A really good quality planner. Expensive but I use it all day every day so it is nice to have something that feels good. Smile

Flowers here too. I thought about cancelling but they're so lovely that I'm prepared to make other sacrifices to keep them.

SmallElephant · 03/01/2022 18:13

Same as you OP - books. I buy loads of kindle books and don't worry about finding 99p bargains. It's my main indulgence!

Designer handbags and gel pedicures. Occasionally manicures too but I’m religious about getting my feet done, makes a huge difference. Also regular hair cut / colour. Good skincare.

cobblers123 · 03/01/2022 18:18

Having my feet done regularly, they feel fantastic afterwards and I no longer need to cut my toenails, they're done each time.

Also Gardeners World subscription.

NewYearCalavicci · 03/01/2022 18:20

Mine is Audible too, I always use the free credits and about every 2 or three months buy some extra creds .

I also have Amazon Prime , but no other tv packages .

I also like good coffee but I have been lucky , I haven't had to buy any for a while , a company I work for ordered the wrong type ( beans instead of ground ) they were going to just bin it till I got my mitts on it , 9 x 2kg bags !

Tibtab · 03/01/2022 18:22

NewYearCalavicci · 03/01/2022 18:22

oh and spotify , if I am not listening to a book then I am listing to music . , I guess I can add headphones to the list too, I am a clumsy sod and break a pair a year on average

Lacedwithgrace · 03/01/2022 18:25

Fresh flowers, spotify and prime, takeout coffee most days.

Used to be getting my nails and hair done but the good salon near me is run by anti-vax loons

DroopyClematis · 03/01/2022 18:25

Good food.
Gardening.
Stunning holiday cottages ( not so much these last couple of years, obviously)

Don't care about clothes, jewellery, bags, perfume, makeup or nails.

Eileen101 · 03/01/2022 18:26

Oatly barista - the only oat milk I like in tea.
Nice loose leaf tea.
A takeaway per month.

Not completely personal, but I like to buy my kids nicer clothes - frugi, mini boden etc. I enjoy it more than shopping for myself so it's definitely a luxury Blush

SarahJessicaParker1 · 03/01/2022 18:28

Make up and nails are borderline essential for me due to my work, where appearance is important.

Luxuries for me are probably more things like cinema and theatre tickets. I go on my own to the Everyman sometimes and order snacks which I don't have to share Grin. It's the best!
