What's been your best purchase of the year?

[CactusRabbit]

I have 2. First is my coffee machine. It grinds the beans, so I can have a freshly brewed coffee each morning. I love it!
Second one is a prize from postcode lottery. It's a rechargeable hot water bottle, and it's been a game changer! Especially useful for when I'm cold watching DS play rugby....

Another one from me - my belt hot water bottle from Dunelm. Absolutely amazing on days like today when it’s freezing at home and I’m moving from room to room so can’t just heat one room.

Me too. An air fryer. It has changed my life

This year, 2026 tickets for Inside No 9/Stage fright

Magnetic chess.

You're in for a treat! Loved it!

It's great isn't it! saw it on the 5th featuring Bob Brydon! Unwittingly I bought seats D9 &10, the 'haunted seat' being D9 & nearly died when I twigged what was happening. Mortified I might get dragged on stage and make a complete tit of myself.

I got some Niwaki garden snips! I also love scissors and cutlery. Love my crane embroidery scissors

Really? Just got one and made series of failures so far😕 what and how do you use it for pls?

Swivel dining chairs from Jysk! They are amazing!

A gold party dress from Vinted.
perfect in every way.

Superb.

Have you seen Ernest Wright scissors? They look superb, but are quite expensive, and there always seemed to be a waiting list for anything that I wanted. I just couldn't justify a purchase, although I looked more than once at the Stork embroidery scissors.

We used to use that store a lot when we lived in Copenhagen - got some fantastic things from there

It is amazing! Other air fryer recipes created by that author are also great.

Wow. Thanks for this. M&S stopped stocking my favourite karaage last year and this looks like it might make a good replacement

its nice of him to buy you the lamp though - my husband rarely buys me anything at all

Look into private insurance. You may be pleasantly surprised.

wrong thread?

This one wins, brilliant idea and I wish I'd had something like that for my mum

Ok so I can now officially say the best purchase I have ever made was last Saturdays, arm lift, breast uplift, 500c implants, and a rather large tummy tuck. I look fantabulous and can’t wait to get home to my kids tonight. 2nd best purchase was all that bloody mounjaro.

Gosh you're very brave. Well done.

Thought of another one. Camping chairs for sports tournaments. Amazing
