I’ve just ordered an water jet interdental cleaner! I’m so excited as I didn’t get one for Christmas. What’s the gift you would buy yourself? (Beside sentimental family time stuff)

Treats are for life not just for Christmas... I'm important to me all year round and I often have a little treat. ?

Not bought it yet, but I am going to buy a Smartwatch. I love my Fitbit but I'm planning on doing lots more challenging walking so think a Smartwatch would be useful!

I bought myself a few things from Sophie Allport before Christmas including a couple of towels that have velcro at the bottom so you can loop them. Now I'm going to buy myself a small towel rail stand for my kitchen from Argos tomorrow. I also bought a new butter dish which is pretty but a bit small. The butter will have to be placed very precisely on the saucer. I'm going to treat myself more often next year. I always feel a bit guilty which is I know is silly.

The Dyson air wrap. Such an indulgence!

I buy myself a Christmas present every year. This year it was a new lens for my camera. Why shouldn’t I?

I've only gone and bought myself some over the knee boots. Absolutely love them

Not bought it yet but I'm going to get some decent secateurs.

Ordered on line 'must have' fleece lined wellies. Thought also about a vacuum cleaner in the Argos sale but seems extravagant when already having one but means I will not have to carry my existing one, although very light, up and down stairs.

GrannyFirstLight Sat 28-Dec-19 14:52:38

A new pair of snowshoes with built-in crampons!

EthelJ Sat 28-Dec-19 14:56:50

We need a new vacumn cleaner so probably that although it's not very exciting

A couple of treats from the Sahara sale - a sort of artist’s type smock top (very forgiving) and a boucle coat/cardigan thingy.

A coffee press in TKMax sale. Cost £5 very happy with that.

I bought some nice sunglasses on sale. Normally I make do with cheap ones, but these are nice!

CBBL Sat 28-Dec-19 15:26:31

Emerald & diamond earrings (quite small stones)! I felt I could not ask for these, as they would definitely be thought way too expensive.

Bought myself a dishwasher for Christmas. Yes, in the face of a very messy teenager in the kitchen, I love it.

I've called it Gerald. Many a night Gerald and I spend chatting to each other. He never tells me off, always does what I ask him to do and doesn't cost much to run..

I bought myself a beautiful handmade rag doll from Folksy. I'm 55 but I don't care she is lovely!

I have just bought myself a lovely navy jumper with stars on in the sale at Joules.

I saw Mary Berry wearing one on one of her shows with a starry scarf. I managed to get a 'starry' scarf from White Stuff (or was it Fat Face?) earlier in the year. Fed up with my 'winter jumper collection', will be nice to wear something different.

I was given some lovely presents, but my favourite from grandson and partner was a lap tray with a beautiful picture on it of my 2 great grandsons. Almost too lovely to use.
What was your favourite?
