I know this has been done before, but let's have a nice cheerful thread about the little purchase that thinks it's a giant. I have just bought a really cute hob kettle that makes me happy when it whistles Grin. I swear the tea tastes nicer too.

My egg boiling doohickey that changes colour so you can cook the perfect boiled egg every time. Even for my fussy DH! Grin

My miniature drunken gnomes around a camp fire. Make me smile every time I dust.

My salt rock lamp. I love that warm cosy glow

Utterly ridiculous thing to own as an adult but I love it.

I have a travel pillow, originally bought fror camping... its a permanent fixture on my sofa. It's lovely and soft and squishy but quite firm and best of all it washes well! Had it for 5 years now and still almost like new!

We all need the little purchases that make us smile.

Stainless Steel & Titanium Clothes pegs. I live on a very windy hill in Scotland. They are awesome!

A super duper natural brush back scratcher. Had an incredibly satisfying scrubby bath today having just received a new one today.

My son bought me a hippo that has its mouth open-and the bottom part of the jaw is a bowl to keep things like my keys and rings
He’s sitting on my front window sill and watches the world go by

I luffs him

BlueBlueCowWondering · 19/03/2022 20:47

2 pots of tête-à-tête daffs from the Co op. A few weeks of seeing them grow and bloom then I plant in the garden ready to flower again next spring.

£2. Makes me so happy Smile

I need those too. My pegs are getting looser and I’m forever picking up flapping sheets.

I have just bought (off eBay) a dinosaur print, corduroy pinafore type dress. I absolutely love it! At 42 I might be too old for dinosaur fabric but I don’t care! Grin

WeDontShutUpAboutBruno · 19/03/2022 20:52

I bought a heated bag sealer this week and have spent a large part of the day sealing bags of stuff in my freezer. It made me really happy 😂

PhoboPhobia · 19/03/2022 20:56

It sounds odd but I love the clicker I bought to train the puppy. Was struggling before but have had great success with the clicker. I find it very comforting!

Elephantscantfly · 19/03/2022 20:57

These! they make me bizarrely happy for something so garish and plastic 😁

FleetwoodRaincoat · 19/03/2022 21:00

A king size duvet for £15 for our double bed. Much better sleep and looks nicer too.

Pyrex magic pizza baking tray

Last year Asda were selling drinking glasses with little koalas on them. I bought three and the same day DP accidentally broke one. Drinks taste so much better out of a koala glass and I guard the remaining two! Can't buy them any more Sad

I used to have nice eyebrows that never needed anything beyond a bit of plucking, but they greyed and thinned. What feels like 2942785 million high end products and treatments later, I found this. Subtle but it works brilliantly (and is so cheap)

Emma Bridgewater spotty mugs, they are very solid and cheery, like something you’d see in a picture of a kitchen in a children’s story.

My new puppy is little and I love her
