What was your last 'treat myself purchase?

Your last purchase that wasn't something you needed, but something you WANTED.

I feel guilty if I buy something I don't need, even if it's only a few quid. I think my last 'luxury' purchase was a £20 handbag!

This purse. My zip on my trusty old purse died, and I've been searching for a replacement for ages. Its so bright and cheerful and i loves it.

This is fab!

I’ve bought a fun ganni t-shirt and a dress from m&s this week (don’t shop there ordinarily but it looks lovely).

A holiday to benidorm and a case of wine . Both purchased last week

BastetsWhiskers · 02/07/2023 08:28

Yesterday, bought a facial spray, body spray and a serum

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 02/07/2023 08:32

Beauty box from Hearst.

LadyWithLapdog · 02/07/2023 08:43

A pair of Birkenstocks and a dress. I meant to send the dress back but it was reduced and I think I’ve missed the 14 days return.

I bought a pair of Rosie and Jim ragdolls. They are perfect and gorgeous and make me smile every time I see them. I'll always be glad I bought them.

Ive just purchased a wig.
my bald spots are quite noticeable, I can spend quite a bit of effort to make it not look so bad, but I splurged on a wig that'll be fitted next weekend.
it'll be fabulous

A Dyson fan. Hopefully it will be a good investment!

WimbyAce · 02/07/2023 09:22

It may well be the Osprey bag in the other thread, I keep looking at it.........

ChocolateHelps · 02/07/2023 09:28

I bought an osprey bag from the other thread 😂.

KoalaKube · 02/07/2023 09:44

That other thread the ‘In bag’ I’ve got an Osprey bag in my basket, will buy it when I can be bothered to get my card.

Oh that's cool!

Two men's T-shirts from Seasalt. The prints are so much nicer than the women's. Lovely fabric too.

JimnJoyce · 02/07/2023 10:24

Took a chance on a front fastening bra. Shoulder issues and arthritis make doing up bra's painful and difficult. Also extremely large breasted so not at all certain a front bra will work.

User9753224 · 02/07/2023 11:01

a Dior mascara and a shower gel that was mentioned on the other treat thread - The Ritual of Sakura!

ChrisPPancake · 02/07/2023 11:48

This bag. I'm an 8 year old at heart Grin

First time I took it out I got loads of compliments and requests to know where it was from from equally childish people which made me happy!

That bag is amazing!

LadyWithLapdog · 02/07/2023 12:30

That’s a cute bag.

Twinklewonderkins · 02/07/2023 12:32

I just bought Dr. Martens sandals , they have been in and out of my basket for over a year.

Hoppinggreen · 02/07/2023 12:38

A little enamel daisy necklace from Kate Spade.
Not sure how much it cost because I bought a couple of things for DD at the same time

TattiePants · 02/07/2023 12:49

I’ve been after a particular handbag from Arket for ages and it’s always out of stock in the colour I want. It briefly came back into stock so I had to buy it. I’ve also bought an OK beauty box which looks lovely and way too many 99p kindle books.

I’ve now got the theme song going around in my head.
