    I Hate Spending Money, But I'll Happily Fork Out For These 41 Products

    Okay, okay, I guess some things really are worth the spend.

    1. Lock in your skin's sweet, sweet moisture with this polyglutamic acid from The Inkey List. I mix it in with my foundation and watch in stingy delight as it transforms my £9 fave into a premium-feeling formula.

    2. And in case you're wondering, the £9 formula in question is The Ordinary's second skin-like serum foundation.

    3. I've seen this oh-so-stylish chubby mug and coaster set in the perfectly-decorated kitchens of all my design-conscious friends.

    4. Ah, chunky white trainers – the backbone of every 'casual but still put-together' outfit I've been jealous of in the last five years or so. FILA's Disruptor 2s have been my go-to for ages now – my old pair lasted three years before I finally decided they looked a little too scruffy to wear, and I didn't think twice before re-ordering another pair.

    5. It's fair to say that the TikTok-famous 'Sky High' mascara has taken our shopping team by storm.

    6. Not a single member of our shopping team can go without these hydrocolloid patches that conceal *and* heal spots at the same time.

    7. I've had this Nigel Slater cookbook in my bag since I first tried one of his recipes.

    8. I'm pretty sure you'll never go back to regular floss after using this deeply satisfying water flosser.

    9. This reusable beeswax food cover works like a kind of lower-waste tinfoil or clingfilm.

    10. This light-blocking sleep mask has an adjustable wire in its nose (genius, right?).

    11. Before I got put on prescription vitamin A, this inexpensive retinol serum really helped to plumpen and smoothen my skin.

    12. I can't wait for you to become the version of yourself that owns this game-changing mop that has a spinning drain mechanism in its bucket. Its telescopic handle folds down when it's not in use too!

    13. I mean, the results of this this Bar Keeper's Friend powder speak for themselves.

    14. When I was a cleaner, my team and I would always put this absolute powerhouse of a deep-cleaner in the oven first thing, so it can get to work while you're tackling the rest of your home.

    15. Got pets, or just have a lot of hair? These copper lint rollers are basically a must-have.

    16. Tackle the Dreaded Patch on your ceilings or walls with this ridiculously highly-rated mould remover.

    17. Magic erasers really do live up to the hype.

    18. Speaking of stain removal, this mattress cleaner will make one of the priciest objects you own feel as good as new again!

    19. A good vacuum cleaner is the difference between achieving a truly immaculate room in minutes and spending the best part of half an hour pointlessly running over a carpet that'll still look dusty afterwards. This super-powerful Henry 'Turbo' one is a classic for good reason!

    20. This shower shield solution will protect your unit from hard water buildup and soap scum (and it'll protect your taps too!).

    21. I'm almost emabarrased to tell you how much money I wasted on skincare before the pros recommended CeraVe's hydrating cleanser.

    22. Speaking of, good moisturisers are incredibly important, but you don't need to splash out on big-name brands to get the best results. This CeraVe one has blown me away!

    23. If the barely-there makeup trend goes out of style in a couple of years, I'm okay with becoming out of touch – natural-looking, glowy products like this e.l.f. monochromatic stick look great on every person I see wearing them, and they make speeding through your work week routine that little bit easier too.

    24. I've been wearing this blanket hoodie nonstop ever since it started getting dark before 9PM.

    25. This Aquaphor lip balm has been the only salve for my dry, cracked lips.

    26. You just cannot convince me that there's a condiment out there at any price point that beats Lao Jan Ma's crispy chilli in oil.

    27. This Scrub Mommy sponge does the jobs of a sponge *and* a scourer, making its claim to our oh-so-valuable sink space as convincing as possible.

    28. This Denman shampoo brush is the best thing I've ever used on my thick hair.

    29. NYX's 'Micro Brow' pencil gives my brows the most realistic-looking results I've ever gotten (including those I got from a £29 brow pen).

    30. If you haven't heard of e.l.f.'s hydrating primer yet, allow us to change your life (or at least your makeup routine).

    31. Maybe it's the broken nails, maybe it's the desperate rummaging for a clean kitchen knife, or maybe it's the fruitless, last-ditch attempt to pull packaging tape apart with my bare hands – somehow, opening parcels always takes way more out of me than it reasonably should. Thankfully, this mini package opener is here to help!

    32. I don't know why trying to use a crusted-shut toothpaste tube in the morning makes the rest of your day about fifty times worse. I just know that these universal silicone caps are going in my basket immediately.

    33. I'll admit that I was a robovac skeptic until I tried this Yeedi 2 mop and vaccum one, but now I can't imagine my life without it. I can choose to only clean the rooms my flatmates are happy to leave open, I can set a regular cleaning time, I can help it to map out our home, and I can map out my flat's floor plan too – the future is here.

    34. Turns out buying some decent yoga shorts actually did make me go to the gym more, despite my late-winter hermit tendencies.

    35. I reckon the days I start with freshly-ground coffee are about 30 times better than all the others. This Krups grinder is speedy and easy enough to clean that I use it about five days a week!

    36. You won't have to face condensation in your car's windshield first thing in the morning after nabbing this dehumidifier bag.

    37. If the thought of whipping up a speedy, confoundingly delicious meal within about half an hour of getting home gets you excited, 1) we have something in common, and 2) it might be time for you to finally try an air fryer.

    38. If your New Year's resolution to work out more is losing out to your complete lack of willingness to change clothes after a long day at work, we have something in common. Thankfully, this versatile pair of sweat-wicking T-shirts look as good in the office as they do in the gym!
