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.

[quote cherrypiepie]@walkersareback this one! [/quote]
Thank you so much - I'll be ordering one very soon!

@AllTheGoodOnesAreTaken, my absolute favourite is Misty Mountain from Etsy. You can't write on it very easily, though.

Some beautiful washi tape for the my bullet journal. And the journal itself - after years of chaos, I am now organised.

Also the hyacinths in pots now flowering madly in the front room.

I have seen washi tape and love the designs but what do you use it for?

Mine is Dior lipstick 999 velvet. It instantly lifts me.

@TaysideTeuchter and @Calandor
I need to know more about your masks.

OK, link: www.drowsysleepco.com/pages/the-drowsy-silk-mask

Mask is made of silk, and is padded. You can't see a thing when you're wearing it and it also muffles sound (due to the padding.) There's a velcro fastening so you choose how tight you want it. Comes in a really nice cardboard box (if you want to give it as a gift.) You can also buy a little drawstring bag for your mask if you want.

I should point out that I work for the NHS, not Drowsy!

Is it okay to have a sleep mask on? I thought that you need to get air to the eyes and anything padded/thick would stop this.

Soaps from Diptique. I stopped using liquid soaps a few years back because of the plastic waste and went back to bars. I usually bought them in Holland and Barrett- I’m allergic to SLS - but decided to splurge. Wow! It’s such a pleasure to wash my hands. They smell gorgeous. Last for ages. Gorgeous shape and no weird chemicals.

My Knitpicks Cubic circular needles in rosewood, much more comfortable to knit with than metal straights.

Jillybloop393 · 21/03/2022 18:05

Without doubt, my heated throw! Around £40.00 from Amazon, takes just a few minutes to warm up, and only 120kw, so cheap as a light bulb to have on. Bliss, pure and uttet bliss!

Picoloangel · 21/03/2022 18:08

A pencil case with a bee print and a bee on the zip from Next. It’s a silly thing but it makes me happy 😃

sarah77Boo · 21/03/2022 18:30

I have this hippo too. He's fabulous. Mine keeps little sweeties in. He's currently offering our guests chocolate eclairs. The rest of my family are not keen on him but I think he's wonderful. X

Subbaxeo · 21/03/2022 18:34

My black eye mask which means I stay asleep as the mornings get lighter!
My small Duralex glasses-cheap as chips but feel very chic.

Lucyeleven · 21/03/2022 18:34

Please can you post a picture. Just want to make sure I order the right ones 😊

sarah77Boo · 21/03/2022 18:35

My favourite thing has to be my heated throw. I treated myself to a faux fur dreamland intelliheat one as I suffer with fibromyalgia and heat is the only thing that really helps. I now have four of these fur throws as I get so worried one might pack up I keep buying spares and I also like them in different rooms of the house. They're fab. Love curling up under a heated throw to watch telly or read

Foolishnessismyfavouriteword · 21/03/2022 18:36

My Chillys series 2 pink cup! Love having a coffee or tea in the car 😊

Subbaxeo · 21/03/2022 18:36

Also Dior Nail Glow which stop my nails looking like My Little Pony-I work in NHS so can’t wear nail polish.

Picoloangel · 21/03/2022 18:45

Ooh yes and my heated throw!

@Cherrysoup

Socks from Asda that don’t strangle my swollen ankles.
Are these available online? Desperately looking for some for my mum!
bxlworriedmum · 21/03/2022 18:54

Small silicone spatulas of different colours. I use them several times a day! Jars of jam “finished” actually yield another slice or two, food resideus from tupperware or in tupperware doesn’t get wasted, brilliant for removing any trace of food before the sishwasher, etc. Cannot leave without 🙈

coodawoodashooda · 21/03/2022 19:03

A whistling kettle.

Does 45 free-range eggs for £1.50 count? Best before date in a week and a half, but they will last longer I’m sure..
