What items did you buy in 2023 that you will now never want to live without?

[Elephanttrunk]

Interested to know about everything be it luxury or mundane
I was late to the game but now use my air fryer daily. I also love my earbuds.

Oh, and a silk duvet. So comfortable and helps enormously with hot sweaty flushes

Oh yes , I have il makiage foundation as well. It doesn't feel like I'm wearing any

@Happilyobtuse did you get someone in to do your wardrobes? Slide door floor to ceiling wardrobes are on my bucket list

A Groove neck pillow. A shaped memory foam pillow that promised to get rid of neck pain. And while it doesn't stop me doing painful things to my neck, it really helps heal at night. Before I'd wake up in more pain whereas now I feel comfortable all night and much better when I wake up. Absolute game changer.

Presumably the robot vacuum cleaner is unable to do under the beds,sofas and coffee tables,I have 2 long hair dogs, so you have to do this daily. The dogs would like one, they're border collies, they would round it up!

Yes, we did. Neither my husband nor I have any skills in this department. I got 6 quotes in and then short listed among the two with the best price. Very happy with the finish, it is a local company and not a national one.

This is actually what they’re brilliant at. I expect it depends on how high off the ground your furniture is. Mine goes under my bed, chest of drawers and tables. My Collie stays on high alert in his bed and watches.

TomeTome, just a couple of inches, enough for the dog hair to magically float under.

can do too and bottom windows and a 9 metre lean to roof with ease! (And I have arthritis hence why I’m so pleased)

Of course - It's this one x

This thread has cost me £152.33 😂

Can anyone recommend a top quality cordless daylight therapy lamp? (AKA SAD lamp) I bought a Beurer branded one, it’s improved my sleep amazingly, but it’s corded and a bit of a pain.

@AutumnNamechange

tgank you gir your reply & the link.

Unfortunately its bovine so I can't use it ☹️

They have two vegan ones and a fish one. The former don't have bovine, I'd imagine the latter doesn't either but you can see all this and all the ingredients on their website.

A better artificial Christmas tree (not a Balsam Hill but still a decent one that is a mixture of realistic needles and the fake looking ones to bulk it out). Plus it's pre-lit. Now I realise you need a lot more lights than I was using before to make a decent tree.

Proper air conditioning in bedrooms. Cool in the summer, warm in the winter. Cheaper than running boiler by miles too!

@roamingcat Furinno Patio Folding Tables,... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B083FPPG4H?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Could you DM me what local to you means pls in case I could use same x

Meant that for @Happilyobtuse but can’t figure how to edit

@VanGoghsDog

thank you for that. I'll have a look when I get home.

Do you use them??

They do a vegan version too https://ancientandbrave.earth/collections/vegan-collagen x

Bolt cutters. Use them for so many things, from dismantling the shed to getting particularly vicious cable ties off the leg of my couch.

Definitely my air fryer. Upgraded my tower single to a Ninja dual!! Game changer.

Not massively convinced with the Apple Watch. Gave my Fitbit to my youngest and regretting it. Apple Watch needs charging too often and I end up forgetting. Fitbit lasted for days.

Agree with heated throw! Got one as a present last winter and it was fab. Haven’t needed it yet this winter but might do soon.

Molecule 01 perfume. People tell me constantly that I smell amazing but I can't smell it on me, so it doesn't give me a headache. That's a win.

A huge thermos cup with a straw from Stanley. I drink from it all day and it goes in the dishwasher, unlike a lot of those flask things.

A Tumblr dryer. Life changer.

Really nice wool socks. They're worth spending the money on instead of buying cheap multipacks from next or m&s like I always used to.

Vielda mop with the trigger spray
