For parents, Kyte sleep sacks and high end strollers like Cybex or Uppa Baby


I've been considering a litter robot. Which one do you have?


I have the litter robot 3 and it's been fantastic. No more scooping and cuts down on smells! We got it in 2018 and I have had to replace some parts recently to keep it running properly, which was annoying, but it wasn't terribly difficult.

Mackage coats. Stylish, beautiful and warm. I look forward to breaking mine out every December.

Classic designer items. This includes my Burberry trench, Chanel classic flap, etc. They are great additions to my wardrobe and have lasted way longer than cheaper alternatives.

What style is your favorite? Some of the styles are so interesting, but I wonder if theyd be flattering on anyone over a size 000?


Garbage. It's for chavs.


"Chavs" don't exist in the US and Canada.

I'm not sure I agree on Le Creuset - I have a casserole and sauce pan, and they're great, but not necessarily worth the cost. Honestly, Lidl does a dupe that looks and holds up the same for a fraction of the cost.

I may be wrong, but neither of these are enameled cast iron are they? That is really what they are known for and where they shine.

You mean tacky GEL manicures. Regular manicures are great and absolutely worth it.

Darn Tough socks.

I'm super cheap on most things, and wouldn't spend money on 90% of the stuff people listed, but I have about 5 pairs of Darn Tough, which are $20-$25 but far more comfortable than any other socks I've ever had and last me 3-4 years

Recently had my second baby and these are worth it:

Night nanny
House cleaner
Meal delivery service
Guava Lotus travel crib
Venta airwashers
Happiest Baby Sleepea swaddle

Nanny- already had her for my older kid, but it’s been great handing over the baby a few times a week so I can take my older kid to library story times, etc. She is thriving with this special mommy time.

I wish I’d splurged on a better stroller with our first child. She was a crappy napper so I pushed her stroller 2-3 hours a day. My new baby is a great sleeper though.

Not worth it: Ollie swaddle. My kid got out of them, and the Velcro is annoying

I dont have a ton of $$ stuff, but I am a die hard Le cresuet fan!

One thing that I've been noticing is fancy brand frozen fruit. It's soo much sweeter than store brand! Ive been doing fruit smoothies daily during January and thats a big difference I've noticed. Totally worth it.
