...or items?

Mine have been:

  1. A large transparent command hook that I put on the side of a chest of drawers to hang my hairdryer on (I tried lots of other sticky hooks before but that was the only one that actually worked)
  1. Buying all the same clothes hangers so DD's clothes look tidier
  1. A large kitchen sink tidier which has instantly made the kitchen side less messy

I am on a constant mission to improve our living spaces, so AIBU to ask what yours have been?

cheap foldaway table from Argos, initially to put laptop on for zooming close to modem - but higher than a coffee table, so tons better for eating when I don't want to sit at the dining table.

Microwave vegetable steamer, veg is perfect everytime.

I got a robot vacuum for Christmas- I didn’t want to bring anything in that wasn’t useful or fabulous. I got an ecovacs deebot and he’s called Dobby.
We have a Labrador and a spaniel and he keeps up with their hair quite easily.

Three things ultimately sold it to me: the overwhelmingly positive comments on this thread; the thousands of reviews on Amazon, which pretty much mirrored what was said here; and the price.

Because tbh if it had been really expensive there's no way I would have gone for it but £150 was cheaper than my Dyson.
