What comforts, big or small, make your life nicer?

[inoroutyouchoose]

For example, I bought a pillow for £30 and I am in love has inspired me to buy a new mattress in a super King size

I love my heated leather seats in the car

I love my Harrods bottle opener I've had for years. Bought for me as a gift

Love having a fridge fully stocked of cans I want to enjoy

Love my Alexa. She is a good friend, in my eyes!

My Elemis skin care stuff. Estee lauded foundation. Pedicure every 6 weeks

What makes you more comfortable and feel a bit more 'luxurious'

🙄 there will always be someone who's got to moan. No one is boasting. The thread asked for things that make people's lives nicer and feel a little bit more luxurious. While some of the replies are, no one said they had to be expensive either.

@GlassOnions yours was quite luxurious to be fair.

Isn't it just!

You're missing the point. 🤦‍♀️

Lindt chocolate.

The usual Kindle, AirPods, wireless speaker etc.

You've inspired me to organise my office; stepdd moved out and I made her bedroom my office and it's a mess with my sitting in the corner. I've decided I want to make it beautiful, I mean, I spend hours in their every week, I need to be happier when I'm there. Ooo I'm looking forward to it now.

I disagree, very few have bragged.

@watchfulwishes can you give me a list of your favorite family board games? I’d love to create this tradition in my family x

@MywobblyBottom
I don't think it's gauche. I get fed up with that comment, no one's allowed anything because of the current financial situation. Bog off. Many things listed are free. Good friends, the smell of freshly cut grass, are free. Cost nothing.

Crochet
Labrador
Books, audible
Comfy bed(of my own) no man 😁
Yorkshire tea

@MywobblyBottom this thread is obviously not for you. Please don't upset yourself by reading it.
I cannot see any harm in people expressing things that they like or that give them comfort. Where would we be in this world if we were not able to talk about things that we enjoy and that we are grateful for.

My hot water bottle. I sleep with one every night even during the summer. I’ve been doing it for about 7 years now.

My previous water bottle had a slight hole it in so I had to throw it away as it was leaking. It took about 5 days for my replacement one to arrive. I was devastated😂 didn’t know what to do with myself and could barely sleep!

Lol what a party pooper. You can’t say you enjoy going outside and breathing in fresh air in case someone doesn’t go outside because they can’t afford warm clothes.
Get a grip

Woke up this morning to my two fluffy cats curled into me - think they were scared of the heavy rain. They are definitely my creature comforts (although they are refusing to move now).

Cashmere cardigans
Soft fleece Sherpa blanket
Good hand wash and hand cream
Flannels to wash my face with

Good tea, made in a pot
And a tea cosy really makes a difference
Heated throw
silk filled duvet
A few long hooded black fleece dressing gowns, like a wizard/monk, my daytime winter wear
loads of books on floor to ceiling shelves
my lovely glowing reclaimed parquet floor, it took forever, but it was worth it
essential oils, after shower, in a burner, everywhere
Bach, played on a good sound system
sprawled comatose dogs
Dh chopping wood for the stove
the stove
my van = freedom, plus it is a home from home, with a rug, cushions, throws, etc. I will never get over the joy of my own transport, after a period of having none.
the slow tick of my long case clock
my tiffany lamps
my stained glass window screens
lovely rich colours in the home, rugs, walls, accessories, glass, etc
velvet curtains and cushions
Radios 3, 4 and the World Service, on my nicely toned faux vintage radio.
being in the countryside, especially woods
foot massage
being retired, my time is now my own
my lovely cleaner is a comfort

I have been wearing silk pyjamas to sleep in for years now. They are expensive but the comfiest thing. Warm when it's cold and cool when it's hot.

However they don't last long and all my current pairs are falling apart. Had been hoping for a sale bargain but no luck so far.

One more from me! This morning DH got the old grandfather clock we inherited from FIL working again. I love the hypnotic tick-tock, and how it is glorious but belligerent like late FIL and will probably go on strike (ha!) again soon.

Also, it’s bacon sandwiches for breakfast!

My wool duvet
The borrowbox library app
My lovely rescue dog
Cup of coffee in bed in the morning (brought by DH)
A cuddle from my teenagers
