My brother in law bought me a heated electric foot Massager for Christmas. I didn’t know I wanted it and now I use it all the time. In fact I’m using it right now!

Fleece covered electric blanket with many settings. Cold bedroom, warm snug bed, bliss.

My bluetooth super dooper hearing aids (meningitis when a kid). I can hear everything now, answer the phone, the doorbell, hear the TV, listen to things on my phone. My life has been transformed and is not half as "lonely" as it once was.

Re upholstered sofa. So good now, no more sagging and is big enough for me to stretch out on. With a heated throw of course!

Colour coded storage boxes. Reader I decluttered. If it doesn't belong in one of the boxes it is out the door to the charity shop/dump/someone who wants it.

Hi @Spect8 can I ask which brand/model hearing Aida you have please?
