A small birthday cake even if it‘s not your birthday?

Nice idea but I have eating disorders, so nothing food or drink related.

A gorgeous bunch of seasonal flowers from the local florist.
A big bar of chocolate.
A really nice bottle of red/white/fizzy wine.
A cosy soft woolly scarf.

Cinema /theatre ticket (s). I love going by myself sometimes but aware that's not for everyone

What’s the last thing that made you happy, laugh, or feel comforted?

KrazyboutKillian · 03/10/2025 20:37

Posh shower oil
I love loccitane almond , and getting a waft of it cheers me up

or get a copy of a fave album from your past , play it loud and have a dance

Just seen your last post. Ignore 2 of my suggestions...
How about a seasonal flower arrangement /door hanging arrangement class by a local florist?

A new lipstick.
A novel by a favourite author.
A pair of inexpensive earrings.

Oh yes, I love flowers so that would be lovely
Wooly scarf would be comforting too as the weather is getting more autumnal

Buy a cozy blanket, curl up, and watch your favourite film.

DressingGownTuesday · 03/10/2025 20:41

A book or craft/art material? Book a massage or facial?

A pair of gerbils 🐾

Smellies are no good for me due to skin issues.
Album from the past is a great idea. Music always lifts the soul

New PJs
nice bubble bath
new toy for the pets (assuming they’re the sort that play with things)
a haircut
