You have up to £1000 to make your day to day life better. What do you buy?

I'm in the very fortunate position of being able to invest a bit in some useful things.

I'm wondering about an air fryer. Would that be a good choice, would you say?

What else might be good?

So far I've got:
A really good new mixing bowl!!!!!
Possibly an air fryer
Possibly a new waterproof coat

I’ve pretty much made my mind up on it. Just waiting to see if the Ninja dual one has a good offer before Christmas!

I’d go for a robot vacuum too!

oh I buy those knives in bulk because they afre so useful and perform well.

What a lovely thread! I too an an Emma Bridgewater fan and haunt her seconds section and sale. My choice though for the 1000 (actually it costs less but needs top be installed) is my personal best ever dull purchase which is a whole house water softener. Soft towels and clothing, no itchey scalp or skin (apart from the menopausal lizard legs) and no constant limescale removal from sinks, loos and so on. Yes it needs ongoing purchases of salt but apart from that its trouble free luxury.

I would think waterproof boots and coat - though most waterproof ones are 'boil in the bag!' Proper gloves (i.e not from Primark!!). Another phone would be good as only got a basic one now (what is facebook and what;s app????!!!!). Sadly lost my last one with its 100's of audiobooks on it.

I think this sounds lovely actually. I've changed my mind! I'd do this.

Ive seen this recommended before what makes this so great and has it replaced other appliances for you?

I think that’s the second time gloves have been mentioned and I do need some new ones. Any recs? I have very small hands.

@Fofftwenty21 I don't really have any appliances so this does everything works as a blender, can do soup risotto, batters, sauces..even done basic cakes (banana bread, carrot cake, scones) and can make dough in it. I use it all the time.

I'd like to recommend my new Arc'teryx jacket for the park as I spend 90 minutes with the dog every day
It's super warm and really thin. Looks better on than in the photo. I also got a discount code so mine was £320
