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.

A hand warmer for the pushchair handle 😂 it's been a good send this winter!

I have just purchased this gorgeous little silver and morganite ring from Etsy and am totally in love with it! Wasn’t expensive, but looks so pretty!

A set of Joseph and Joseph stacking bowls/sieve/colander/measuring spoons. It makes me so happy they are all kept together and take up little room

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..
They will last for weeks and weeks past the date, easily.

I loved this the moment I first used this. It amazes me how smooth and controlled the pour is and how the oil doesn't dribble anywhere it shouldn't. I think everyone should have oneGrin

@Oldh

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.
Do you mean getting air to your eyelids? The mask isn't airtight, and your eyes and eyelids will get oxygen from your red blood cells.

@JesusSufferingFuck22 love your username! Grin

A mini chopper in tkmaxx was about £5, chops all my garlic and onion and veg super tiny and now I don't smell of onion all the time 😂

Your bag made me smile!

And like another post, I love the little daffs in pots and a couple of bunches of daffs makes me so happy :0))

Sunshineboo · 21/03/2022 20:39

a bright yellow stapler. i don't staple much but i love how cheery it looks on my desk and how lucky i feel when i do need one :-)

@Supertree

A little keyring which clips into a bag and has an extendable cord on it. My extremely disorganised and forgetful son now can't lose his keys and get locked out of the house. Life is far less stressful.
Ooh where is this from please?
TheJade · 21/03/2022 21:08

My mum buys me a calendar every year for Christmas. I swear without it I will be even more disorganised than I currently am. It’s awesome and each month has a little pocket so I can pop all letters, party invites etc in there.

I also bought myself a gold anklet, and for some reason I really enjoy wearing it every day.

@implantreplace

I’m thinking of treating myself to a neom diffuser

Anyone have experience / thoughts on them?

I love mine and use it all the time. I don’t burn candles anymore. I’d buy another if it broke.

My fridge magnets from everywhere we go holiday wise. Even places like Blackpool 😂 they make me smile and they are all over my fridge holding up drawings, notes etc

dementedma · 21/03/2022 21:33

My one and only tattoo. Very small but of huge sentimental value.

Clearthinking · 21/03/2022 21:36

A gnome that shows a bit of bum cheek/crack. It was a fiver I think, still in mums garden over ten years later

Heronatemygoldfish · 21/03/2022 21:37

Bird feeders. I love watching the birds as they make me smile and lift my spirits. Even if it does cost a fortune in seed!

HisHX · 21/03/2022 21:38

My dog is little but thinks he’s a giant, if that counts? Best money I’ve ever spent

Why would air need to get to your eyes? They don't breathe. Either way, eye masks aren't suctioned on so there's still air getting in /through material.
TabithaTittlemouse · 21/03/2022 21:55

@Candlecassie can you only use neom scents in it?

TabithaTittlemouse · 21/03/2022 21:57

@TaysideTeuchter thank you! (I also work for the nhs, maybe it should be a new uniform 😉).

I like fridge magnets. I used to have a few nice ones, but have an integrated fridge and freezer now so can't put them up.
