I have £20 burning a hole in my pocket. I don't need anything crafty but could be persuaded to try something new.

I fancy the books that the A Discovery of Witches series maybe (I think that's what it's called -only seen one & it looked to be up my street).

I've been eyeing up several crochet pattern books but not sure I'll use them.

What small ish treat would you buy yourself? Maybe something will inspire me!

Plants/seeds/bulbs.

I'd buy tea. From here, I always make a point of going when I'm in York.

A big houseplant, something easy to care for but pretty.

aibutohavethisusername · 30/03/2021 19:43

Probably an expensive candle.

Rockbird · 30/03/2021 19:47

Hotel Chocolat - anything white choc with lemon/mango/raspberry/strawberry. I love zingy fruit chocolates.

Butternutsqoosh · 30/03/2021 19:55

Bottle of wine (maybe two) some small caramel eggs to put in the fridge, face mask and a copy of Men's Health magazine (so much better than Women's Health!) and it's got Mat Fraser in it this month

Boonlark · 30/03/2021 20:06

A kupilka for when I go larping again. It's a lovely mug for camping

So many lovely ideas, thank you all! (I remember starting a similar thread many moons ago & being "jumped on" because it wasn't loads of money I wanted to spend!).

I'm still undecided so am going to start with a browse of some nicer than usual soaps, and the tea someone linked earlier on.

@SpareBib - best one yet x

HoldontoOneMoreDay · 30/03/2021 20:59

I need some new knickers, so I'd be tempted to spend the whole lot on one or two really nice pairs, rather than getting a supermarket multipack. Nice lacy soft short-style ones that cover my mum tum.

AccountCreateUsername · 30/03/2021 21:00

I’m embarrassed to say my immediate thought was better wine and classier fags.

BrownEyedGirl80 · 30/03/2021 21:10

2 bottles of wine 🍷

lizardosis · 30/03/2021 21:13

I would save it until I would get £15 more and buy new earrings

chalktheblockwithglitterchalk · 30/03/2021 21:14

Posh body wash and moisturiser (no bath so no need for bubble bath 🛀)

doublemix · 30/03/2021 21:16

I'm a big book lover but I got half way through the 2nd discovery of witches and had to give in they are too long and surprisingly boring!

Whattheduck · 30/03/2021 21:19

Feather and Down Melting Shower Cream
Books
Nice rose wine or a Malbec
Lindor chocolate
Takeaway coffee and cake to enjoy sitting somewhere quiet
M&S sandwich and snacks
