If you were going to treat yourself to something

[PerpetuallyUnderwhelmed]

'Just because' and you had £250 ish to spend, what would you buy? Inspiration please!! I need some materialistic cheer!

A use-it-for years leather tote bag.

Prepare for summer. New mid price machine washable dress, possibly from Oliver Bonus or John Lewis, new brightly coloured bra and 2 pairs of matching knix and if there is any change left, put it towards a new swimming cosie and beach towel.

Hmmmm! That’s it. I’m going to start looking this weekend. I’ve decided l need treats!

Waterproof Uggs
Clinique Sparkle Skin body scrub
Clarins Instant Smooth primer
Leather hobo bag

@Handsnotwands any ideas on where the perfect gold hoops may be found?!

Nice undies are another great option

I would save it until we are released from this hell and the shops are open .
I’d have a wonderful day out buying some beautiful clothes to float around in whilst visiting friends and sitting in restaurants and bars .

OP, have you blown your budget yet?

No, sadly @PerpetuallyUnderwhelmed I don’t. I know what I want, I just can’t find them (I also don’t have £250 to spend on them)

Toast Kantha dressing gown.

My list of maybes:

• Suzanne Kaufman bath oil
• Dinny Hall gold earrings
• maybe some more lululemon leggings
• maybe some white company loungewear

Haven’t decided to blow it all on one thing or get multiple smaller packages....

a riki mirror

Big birthday next week so ive treated myself to
Coach sutton hobo bag
Radley pumps
Soul cal pumps
Dyson hairdryer although that 50 more than your budget
Viktor and Rolf bonbon perfume
Delicious sanctuary shower foam in rose

A short strap crossbody bag - something utilitarian and cool
AA bath oil deep
Trinny London - I'm eyeing up Empress eyeshadow and BFF eye and Swainy lip colour - never used them before but would like to see if as good as the reviews look

Designer shoes from outlet store

Cashmere...

Cashmere jumper
Cashmere snood
Cashmere cardi
Cashmere wrist warmers
Cashmere gloves

I’m cold.... I may need more than £250 for that lot tho 🤣

A state of the art coffee grinder.
Or an overlocker.
But if you round it up to £900, the Harris Tweed coat in the Margaret Howell sale.

Oooh there's some lovely treats on here! I got the fur-lined Doc Martens a PP suggested for Christmas and they are as amazing as I'd hoped! Coveted them for ages and completely love them!

Neom candles and some lovely bath goodies would make my list, along with a fab bathrobe/dressing gown.

Or some brilliant sunglasses - I had a very fancy pair (Armani I think) years ago and lost them, but summer is so much better with brilliant sunnies!

Floisme , a few years ago my husband queued up outside Lidl’s to get me a Singer overlocker as I had wanted one for years and years.
It is such a pain to thread that I actually cry if one thread snaps and I have to rethread 4 spools. I haven’t used it as much as I thought I would because of the threading up issue!
I would buy the tweed coat instead

A couple of new outfits and a good foudation

Ah thanks Knitting that does sound like hard work! The coat's now sold out (at £905 in the sales ) so guess it'll have to be a swanky coffee grinder.
