what you cannot resist but dont need

not something you need but for instance you are drawn to when out shopping. my problem is;
dog beds. my dogs have at least 3 beds each and dont use any of them but out shopping I am drawn to the soft fluffy furry little beds I cannot resist them!
Mugs; I have enough to start a cafe but I get drawn to them like a magnet, there is always one pattern or picture mug that I just dont have but really need to!

Sunglasses, I had so many and then recently was diagnosed with prescription and needed another pair... ended up with four more.

Random items of second hand crockery.
Interesting cheeses, especially expensive ones from small-batch dairies.
Socks, and also yarn for knitting socks.

Dresses. Especially long floaty summer ones. I but far too many for holidays when realistically, once home they rarely see the light of day. In the real life of after holiday there are few days suitable for these dresses which coincide with days I'm lunching, floating around town, at a garden party (lol) Will just have to wear them for cooking, hoover, cleaning bathroom..😁 Such a glamorous life 🤔😁

Crystals! Everytime I pass a crystal shop I have to pick up a new piece 🤣 I've got so many it's becoming ridiculous now..

Summer dresses! I have far too many, more than I could ever actually reasonably wear and yet, I still want more.

Plants. Pots to put said plants in.

When I'm feeling flush, nice handbags.

Mugs. Not classy ones either - I like my mugs basic, with extremely banal floral or animal or nature themed designs in bright colours. I don't need any more mugs but I keep thinking about two that I forced myself not to buy in Morrisons (because I don't need any more mugs) but I know I'm going to crack and buy them.
