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

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

Some cheap cosy loveliness:

jacket potatoes
a lovely big veggie lasagne
writing in a new notebook with a fountain pen
hot water bottles
soup and proper bread
sausage and mash with mustard
the first coffee in bed at the weekend
glass jars of face mask from Holland and Barrett

Last night I cooked cheesy spaghetti and salmon Linguini.. That gave me a lot of comfort and was so easy to make!

Weighted blanket, walking stick, homemade sweet and sour chicken Cantonese style with jasmine rice.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings

I too have a contraband kettle in my classroom, but mine is Earl Grey tea! 😃

Cashmere bed socks. (White Company)
So warm, but so light you can’t feel you have them on.

I now have a wish list as a result of this thread!!

Ooooh recipe please?

I made some oat and banana pancakes this morning. The smell was lovely, the kids got involved and then dh came home from the gym and got all happy as there was a lovely smell and warm breakfast waiting for him. We ended up chatting and messing around in the kitchen for ages and it was lovely. Felt safe and homely. It really is the little things

Audiobooks - listen everyday, every place I can!

Our cat and dog - both 16 months old, and the cuddles are the best!

My new skechers - great comfort for my sore heel

The new shower head - bliss

Candles in the bathroom. I light them every single time I shower, if it's dark, I never turn on the lights, just have candles.

Calm App

Watching my favourite YT families that have lots of kids - chaotic but very beautiful lives

@Rina66 I have a couple of recipes saved, I make my own version but it's generally somewhere between these 3. I've always preferred it vegetarian so I use vegetable stock.

@Rina66 1000 thread count from where please? Sounds utterly divine. I thought my 450 count was the epitome of comfort!

Heated blanket..

Hungarian goose down duvets..

Reflexology

Washers dryer

Dunelm sell them.

@TheRealKatnissEverdeen I buy mine from John Lewis and Next - it's beautiful bedding but be warned, it takes some serious drying!

This thread has really made me recognise and appreciate the things in my life that bring me joy, so I'm thankful for it.

I've taken more joy in grinding my coffee beans and making my coffee this morning and reflected that although the coffee I order from America might not actually be better coffee, due to the memories it has attached to it, it brings me more joy so is worth it.

I've properly stopped and thought about all the little things in my life that make me happy and it's made me realise how many there are and how lucky I am.

@Rina66 Ta v much. Hopefully January sales will be kind to me.

@KangarooKenny I do buy the 450 count Dormer bedlinen which I love. I didn't think they sold a higher thread count. Going to have a mooch online now. Thank you.

My engagement ring. It’s not something that particularly makes me more comfortable, but it certainly makes me happy looking at it. Had it for 18 years now and it’s still as beautiful and perfect as the day he gave me it. It cost an eye watering amount of money, something we’d never be able to afford now we have kids, but this was at a time when we had a much larger amount of disposable income. I had it revalued recently and it’s now worth three times what we paid for it, it’s now worth more than the deposit we paid on our house! So a good investment I feel. It just makes me smile looking at it every day.

My duvet/quilt - it's an M&S heavyweight feather and down duvet, it's just heavy, warm and snuggly and I struggle getting out of it. My feather pillows too & brushed cotton bedding!

My oversize hoody blanket - bought for Christmas by my good friend. I swear it's the best thing ever!

Ninja cooking appliances - everything takes less time to cook & have made some beautiful meals in less time, leaving more time for me 😊
