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!

It’s going to sound ridiculous but I love coffee so I got myself a bean to cup machine fully digital makes dozens of coffee combinations . Costed £700 😏 but I love it

I treated DH to one of those for his birthday just before Covid. He loves it.

Some mint green air force ones - I absolutely did not need them but I saw and advert and had bought them in about 30 seconds flat, they are beautiful 😂 no regrets!

New balance trainers that were £88 and a bunch of new books.

Diamond stud earrings at an auction. £2300. Guide price was £3000 to £3200.
They are beautiful.

Apart from the holiday I'm currently on, I got a lovely black leather bag for work (about 80e) from thelittlegreenbag.com.

Stickmansmum · 07/06/2023 23:57

Pair of Veja’s. Just today.

£50 on Bad Girl perfume on the flight home from holiday last night - really didn’t need it but just felt like a treat - nice bottle and smells great.

I bought myself a long rose pink wig for the festival.

Microbladed eyebrows. Next treat is semi-permanent eyeliner Grin

This is addictive.

I bought this dress on Sunday for £200. Did I need it? No. Did I have a reason for buying it? Also no. Didn’t stop me. 😂

I do have places to wear it though so clearly IANBU.

Love the Fat Face tote @LubaLuca and the dress @Cocteautriplet.

I have just bought a PomPom London City Plus bag in a slightly lighter shade of lilac Wink With careful editing all my crap fits in so it's a win!

I bought a beautiful ring in the Liberty sale. Lapis lazuli. I was very pleased as 2 years ago I saw an antique one, dithered about whether I deserved it, then it was sold. I've been looking for a other nice one ever since. Got my email receipt, the money was taken from account. 17 hours later I got an email from Liberty cancelling the sale as item no longer in stock. Waaaah !!!

It's a bit of a sad one, but I bought some flowers for my gran's beautiful cut glass vase. She died two months ago, and always had flowers in it in her house. The vase was a wedding present to her years ago. I now have the vase and will make sure there are always flowers in it. Really got to me today buying them.

How lovely. I hope the flowers are looking beautiful.💐

Booked myself in for a pedicure for tomorrow £35 …self love is very necessary.

Had a long day at work today. Haven’t bought myself anything in ages. Went shops after work for bits for dinner. Ended up with bits plus £5 Nepeta plant because it was pretty/I adore the smell and a £12 bright pink Bardot blouse because I have a thing for off shoulder tops and it’s supposed to be hot this weekend. Plant is happily in a pot in my garden being froofy. Blouse is nicer fabric than expected.

This weekend will be the extravagant purchase. Foundation because I’m running out…

A mulberry Amberley handbag. Was a total impulse buy, but had been covering one for a long time. Was reduced and price was really good, so felt I could justify the treat to myself.

Floisme · 08/06/2023 07:16

I treat myself every day: chocolate and a coffee made with hipster shop beans. Most recent clothes treat was a vintage Jean Muir jacket that I found last weekend.
