£40 to spend on myself - WWYD?

I have £40 to spend on myself. What would you get? I am so used to being frugal I don't want to waste this, I don't want candles, gin or smellies - I want something I never knew existed that will change my life...

My interests are running, yoga, and raising teenagers. My entire house needs decorating but obviously £40 doesn't go far on paint/curtains etc so I don't really want to put it towards that kind of thing. Pre covid I loved browsing charity shops and would have spent it in them, getting random lovely things and also knowing a good cause would benefit.

You need some Sweaty Betty leggings. They've changed my life. You can shop at the Bicester Village outlet via WhatsApp atm and you'll be able to get a pair for about £40.

You are worth every penny and more! I would buy a nice face cream, something with an SPF in it as we go into spring/summer. It will last ages and do you good.

A yoga strap and some blocks to help me stretch and finally get my elusive splits!

Smart plugs and bulb if you have an Alexa or Google home. Love my coffee being ready in the morning and also love switching my electric blanket on without having to move.

Really intrigued by this: why are they so different?

I’d buy a new yoga mat or running kit

@WisestIsShe what a lovely idea on the heated rug for outside

Does your favourite charity have an online shop as you could spend it there?

Fitness scales are what I bought myself recently and a new yoga mat and a warm hoody. Enjoy treating yourself Smile

Books probably! Or half on books and half on some nice PJ's. M&S had a sale on the other week (might still be on) and I got some lovely reduced nighties and slippers!

A heated throw. Mine has changed my life for the better.
