So I currently have my eye on a lovely lamp from dunelm.Saw it in Pinterest and fell in love with it. Would match perfectly with my living room.
Do I technically need it? Of course not but I want it Grin

New trainers, new Billy bookcases with doors to replace a wall of kallax & transform the playroom to something more grown up.

And some 18ct gold jewellry. And a better ukelele. I thought when I first read this, there's actually nothing I want & thought of these in 2
Mins! 😆

A new car. Looking at a used plug in hybrid with loads of space. Our current car has 129k on the clock and could collapse at any point.

Garden planters with 5' trellis

KohlaParasaurus · 19/05/2023 20:27

A new garden fence.
A place to stay in Edinburgh for a few days in the autumn.

A holiday. But Christ, everything is so expensive.

MissConductUS · 19/05/2023 20:29

New garden hoses. Our old ones are just rubbish and the connectors are bent so they leak water badly.

@tweener definitely worth it! I eyed them up for nearly a year before I got one. Loved it so much I ordered another. I got it on offer so they were about £35 each I think. You won't regret it.
Currently wearing my avocado one as I type this.

An Alexander McQueen handbag £700
Some new planters and plants for the garden

Trying not to buy too much because everything is freaking expensive but I need:
New carpets
Garden awning & fencing
Garden toys

I also want new sandals & trainers for the summer.

After that I'm going to try and sit on my hands until Christmas

TokyoSushi · 19/05/2023 20:34

New gym clothes, but I have been disappointed by leggings that don't stay up so many times!

DyslexicPoster · 19/05/2023 20:38

Sparkly lanyard and bag strap from Oliver Bonas. Sigh.....

I did the same last week! Had the best sleep of my life lastnight on two goose feather pillows that cost a lot more than I'm used to paying but so worth it!

Am currently eyeing up an Arket dress and an ice maker.

Daisychainsandglitter · 19/05/2023 20:50

Gucci gorgeous jasmine perfume
Chilly's water bottle.

snoozingbaby1476 · 19/05/2023 21:04

Issey miayke perfume although it's my birthday in a few weeks so I might ask for it for that

This is the second recommendation on this thread since I posted, sounds like I should just bite the bullet!

@Goodfuckingriddance ooh show us the lamp?! I ‘need’ a lamp

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 19/05/2023 21:08

A house

AsanteSana · 19/05/2023 21:14

A little convertible sports car which has been winking at me from the forecourt of a local used car dealer every day when I have driven past over the last two weeks...
Do I need it? No
Do I want it? Yes!

Will I buy it? Probably😁

Missingthegore · 19/05/2023 21:19

New handbag
No idea what I want.... probably need to stop thinking I can find one that I can sling a laptop and A4 notebook into for work and still be OK for non work use.
I have only just stepped into a senior role and have to haul this stuff in and out. I used to take my lunch in a bag and my phone to shove in a locker.
