From a cheap mascara to an expensive set of sheets. What are your favorite things this year?

Re: Since Oprah's gone...Your favorite things
Ooh, fun!
Rent the Runway - They don't have a large plus size selection, but I have to say my overall experience was fabulous and I will use them in the future for events.
Cuisinart Smart Stick - I've used this thing a lot this year. Love all the attachments and it's relatively easy to clean.
I've got more, but those were the first two I thought of.
Philz coffee is my favorite indulgence. I'm partial to the Philtered Soul. Yum!
Amazon prime is my working mom's magic (2 day delivery for most stuff and it shows up at my door without me having to fit shopping into my schedule).
Huge fan of the portable potty.
This was a lifesaver for trips long and short. https://potette.com/
Loving free printables from https://eighteen25.blogspot.com/ I love decorating for holidays, and I have been using their free printables in a cheap frame I bought. Easy and cheap holiday decor.
One of my favorites over the years are the hotel collection sheets at Macy's. Not cheap, not terribly expensive, but uber soft. I thought of this list when I noticed a tear in my sheets this morning while making the bed. Looks like I need to buy a new white sheet set.
Tassimo
Contigo water bottles
Contigo travel mugs
Mint.com (or the app)
We recently had a tear in our fitted Hotel Collection sheet too! I just replaced the fitted sheet with a Wamsutta line at BB&B because Hotel discontinued our color. The Wamsutta seems to be thicker and softer than the Hotel ever was. I'll have to check on the name of the sheet/threadcount/etc, but I only found it in store as a single fitted, they only have sets in the higher TC online.
Mexican Coke
Snuggly toddlers
my immersion blender
i just finished an amazing book for all the people who may or may not like to cook (and for the people who want to, but are scared - it's definitely for you!) called The Kitchen Counter Cooking School by Kathleen Flinn. Books and cooking are two of my favorite things.
Big Paw olive oils and balsamics (God, I love vinegar) - they're made locally, so if you get it at the farmer's market it's fresh and divine.
really good german mustard. I bought jars and jars when we were in dusseldorf. I may need a major special order again
Thanks this is worth looking into for me. I bought two sets about 7 years ago. They were so softttttttt. I bought another set about 3 years later that weren't nearly as soft. I would love an alternative.
We also loved the Hotel line until all our sheets tore.
I haven't found anything that isn't outrageously expensive to replace my fav. Do share J.
CeraVe Lotion.
Fekkai Technician Conditioner.
Caphalon flat bottom wok with a lid.
Popie Basin Red (wine, yum yum)
This in and of itself is my favorite thing this year. LO helped me Christmas shop from his Bumbo on the desk Monday morning (me with hot coffee in hand and still in PJ's), and I already have a bunch of that stuff wrapped and under the tree. LOVE!
Love! This was definitely my best new favorite thing of 2011. Have used at least 5x this year, and already have some dresses scheduled for a couple of events in March.
I love the Potette! seriously brilliant invention and has saved us more times than I can count.
Also:
Blue Bottle coffee. The best!
my SodaStream fizzy water maker.
Spotify and Pintrest. I don't use either very much, but get seriously sucked in when I do.
JR Watkins stuff from Target.
Yes! As a FTM and busy woman, I am loving the delivery of diapers to my door! As a guilty pleasure, I love Silly Souls hats for LO...so cute and fit his huge noggin' really well! I'm giving one to each of my preggo friends for Christmas this year!
I love my sleep number mattress. I really think it is the main reason I've been feeling so good this pregnancy. I don't even sleep with tons of pillows to prop me up.
I love just about everything inside Bi-Rite market. I'd love to just eat my way through that store!
The San Rafael Sunday farmers' market.
Wool socks.
My baby boy.
Sadly I have not got anything "new" this year as far as gadgets go
The iPad! I'm not just saying this because our apple stocks will be what sends Harper to college, but seriously it is the best gadget for a new mom. I can easily surf the web, read, play games while bf any time of day. Ilaptops a re great but I found them bulky when also holding a baby.
My immersion blender.
Trader joes apple cider.
Pinterest
my iphone
Do I need an immersion blender?
Canon Rebel DSLR
Nursing a cranky 9-month-old to sleep

Yes
Gosh, if we're talking about sheets, the best sheets ever are Spalena sheets. I got them from Costco ages ago and ended up selling several of my friends on them. I used to spend hundreds on high end sheets and bedding, but nothing was as silky soft as these.

L'Oreal One Sweep Eyeshadow - I'm way too lazy to put on the multiple shades on each part of the lid like you're supposed to
Dr Pepper Ten - yummy Dr Pepper flavor, only ten calories
Beco Gemini - even though my kidlet hates being restrained (even in a carrier), he doesn't mind facing out in this for the fifteen minutes it takes me to walk through and shop Forever 21.
Neutrogena Overnight Lip Treatment - I get chapped lips all the time and nothing works better to get them back in shape
Target Up and Up brand squeezable baby food pouches - because I was spending way too much on those Ellas and Plum Babys for baby food on the go.
