What purchases make your life a bit better recently?

[Fruitbatdancer]

i don’t want some paid influencer to tell me, i want real people to!

• cyberjammies- the best most comfy pj’s I’ve ever had I now have 3 pairs
• snag tights. I’ll never wear other tights again
• Laura gelled face powder makeup- specifically bronzer to go which has a poof and a mirror built in

yours?

We put aircon into the three bedrooms about 2 years ago. Expensive but genuinely the best money I have ever spent. It sounds dramatic but it has literally changed my life. I cannot cope in the heat x

Erborian cleaning gel

Heated drying rack from JL. I don't hate doing laundry as much as I used to. I have had it 2 yrs and it still features highly on my I'm glad I have list.

You wash your patio with hot water?

Does a man count? Not like that....

I live alone and can do most DIY myself as long as it's not too fiddly or specialised. But I've recently found myself a handyman who will come and do those jobs that I just cannot manage, or that cannot be done single handed.It means my bathroom no longer has a rotating tap, my roof no longer leaks in the extension and I'm going to get him to put up some complicated shelves for me when I've finished painting the living room!

Money well spent.

Some bone conducting headphones, listen to pod casts now on my dog walks but can still hear whats going on around me. I have increased my step count and walks are a bit more interesting.

I crochet so have bought more expensive good quality yarn and it’s beautiful !

Charlotte Tilbury glow foundation stick.Its good on its own but I like to put it on after my normal foundation on certain areas of my face like a subtle highlighter.Blends instantly.Lasts ages too.

Silk pillowcase
long bamboo nightie- so soft and lovely.

@hitothewellhole

dewy setting spray for my make up - looking like I have glass skin all year around

Can I ask which one you use please?

Skechers slip-ins. They're soooo comfortable.

I felt the same about the Snag shorts. I have some from Boody which are lovely. Mostly bamboo and not sweaty at all

Rice cooker & ninja sizzle grill, changed my life. 😂

Some new fancy garden solar lights
a diamond tennis bracelet
io electric toothbrush
flotation tank sessions
quordle wooden jigsaws

A very small, slim soft leather pencil case in a beautiful blue-green which gives me pleasure every time I pick it up.

A large, gorgeous, soft handwoven Moroccan rug for my garden office.

New Carolina Dress Room leggings. I got Hairspray, Let it Go, Cinderella and Beyond Midnight. They make me happy just looking at them!

Oodie sleep tee! I was sceptical as I either/both get too hot in any nightwear or I can’t bear the seams and either way end up pulling it off and sleeping starkers! OMG it’s wonderful. I got 2 and am thinking about getting more.

I'm sorry if it's been answered before in the thread, but what is the device please?
Sounds incredibly useful.

Some of the shorts arrived today - I wasn’t expecting them to feel like tights material and am wondering how they don’t make you extra hot?

Baggu lunch bag
Small metal cutlery to take with above
Davines shine spray for hair

My Nespresso Vertuo coffee machine and milk frother

for Christmas so not recent but my Henry quick Hoover. The best cordless vacuum I’ve ever had and only get the big Hoover out for a once a week deep clean now.

voduz hot brush, I can actually make my hair sit nice now and thus have left it longer when usually I cut it to collar bone length.

eternal muse Heatless curlers, the most comfortable ones for sleeping in and like that there are different ones for different curl styles

A new roof for my summerhouse so I can use it as a proper sensory room.

Can you please share the name of your setting spray?

My best things in the last year:

• A handmade, reclaimed wood chopping board. It's a good size, thick, heavy and a lovely shape, and I'm really enjoying using it.
• Some decent quality t-shirts (for me, for once, rather than for the kids)
• A vase from Teign Valley glass studio. Beautiful shape, colours, perfect size for the space I had in mind.
• A leather desk pad - looks attractive, yes, and more importantly feels really great. It's something I spend a lot of time in contact with, and it's a massive upgrade to my home working set-up.

They do! They made me feel horribly hot. I can't understand the love for them

I second the person who said coverless duvets for the kids. I have a child with a medical condition and it means that night time dryness is very hit and miss and mostly miss. I can bung the duvet in a quick setting in my washer dryer and it’s done in an hour which is a huge difference!
