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.

My dehumidifier. We have a small
flat and in the winter the condensation from drying clothes inside is horrendous. Dehumidifier on, everything dry in a day!

Mummypete · 10/12/2023 08:24

A heated throw. I can’t believe I spent last winter freezing while working from home instead of just investing in one. It’s so so worth the money.

A cordless window vac and a heated blanket. My DH scoffed when I bought the vac but now gets annoyed if I vac the windows in the morning before he gets chance to.

A robot vacuum cleaner. Had I known they come with a remote control which means you can just sit on a chair and using the remote control can Direct it back and forth around the room and to exactly where you want it to clean I would have bought one year ago

A new roof. I am warmer and no longer have squirrels prancing up and down above my head.

A holiday I am dreaming about going on.

ManAboutTown · 10/12/2023 08:29

Belkin phone charger - you know one of those ones wherre you just rest the phone on it.

Have an Android phone for personal use and an iPhone for work. Does both

Catsfrontbum · 10/12/2023 08:30

Air pods. Very much worth the spend. Couldn’t be without them now.

Got to be eyebrow gel. Leaves my brows looking groomed.

Uggs- wear them to jump in/out of the car which I do frequently running kids all over the place.

Replaced my trusty old basic Garmin with a top-of-the-range Forerunner

Love it!

NormalForNuneaton · 10/12/2023 08:32

Dehumidifier
Air fryer (although that's more DP's domain)

A mini dishwasher which doesn't need to be plumbed in (tiny kitchen here!)

Same, best thing ever

Nineteendays · 10/12/2023 08:37

Ninja 9 in 1. Incredible!

im intrigued by the mop that has a dry side and the charger that charges all phones - I’m going to investigate these now

lurchermummy · 10/12/2023 08:39

@NannyGythaOgg where do you buy the nail wraps from? Do they need a UV lamp? Thanks

VORE · 10/12/2023 08:44

Bread maker - now we make completely organic bread at home which isn’t full of all the 💩 they put into shop bought bread and it’s a fraction of the price! Once you start eating freshly baked home made bread you’ll think the stuff from the shop tastes like plastic!

Butter dish - spreadable butter is the biggest con! You’re literally paying a premium for the luxury of keeping your butter in the fridge and the food companies mixing it with 💩 processed oils to make it spreadable. Blocks of butter you keep in a butter dish are much cheaper and it tastes soooo much better! They are also much healthier as they are not full of processed 💩!

This has given me some great ideas for my Christmas list (for me!).
Am interested in the eyelash serum brand please. And the mop.
My best purchase is our cat. He makes our house a home and brings so much joy to the whole family. Worth every penny of his fancy food and vet bills 🥰

Flowers90 · 10/12/2023 08:48

Dehumidifier as a household purchase. Helping deal with the condensation and I can get laundry dry much quicker and without using the dryer in the bad weather.

For myself a kindle- I've always loved reading but was reading less and less due to my eyes. Never realised I'd use it as much as i do, and can use in the middle of the night when up without waking dh.

TinPanSally · 10/12/2023 08:50

Definitely the air fryer. Used pretty much every day now that the children have jobs and clubs and we often have to cook separate meals.

squashyhat · 10/12/2023 08:52

A little Lavazza pod* coffee machine. I use it every day and it fills the kitchen with a lovely fresh coffee smell and makes delicious espressos.

*hopefully compostable - time will tell

Fairylightgirl · 10/12/2023 08:54

@Needcoffeeimmediatley which one did you go for? I've spent 6 months choosing 😳

Mine is a Norwegian cheese slice 😂

Fairylightgirl · 10/12/2023 08:55

@AllWeWantToDo You too! which one did you get?

Jimmychoo69 · 10/12/2023 08:58

White Company mattress topper, totally transformed our bed.

Jewelanemone · 10/12/2023 06:31

Eyelash serum. Short straight eyelashes are a thing of the past! I love my new fluttery lashes 🙂

@Jewelanemone which one did you get. My eyelashes are so short. ☹️

Stumpedasatree · 10/12/2023 09:02

A peloton bike and some dumbbells for home. Had an airfryer for 2y and love it. A heated throw for wfh, godsend!

Goneforaride · 10/12/2023 09:06

A horse

TheDogthatDug · 10/12/2023 09:07

Ninja multicooker

Selenitetower · 10/12/2023 09:09

I got a Thermomix! Absolutely amazing. Now that I have it I could not live without it :)
