It's the little things in life....

What are the little things in life that just make the day / moment 'nicer'? I'm thinking along the lines of having a favourite mug for coffee in the morning.

I've got a non milestone birthday coming up and would love to suggest little things that could be used every day rather than anything 'big'

So many lovely suggestions here, OP. I totally concur with:
PJs
Candles (St Eval for me- divine).
Lovely slippers (got Giesswein for Xmas and adore them)
High count cotton bedding
Delicious handcreams
A foot massage
Pedicure
Voucher for a back massage
Handbag in soft leather (across body one for me with handy pockets- not too large but large enoughGrin)
Soft Birkenstocks
My Oodie - got mine for birthday and it is the most AMAZING thing I have ever had. I'm a cold person mainly, so this is bliss. Everyone is envious of it!

Hi, yes the bristles are bamboo too, not just the handle of the brush, it just gets the knots out so much easier and then glides through the hair, they're supposed to be so much better for the hair than plastic brushes, they help with hair growth as they stimulate the scalp, reduce breakage and from the first use of mine I can tell such a difference. It sounds like I'm trying to sell them lol, I'm just so surprised at how good they are.

In the winter putting underwear and socks on the radiator the night before so they are warm when you get dressed in the morning Smile
That takes me back! I used to do this for DC when they were little so they had warm uniform to put on when the mornings were frosty. They are now both at uni.

A pair of sparkly ear studs .
Someone said fairy lights , i love them too , warm white up all year round and in the garden too .
A freshly cut lawn and the lush green of nature at this time of year.
Perfume every day , not just for occasions.
A brand new house magazine .
And one of life's best things a clean bed with line dried bedding .

Spark Joy as Marie Kondo would say! Very important. Favourite mug, blanket, clothes, biscuits and a new episode of whatever mind numbing nonsense Im into like Below Deck med!
Also, reading an Agatha Christie in a garden chair when it's warm with a breeze, nice drink beside me, baby asleep, small jingles from windchime in the willow.
