Monthly subscription to Absolute Collagen sachets, I take one every day. Been doing it for a year and think there’s a difference in my skin, I’m 56 and feel I need all the help I can get! Costs about £60 a month, if I had to I’d cut it down to a sachet every 2nd day but at the moment I can afford it and I’m enjoying the indulgence!

Kindle, about 5 books a month.
I do my nails myself, so therapeutic and I'm good at it, lol, I do get good varnish though.
Bedding, I'll happily spend hundreds on my bedding but they last for years. Likewise night wear.
Gym membership, I've got to have a pool, so it's expensive.

I only really consider the gym membership as luxury though, the rest is just good sense. Buy quality and it lasts. I've never really thought books as luxury items, just life.

A really good face scrub from Lush made out of sea salt and lime juice - I feel brand new afterwards.

Nice pyjamas - I'm not a big clothes shopper but every few months I will treat myself to a new pair of pjs.

Kindle books - I love that feeling of going from no unread books in my library to four or five. But every now and then I will buy a proper book - one that looks like it would be best read as a physical copy instead of on a screen.

I also bought a more expensive duvet than I would normally do a year ago and that's it, there's no going back now! So good bedding that's a real treat to get into at the end of the day.

As a couple we also subscribe to all the subscription TV services so we never run out of things to watch BlushI don't even watch much TV but I find it really comforting to have on in the background.

DinosApple · 04/01/2022 08:29

Kindle books, maybe one or two a month. Books are one of the few luxuries I can afford at present.

It is indulgent because they are not something I need.

Nidan2Sandan · 04/01/2022 10:01

Books on my kindle, I buy approx 2-3 a month (I read alot)

My car, she's expensive but bloody hell I LOVE her. I've had her 18 months and still get a kick every time I drive her Grin

Always a decent car for both DH and I mine isn't particularly fancy but its new and reliable and I love it.
In pre covid pre pregnancy times at least four holidays / mini breaks each year.
I can pretty much pick something up in a shop and buy it.
I think my biggest luxury is my financial peace of mind. I don't need to think about when I get paid or watch my money at the end of the month growing up in pretty much poverty that's been my life goal.

KurtWilde · 04/01/2022 18:43

Starbucks house blend coffee beans so I can grind them at home.

Steaming subscriptions because we don't have actual tv channels just a games console hooked up to the telly.
