Which little luxuries are worth spending a bit more on?

[Littlepiggietoes]

Hi all!

As the title says - what are the little luxuries that are worth spending a bit more on for you? Just little bits that make you feel more intentional, I like a thin silk scrunchie for my hair instead of a normal hair band. It just makes me feel a bit put together.

Any tips on places you’ve found for linen or duvets@Abhannmor?
We have a bed that size and find it difficult too. I’m in Ireland and I’m guessing from your username you might also be.

Fairy liquid, candles, skincare

I love Mitre linen for towels - they do an extra jumbo spa sheet that wraps round me twice and doesn't have the woven strips at the end that seem to shrink after a few washes. And Cologne and Cotton bedlinen with a pretty embroidered border on an otherwise white duvet. Makes me smile every time I get into bed.

Burford brown eggs

Hair colour and cuts. Fruit (Waitrose or M&S). Certain things like asparagus M&S is much better for than eg sainsburys. Shower gel, I actually like the posher Original source ones (ginger, guava). Good sunscreen for face.

Yes fairy liquid, the max power one lasts ages. Finish dishwasher tablets.

Jersey butter, organic milk and eggs, fresh baked bread

Home grown potatoes and tomatoes

French linen bed linen

Top quality hair conditioner and frizz control

John Lewis do pure cotton, 200 count I think, 4ft bedding.

I too buy the odd hardback which includes the books in the Strike series but the publication date for the latest book hasn’t been announced and as she was half way through writing it a month ago, I doubt it will be released this side of Christmas.

Fresh flowers, Stripe And Stare knickers, and bone china cups and saucers.

Decent coffee ☕ ❤️ I'd rather spend a bit extra and not have it taste like dirt 😊

Does anyone else:
a) agree with at least 85% of all previous posts and
b) wonder if this kind of lifestyle creep is how Elton John ended up with weekly flower bills in the £1000s?

Hair care
jeans
Sanitary products
butter

Eve Lom cleanser.

Me!

I didn’t really think I was particularly indulgent until I read this thread, I agree with almost everything other than coffee as I don’t drink it.

Yep. Me.

But remember that this is your one shot at life. If there are little luxuries that you can afford and which make every day a little bit better, you absolutely should do.

In the long-run, lots of luxury items work out to be pretty good value because you use less and/or replace less frequently.

Guineys do that size. Not much choice though alas. I'd like not to have to worry about 'pilling'. And would be willing to pay more for quality but can't seem to find anything.

Organic milk in glass bottles from the milkman. The milk def tastes better from glass bottles. It’s great to have regular deliveries from the milkman. I can order online until 9pm the night before if I need extra bread, eggs etc. it’s £1.50 per pint though.

Perfumed shower gel

Make up.Only use premium brands.Armani,Ysl,Victoria Beckham.

Good coffee at home 100%. Stopped buying the cheap stuff and it genuinely changes my whole morning. Also decent bedding — once you go proper cotton you can't go back 😂

Don't use shower gel but do use Marseille soap.

Expensive but lovely

Boring but when I used to go out walking decent waterproofs unfortunately I don’t go walking now as I am a carer.

Sausages
