Expensive, but worth it, purchases?

Best thing I've bought in a long time is a water softener. Not cheap but easy to use and maintain. Lovely to have soft water, minimal use of toiletries and cleaning products and much less cleaning to do. Wish I had thought of having one decades ago.

Suzied snap. I love my Bernina.

It's worth it's weight in gold to me Christinefrance and I couldn't be without it. It's also super safe where there a little ones as there are no blades whirring around either. I sure it all year around on various settings and because it's so quiet it doesn't bother DH .

I guess anything you love and use/ gives you pleasure is worth investing in and justifies the expense! I love my Bernina sewing machine as I use it everyday and it's brilliant.

Definitely shoes for me and Clarins face creams. I have a problem with the heat as well so may try the Dyson fan this summer.

I've got the Dyson hairdryer (a gift from my lovely daughter), but to be honest I'm disappointed with it. Yes, it's very light and easy to use, but at the end of the day, all you get is dry hair! ? I definitely wouldn't pay that sort of money myself! I've got the Dyson fan too. Now that's brilliant!

I have a Dyson fan positioned (as I speak/type)!within inches of my bed. DH has covers pulled up to his head but I am boiling over as usual (due to menopause). It was expensive (bought it on a 6months interest free Argos deal) but it has paid for itself 1000% as its so effective and so quite. I can also up the speed/cool with the little remote control.

'edge' and 'hand' sorry.

They have a Dyson fan at our surgery in the nurses clinic which I had a look at last week while having an ECG. It just blows out around the edgae and you can put your had right through the centre where the fan would normally be. They are quite amazing. I don't have a hairdryer though - my hair just dries naturally.

The original Miss Dior perfume

Bought a pair of expensive jeans some years ago
They were about 90 pounds. I never told anyone how much they cost
I felt ashamed of the price. BUT they fit perfectly and lasted ages. So they were worth it!

Oh..... I'd love that Dyson hairdryer. Definitely couldn't justify the price.

I agree with the cordless Dyson.

My other expensive purchase isn't a gadget - it's footwear. Or what would be expensive if I didn't buy it reduced..... still expensive ?? My walking shoes are German made, can't recall the name but I bought them about 10 years ago in TKMaxx where they were reduced to £105 (still massively expensive). Olive green suede, light as a feather and very very substantial. I bought them prior to going to Edinburgh and doing a lot of 'cobble walking'.

I've a pair of Gabor grey suede lace up trainer type, again could wear them for ever.

A pair of tan leather lace up Reiker boots which were £65 - paid full price for them.

And a pair of Clarks boots listed on the Clarks web site at £89 and I got them on eBay (new) for £16.

My feet look normal but are very narrow and bony and there's always been a difficulty getting shoes to fit. Lace ups are very helpful.

Years ago I wouldn't have considered paying for expensive footwear, now they are my everything - comfort is my goal with a little style as a bonus.

I would love to try the new Dyson hairdryer but just couldn't justify the £300 . Anyone been lucky enough to give it a go?
