What have you bought recently that has brought you joy?

[BrassicaBabe]

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.

A massive instant pot.
I am so fed up with constantly having to cook. This clever thing saves so much time because 1) it cooks super fast and 2) massive quantities that can be portion-frozen for later. Yay!!!

To the posters who have bought houseplants online, do you mind sharing where you got them? Thank you.

I bought the dog a new snuggle blanket for when he sleeps in my bed. He just snuggles into it and loves life. His happiness makes me happy.

Vintage knitting patterns for slippers, a jumper and hats and a modern one for a knitted Christmas wreath.

A new toaster and kettle never thought in my life I would off got excited about a bloody toaster and a kettle but hear I am at 30 excited and everyone is having toast

Ooh and some more throws can't seem to stop myself buying them

Pea shoots

A ‘Nana’ trolley to do my shop.

I see you all. Watching me. Coverting my sleek thorough-bred of a trolley; as I zip around the supermarket isles with my 3 wheeler. Flinging my shopping in with gay abandon.

^^

It’s given me more pleasure than I care to (publicly) admit.

I really want a nana trolley but my dc are currently horrified by the idea...I may buy myself one anyway once we move (I'm on a new purchases ban at the moment ).

The pattern to crochet this sheep

My new baby hamster

A weighted blanket. I’ve been waking at 4am for weeks and not being able to get back to sleep but since I’ve had this I sleep like a log.

@Walkley18 where are your Moroccan lights from please? I'd also like some of these...

Felt and sheepskin Seasalt "birkies"
Half price!

My fingerless gloves for working from home in :-) warm but able to still type properly in them.

My Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser.
It is a bit of luxury every time I use it, and it is helping DD get back into schoolwork too.

A glass Christmas tree in a sale (I have a little 'forest' of different glass trees) and a cute felt sheep that whispered for me to buy it (we have sheep here).

@TheFairyCaravan that is one awesome sheep.
I got given a baby hamster too and he’s awesome! 😊

My fiancée and I bought wellies and we went puddle jumping this afternoon. Was a lot of fun!
Love if!
I bought wellies for my two boys recently because they've just reached the perfect sized feet to use both mine and my husband's, so we have ours back

A beautiful Richard Bawden print, called Kites 2 Spring. Only problem is all picture framing shops are closed, so it can't go on the wall yet!

A camper van. We haven’t had masses of use (obviously) but I often just sleep in her when she’s parked on the drive! Love it so much.

This is my dream!

We’ve no idea where to start with them though as it’s a minefield as to if it’s best to convert or buy all done

What did you do and can you share any helpful advice?

Love these!

I've got a hankering for a camper van too.

I bought some roses from the local corner shop. A fiver! They make my kitchen look posh

Some cheapish ear buds from Amazon, they have changed my life I listen to podcasts on walks and in supermarkets (I'm the crazy looking one laughing out loud in the bread aisle 😅)
Also twinnings superblends sleep tea, delish
