Has anyone discovered anything this year that they could no longer be without?

[Straycatblue]

To wonder how Ive gone this long without having an electric blanket.

Got it for xmas and its the best thing ever, although I never want to leave my bed again.
Minus 10 outside currently but Im so cosy.

I suffer from lots of aches and pains and this is easing them so much.

Has anyone discovered anything this year that they could now no longer be without?

Karcher window vac
Autograph nail polish set- I got 24 polishes for £18 in the m&s sale and they are fab quality
Electric toothbrush- I have invisalign clear braces and brush my teeth 5 times a day so needed a shortcut!
Philips Lumea for body hair management.

Also- Mountain Warehouse ski jacket for the school run. Toasty and waterproof.

Another cordless Dyson vote here - I actually like the fact that battery life is limited, makes me pick it up and have a quick swipe round regularly because I know that's all I can do. Very effective too, and so satisfying to see how much dust and hair I'm chucking away each time (I have three large hairy dogs).

Can we have a link to the gadget that lights up your toilet please?!?!

@KMoKMo I just got them from Amazon, they have quite a few on there and different pack sizes. You can buy 3, just to give it a go and see how the feel/well they wash etc.

ApplePay
Amazon Firestick
(technically had both since 2016 but only properly used this year)

Soap
Windscreen shield
Cordless Dyson (V7 as couldn't afford V8 but still bloody marvellous)
Carnage - DH and I have cut out about 90% of our meat and dairy consumption since watching it

Hate voice activated stuff so no interest in Alexa but this thread has piqued by interest in Hive and reminded me I need to get to grips with iCloud.

Now off to buy soap!

If you haven't read the soap threads in detail, please be advised to look out for the actual word SOAP on the packaging and not "cleansing bar" or similar wankery.

I opened a new Neutrogena today and feel squeaky clean.

Thank you Bulletfox

Can we have a link to the gadget that lights up your toilet please?!?!

Wonder if the light up toilet seat mentioned earlier is something like this??? (finding myself googling light up toilet seat on new years day )

Oh my good god I have just set Alexa up and I already love her more than the kids

I was just telling my boyfriend about the light-up toilet bowl and he had pressed Confirm on his Amazon Prime order before I even finished showing him the YouTube video

My digital pressure cooker, 12 in 1 Pressure King Pro.
Cooks a whole fresh chicken in 30 mins, (about 40 mins if you brown the chicken first).
Got meatballs in it atm, 20 mins. Won’t be without it now.

Soap and Mitchum deodorant! Thank You MN!!

Google home.

I can ask her all kinds of questions. She operates the lights, tv and is my radio.

We have one in every room.

Misty

I genuinely didn't know anyone was asking about it until I had the PM

Want cordless Dyson & Amazon Prime but now in no spend January! Great thread!

Soolantra - cured my dreadful rosacea
NoS diet - over a year I have gradually managed to form a normal healthy relationship with food.
Agree with Amazon Prime and also Tesco delivery saver, I spend hardly any time trudging around the shops these days.

Oh and just bought a cordless Dyson, I have a feeling its going to be a game changer!

Crystal Mineral Salt Deodorant. Transformed my life. I can now wear anything and have complete confidence all day through. No more sweaty BO smell on my tops, I don’t stress about it any more. I can relax. How did I live to the age of 36 and not know this product existed?

Another thing is laser hair removal. Worth every penny. Why did I not do it years ago???

The Ordinary skin care. Cordless Dyson. Electric Shiatsu massager.

oh and my braces! Finally don't hate my teeth after decades of smiling with my mouth closed.

. Is that bad?

Yoga - I stupidly thought it was namby pamby nonsense and not for me. has changed my life more than anything else this year, and stopped my running injuries.

Dyson fan - the best thing I bought on day one of our heatwave this year.

Also longing to know what the book was, but haven't RTFT yet so sorry if it's come out by now...

Great thread OP
