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....

@YSianiFlewogand @imnottoofussed I got these. They are quite synthetic and I don’t use them as an eye cover. I imagine the snooze band is better - but it is comfortable and the sound is good. I do daily hypnotherapy sessions but often fall asleep with it on

I can't be without mine now!

Mounjaro
ninja air fryer
our adopted cat
our hamster
gym membership

Gig tickets for Pet Shop Boys and Radiohead.
Trip CBD infused drinks have allowed me to have a virtually alcohol free year. Delicious and they feel like a treat!
Our new, to us, car. It's much more comfortable than our old one.
Long weekend away every other month (Europe and UK)- will continue to do this, makes such a difference having a little 3/4 day break regularly.
My gym membership to a cheap and cheerful local gym. I've been much better at consistent exercise since I rejoined the gym earlier this year and it works out at about £3 per visit.

It's navy blue, which I wasn't sure about at first but I love it now.

Lumea ipl

now only have to think about my legs and underarms every 4 weeks and bikini line every 3 weeks

no visible hair in between - saved so much time and money on waxing and shaving

Does it hurt to use? Shaving is the bane of my life!

Horse. 🙂

My Dd got one of these a few years ago as she suffered with thick I grown hairs. She said it was worth every penny. No pain.

I got one of these about 4 years ago. It still ranks as one of the greatest things I have ever bought!

New gates for the side return. Old ones were cheap quality wood which swelled and the code locks stopped engaging so we ended up wedging the gates shut with garden furniture, bolts etc. the bins that lived in the side alley got left on the drive which looked shit. And (i only learned to cycle this year) I would put off going out on my bike as it meant hauling it through the house as it was such a faff to mess with the gates.

Two burglaries in our road spurred me on to replace the gates with lockable metal ones. Total game changer! Been out loads on my bike and the bins are neatly put away again.

@NCTDNwe have the eufy c20. The DC leave for school at 8 and it is programmed to come on for 8:05. There may still be a trail of crumbs on the work top and a bottle of milk or something left out but it makes tidying up so much faster and, once the kitchen is set, that makes me want to do the rest of the house too. Then if it gets a bit messy later in the day, you just press a button and off it goes again. No thinking “but I only did it a few hours ago”, no muttering under your breath about messy DC or arguments with the messy DC about getting them to do it. The only slight criticism is that it is automatic so, if there is a more stubborn stain, it doesn’t go back & forth giving it a good scrub.

tummy tuck

a present for my sons cat - a pole that’s fixed to the ceiling ( like a lap dancing pole ) has perches on it so the cat can leap from one to another she absolutely loves it

last year my dreamland alaskan heated throw amazing in this cold weather

Blundstone boots orrrr new glasses, I went pretty bold and they’ve really helped to jazz up my look

also masseter Botox which has changed my life!

GLP-1

Our rescue puppy - he's brought us so much joy and he forces me out for fresh air and exercise every day which on days where my anxiety is bad really helps.

My hourglass palette - pricy but makes me look more alive in a few swipes and it's so pretty it makes me happy.

Towelling hair turbans for my 3 little girls with very long hair! Transformed shower time and hair wash days in particular!!!

The extension to the existing catio! 😺🐾

I chose the same prize from the PostCode lottery - brilliant

I’m now on the eufy website…

Do the robomops leave the floor very wet though ?

There are two types of robot mops. The cheaper ones basically just drag a wet cloth around. Fine for a freshen up but not really a proper mop. If you want a proper mop then the more expensive models have rotating mop heads that give it a much better clean.

Flow therapy for depression. Huge game changer for me

I might treat myself to a new vacuum this year. Do you have pets and/or long hair? I’m so tired of cutting hair off the brush with scissors and it looks like this one does that itself??

Another automatic car, rechargeable milk frother, Tesco fleece that I’ve worn about 300 times.

A mountain warehouse thick puffa style coat, mid length just below bum with hood, waterproof, cosy - only £30 off amazon and I’ve barely worn anything else last few months x
