Sorry. Not meant to be goady. I know this is a first world problem.

I have no ideas.

Something from Jo Malone.

I’d buy Some tropic skincare. Absolutely love the products they’re all natural but work amazingly and smell incredible. Ps I’m not working for them I just love it.

Bargebill19 · 06/04/2020 19:24

Some nice jawbone conducting blue tooth headphones.

Notpanickingjustyet · 06/04/2020 19:25

Headphones, Bluetooth speaker, something gadgety.

This is fun, it's like online shopping but not for me. Hope you enjoy whatever you choose .

I had a voucher and bought a sun lounger. I expect it will get used a lot this year.

Do you like jewellery? How about something from a small business that will suffer in the lockdown?

PipGirl404 · 07/04/2020 12:13

May as well pamper myself while I'm stuck inside!

@quarantinevibes MN is an MLM free zone for very good reasons. Tropic is part of an industry that does massive damage to people (mainly women) so there’s a policy of not promoting them here. If people keep buying they’re not supporting women, they’re just perpetuating a massive deception that needs legislating into the ground.

Surely the current climate shows us it's important to have money put aside for a rainy day.

Surely the current climate shows us it’s important to enjoy the pleasures of life when you can.

quarantinevibes · 07/04/2020 12:30

@YouOkHun Wow I had no idea. It all seemed very ethical/ organic etc to me just from looking at the website. I’m going to have a good look in to what you’ve just said! I’m quite shocked but appreciate you letting me know. Shame! I won’t be ordering from them again then.

notagaincharlie · 07/04/2020 12:33

A linen duvet cover with matching pillowcases

YouokHun · 07/04/2020 12:39

@quarantvibes sorry, I hate being negative and spoiling something for you! Have a look at mlmtruth.org to get a sense of how these companies run. Tropic isn’t the worst but they all spin the opportunity to work from home and flexibly and make money, in a very dishonest way. Lots of people get caught out by this and it’s an industry rife with bullying. Over 99.7% of people who sign up to MLM lose money according to Federal Trade Commission research - that is shocking!

Anyway, don’t want to hijack this thread ... goes off to research a chocolate velvetiser; no idea what it is but instinct tells me it’s right up my street!

NeedToKnow101 · 07/04/2020 12:42

A lovely piece of jewellery from an independent maker like this www.louisewade.com/collections/necklaces/products/stardust-flash-necklace

Ladyglitterfairydust · 07/04/2020 12:43

I would buy some lovely new skin care products. I’ve been watching a lot of Caroline Hirons recently and I’ve got a bit of a list going.

dottiedodah · 07/04/2020 12:57

Agree some really nice Sandals for Summer! If any cash left over ,beads/ a pretty top ,or heaps of Choccy .(Essential item, esp Cad Fruit and Nut which as everyone knows counts as one of your 5 a day!LOL
