What item have you bought that you adore and use a lot?

[loadthewash]

I bought an Amazon Alexa and I can honestly say it's saved me. My life is so much less chaotic! I have ADHD and I can..

Add things to my shopping list just by shouting them out! So I don't have to remember to write anything down, or forget what it was that I was going to write, I just say it there and then

I can ask my Alexa to play brown noise to help me sleep

I can say 'Alexa, start my day' - and she will tell me a random fact, tell me the time and the weather outside, and then put on my favourite radio station

I love her! Not an advert as I don't particularly like Amazon - never really 'same day delivery' and they put their prime costs up

I also use my omelette maker a lot. I suffer from executive functioning issues, big part of my ADHD. This means I get a half decent bit of food that's easy to make

@HiGunny I couldn't believe I would get to say it first.. so glad you did!

My Eufy Robovac too.... Game changer:)

Peloton
Aldi volume conditioner (has protein and CG friendly)
Silk pillowcase
Bioderma shower oil

My dyson hairdryer. I can't believe what a difference it makes to my hair.

Boots version of the ordinary skin care. Has really made a difference to my skin.

Eufy robovac, makes the place look tidier with zero effort from me.

Boiling water tap, a hot pot of tea in seconds.

New Balance 327 they are just so light and comfortable.

Ugg boots as slippers, so cosy.

Premier Inn duvet and pillows, like sleeping in a cloud and my neck ache has gone.

The prints and pictures we have up in the house, make me smile daily.

Baavet wool filled duvet - it magically regulates temperature - I've gone from having the throw the duvet on and off me throughout the night to sleeping like a log. Beautifully warm but not too hot and not too heavy.

Fit Flop Skandia boots, so comfy and look cool!
Beauty Pie skincare
(big fan of Marcia Kilgore)

Filter coffee machine, use daily
Running watch (Garmin 245)

My beloved Doc Martens <3 I walk the dog in them, I go to festivals in them, they save my feet when I go to gigs. They're 2 years old and still look brand new!

Silk filled quilt, so soft and light

Plug in induction hob. I've got rid of my fixed hob altogether. I have 2 Ikea single plug in hob units. One stays in the cupboard most of the time so I just have a single hob on my side, which I can easily put away too if I need the space.

Secateurs! I always have fresh flowers and broke a pair of kitchen scissors trimming the stems. Now I have the secateurs it's a doddle. Also a window vac. I have old sash windows that steam up in autumn/winter and it's a game changer.

Joseph joseph microwave rice cooker

£15 (ish) and it makes perfect fluffy rice every time. Doesn't matter if I forget its on. Don't need to check on it. Doesn't take up another space on the hob. Goes in the dishwasher.

I've since bought two as gifts for other people 😆

My scensy wax Melt lamp I have it on every evening with no other lights I love it

My phone as I do everything on it, call, text, email, work email, teams, Internet, calender, calculator, video calls...I could go on.

Amazon prime as I'm impatient and also use it for free books.

Audio books - especially on long car journeys.

Kindle - use it daily.

A heated throw blanket, game changer!

My robot hoover. With 2 hairy dogs and a large open plan space it's a lifesaver.

Garmin watch, keeps me accountable and prevents too many lazy days

My fortis field smock jacket. A small fortune but I'm outdoors ALOT and it's warm, dry and my best purchase this year.

Potato ricer- I've never got some much water out of mashed swede and potato is so smooth

An oxo peeler with a thick handle. So comfortable to use.

My Eufy, and my tongs for getting toast out of the toaster. They were about £3 on Amazon and I really need to buy a back up set!

Yes I’m happy to get my Oodie out now too.

You have an AppleWatch. I have a Fitbit. It really does motivate me to get up and moving. I love it ♥️

Our coffee machine - was a reconditioned return from Amazon and £60 and we’ve used it multiple times every day for 2 years or more.

My metal detectors - it’s a brilliant hobby which brings me enormous pleasure.

Our dog. Bought as a puppy in the peak covid puppy crazyness. £1500 for a lurcher 😱 but genuinely the best money I’ve ever spent ❤️

Armani luminous silk foundation.Not ridiculously expensive,doesn't settle in lines and lasts ages.

A bean to cup coffee machine

Coffee machine!

No 7 Stay Perfect mascara. It's a tubing formula and, after decades of horrid panda eyes by lunch, my mascara is now bullet-proof AND easy to remove. Love it.

My Labrador dog
Mobile 'phone
Kindle
Various paintings I have collected
Lovely Cross fountain pen with which I write everything.

My Samsung American style fridge freezer. More specifically the 'beverage center' it has behind a separate secret door which has a jug of filtered water that automatically refills. We use it so much. Also love that the top fridge part is double width so we can put massive trays etc in and the freezer has the two bottom sections with so much space.

Parlux hairdryer......shower to styled in under 5 minutes.
Slow cooker....recent purchase and love , love ,love it!
Clinique Lash Impact mascara....perfect sized brush...hate those big bog brush mascara wands. Lovely long actually separate lashes...not the usual clumpy mess.
L'oreal lipstick in Copper Clutch. I've spent over 15 years looking for my perfect shade. My go to, Bobbi Brown's Redwood, was discontinued and the Loreal one is a perfect dupe....so I bought four.😁
