Small (inexpensive) things that make you feel happy.

[JudgementalCat]

Slightly inspired by the keyring thread: what small things do you have that make you feel more put-together? I have two:
• a small pencil case, so when I go to meetings I'm not scrabbling about in the bottom of my bag, and
• I got rid of my tatty old shopping bags and bought some in nice colours with ridiculous 70s patterns on them. They always make me feel happy when I use them.

I do exactly the same thing 😂

I love Fidji, have been wearing it since the 80s and I'm wearing it today. I probably wear this perfume more than any of my other ones.

Fidgi yes! I discovered it in perfume shop abroad and it made my holiday!!!

My Merlin bird app, which identifies bird calls. I prop my phone on the window ledge in my bedroom with my window slightly ajar while I have my morning shower.
Yesterday it had recognised 28 different species of bird in 10 minutes- all within hearing distance of my house! It has also helped me learn to recognise some bird calls.
Makes me feel there is hope for the world!

Yay for the Premier Inn pillows! I've tried hundreds of pillows (why is there no facility for a free night's sleep to try a pillow?) from feather to memory foam - they all start out feeling great but I've hoiked them off the bed by 1am. Premier Inn are the only ones that I've found that are comfortable - and you can't beat a good night's sleep for feeling happy!

Have you tried Dunlopillo (rebranded as Relyon)? They are the best pillows in the whole world!

I would love to try! But I'm slightly afraid to shell out and then find I don't get on with it - I think we should be allowed to send pillows back (I have a cupboard full of 'tried once and discarded' pillows, plus the spare beds are heaped with them. Most end up as dogs' beds).

Got up early today, washed my hair and took more than 5 mins to put my make up on and dry my hair. I’ve even put a shirt on today (I wfh so very easy to love in sweats and T-shirts). Also put my favourite perfume on.

I wonder if there are any in a showroom you can try?!

I have to say they don’t fit in with the title of this thread though, as they are not inexpensive or small!!

No showrooms around here!
But I think Premier Inn pillows are inexpensive - the last ones I bought were £36 for two, which isn't too bad! I'll give you the size thing though.

Ah yes! I’m with you on that!!

🤣🙈

Having an at home pamper day, love a relaxing weekend with face and hair masks and some lovely smelling body lotion followed by fresh pjs.

A good bargain!
Just hammered the Primark sale section and got some fantastic bits. Including a tan blazer for £5, some boots I've had my eye on (also £5) and a pair of trousers for £1!

Overdressing for a random Tuesday! Always makes me happy to dress up just to mooch around the house.

This thread has encouraged me to do some online shopping, the Helen Chalmers glass jewellery (PP mentioned) is lovely - just bought some.

Something I love - Perfume. Inexpensive because I tend to buy in TK Maxx or Savers, which is far cheaper than other shops. Just bought some CKIn2U which smells quite fresh ( was amused that the web description included "cactus", whatever sort of smell is a cactus ?)

I bought the Sanex bar soap recently for a sensitive skinned visitor - and - surprisingly - it has a gorgeous light scent.

Yes me too, flowers
