What are some Items that have made your life better?

[Chisssweeze]

Am turning to MN for inspiration

It’s my 30th this year and the big trip DH and I had planned is off the cards due to DD (honestly the thought of taking this raccoon child on a plane fills me with nothing but anxiety) so I’ve now been asked what I want as my gift(s) instead of the trip.

These need to be good enough to make me not miss spending time on a beach in the Bahamas.

Im going down the route of items that are costly so I’ve never justified getting them for myself. Or just a bit frivolous but why not.

Only things I can think of atm is a Stanley straw cup (don’t even @ me I know it’s basic but I want a pretty one) and a ninja CREAMi as I love ice cream and always wanted an ice cream maker (and now we have the perfect size gap on the kitchen counter since DDs steriliser is no longer in use)

So wise women of MN. What items have made your life better, any products you wish you had got earlier in your life that has made such an impact on your day to day life or mood?

Massive bed with perfect pillows and duvet.

What on earth is a dog blaster?!

A DeLonghi bean to cup coffee machine

A rice cooker (actually quite a basic, inexpensive model, but if you eat a lot ofcruse, as we do, it's a gamechanger)

My much-loved Longines Grand Master watch, which is probably the most expensive piece of jewellery I will ever own, but I wear it every day and it makes me feel good

However, one of my favourite things is a set of silicon spatulas I bought over lockdown. I cannot fathom how I lived without them.

'If you eat a lot of rice', obviously.

Heated blanket. Best thing ever. Big and cosy with temperature dial. Keeps me warm and toasty.
