Not necessarily expensive. Am, like many, feeling a bit down in the dumps at the moment. Trying to lose weight so where I would usually go with chocolate or takeaways that is out. Obviously a bit of pampering with a haircut or nails is also out. What’s your favourite non-food pick-me-up? I think I’ve defaulted to food for so long I’ve forgotten what else is out there!

Flowers.

My lockdown pick me ups so far include a mulberry purse, a coach bag and a Gucci belt. I need to move on to flowers or pyjamas before my credit card explodes. However, I feel no guilt, they make me happy.

A nice loungewear/ pyjama set always cheers me up

Nice Fabric to sew pyjamas and jumpers with.
Candles
Face scrubs and serums (nothing particularly expensive)

Agree with others flowers and plants are good. Lidl are selling lovely houseplants for £4 each so I got three!!! I bought myself a necklace from Fxxx the Tories which I'm looking forward to wearing. I love a candle and my aromatherapy diffuser is on now I'm at home all day.

I’ve never had a plant I didn’t kill Grin but I’ll look into it!
