If you wanted to treat yourself....

[Cowtrina]

What would you buy?
I've recently received a small pay rise and would like to treat myself.
Something under £50 and just for me. Something that will last so I can use or look at and will make me smile.

I stumped though. Don't need perfume or candles, I don't really wear jewellery or make up.
Any ideas? Thanks

Ah.. was about to suggest a candle!

A nice silk pillow case?

Ooh or pjs

Nice new pyjamas and slippers or some nice Molton Brown treats

Posh gin glass and a nice bottle of gin

An Alexa for your bedroom to listen to podcasts before you go to sleep and wake you up to the radio?

A globe. We bought one on a whim a couple of years ago and I love it. Totally love looking at random countries.

Food maybe a dinner out

But the silk pillow idea is not bad either

Plants for the garden.

Books
A vase for flowers

A nice bag or shoes?

A nice vase. Table lamp or a handbag?

I’d buy a necklace or perfume but that’s no good if you don’t wear either.

What about a bag/dress?

Luxurious silk robe or a warm fluffy one?

Books?

Fancy honey or gem? A fancy version of whatever food/drink you like

Wine tasting or cooking class?

Magazine subscription?

Flower delivery subscription?

Massage, facial or Diptyque something

Yeah I agree a nice massage or something. I’m not really into stuff but I do love a pampering treatment!

I'd get good quality clothes that I'd wear all the time and will last.

A beautiful houseplant or pyjamas. Or! A heated throw?

Some lovely loungewear?

A beautiful lamp?

A big vase?

A nice pen and some paper or a notebook?

My weighted blanket was £50

I’d buy one or a selection of (some lasting, some less so!)

Nice shower gel
Hotel chocolat alcoholic fruit covered in chocolate
Craft stuff
Bamboo socks
A bird feeder
A cookery book
Some of those retro travel posters, framed
National trust membership
A nice backpack

I would get an ice cream maker if I did not have one. Or a nice framed print. Or a brilliant boardgame.

I bought a beautiful hydrangea with £50 gardening vouchers bought for me. It brings me so much pleasure each year and just gets bigger and better. It's called pinky winky

I love these handmade socks as well!
