon. Was a lot of fun!

Magnetic false eyelashes! Sat in my home office working by myself - not even a zoom call but I have great eyelashes!

And some red heart lights that I'm going to string up outside for valentines!

Thank you, I have just ordered one Smile

TheSpottedZebra · 17/01/2021 23:34

A specially-shaped spatula for scraping stuff out if jars.
