What is expensive but worth every penny?

[Teadrinker11]

Following on from the previous thread about expensive purchases that weren't worth it, what is expensive but actually is worth it? What do you own or have done that is very expensive but you don't regret it at all?

White company bed linen...

My house
My cleaner
Hello fresh

My Vitamix. Worth every penny.

I wish I could go through this entire list and write it all down!

Mine are:
Horses
Aromatherapy Associates room diffuser
An extra 2 hours of my cleaner to get her to sort laundry too
Good bras
Dubarry boots
Our new logburner

Question though - are MacBooks worth it? Am considering one when my current crappy laptop dies!

My car. It's 5 years old nearly 6. I love her. Makes me happy even though it's nearly as much as my mortgage on HCP. 3 years left on it now payment wise but I'll run it into the ground for years to come. It's a Jeep grand Cherokee.

high-quality bedding. I have down duvets and pillows. High thread count linens and a featherbed topper. I wish I had invested years ago. its one of my joys getting into my bed now. you spend so much time in bed make it the comfiest you can afford. you won't regret a penny spent.

My £300 a month tutor bill for my daughter’s A Levels.

My handbags and tickets to The Solheim Cup 2023

A good knife. Spending £30+ on a knife sounds ridiculous when you can get one from Poundland but a good knife lasts. Use it for cooking today, use it for survival when the shit hits the fan and there are no longer functioning shops.

That's not to say there's no place for cheap knives, it's good to have a few around that you don't care about losing or breaking, but a sturdy full tang blade is essential.

Totally agree. My dad trained as a chef almost 50 years ago and had a set of Sabatier knives which he gave to me when I moved out 20 years ago, I still use them now and they are as sharp as the day he gave them to me.

GHD hair straighteners. I wouldn't be without mine, they do the job really well and last years and years. Worth every penny.

Also my cordless Dyson. I love that thing.

Our heated clothes dryer. Boring but fab.

Lurpak

Decent quality food. That's about all I spend money on.

Miele hoover
Ghds
iPad
iPhone
Amazon prime 🤣

Revitalash and good quality glasses

A pair of independent midwives for the duration of my pregnancies (antenatal, births, and post natal period). Worth their weight in gold.

@WNorwoodJess

Our heated clothes dryer. Boring but fab.

I'd 100% agree with you. Mine is on 24/7

Proper, freshly roasted and ground coffee. Not high street coffee shop over roasted nasty dust, or dry crap in pods.

It's not cheap, but it's well worth the money.

Peloton bike and the app that goes with it - loads of classes and worth every penny.
Dyson hairdryer

Elemis pro collagen marine cream

Top quality B&Bs/Hotels/Houses/Cabins etc.

Hair colour
Great Skincare products, past a certain age.
Multi-focal contact lenses.

Lululemon exercise mat.
A holiday to the Maldives or some such place... after years of back packing and very budget holidays.
A decent waterproof winter coat.

And neff appliances. Bought a house which already had them installed... what a difference to the stuff I have always bought.

Massages at really swanky spas

First class flights on long haul.
