I have to agree with you on SLGs and skincare! I'm still quite in the beginning of my luxury journey and this week I bought perhaps my last SLG for a while. I have notebook agenda, key holder, coin pouch, a card holder and a mini pochette for makeup and random small items. These are enough; I'll get a new one only oncw one of those items is beyond repair. Am I tempted to buy? Yes. But I try not to. In terms of skincare, it is much better to have professional assess what you need. I go to clinic for treatments and use ZO Skin Health products that have been much more effective than all those random seemingly less expensive skincare items from brands like Dior that do not work. While I don't think I save on skincare, at least I know that what I pay for is working.
It sounds like you already have a great collection of SLGs, all the basis covered! And I just looked up ZO Skin Health, it looks like such a solid brand, created by an actual MD, as far as I can see!
Scented candles make a lovely gift because it's an uncomplicated one; while they're personal you don't need to have intimate understanding of which items the recipient already has. However they are expensive for what they are. Like you I only have a few on the go, and burn ordinary candles for atmosphere. Apart from scented candles I don't use spray room scents or infused sticks either. Food deliveries were a Covid19 thing and I certainly don't use them. They also create a lot of waste. I pretty much keep my skincare uncomplicated; keeping out of the sun and wearing sunscreen are my most important measures, along with keeping up fluid intake. I also avoid sugar, it breaks down collagen. If you don't drink alcohol much (same process as the sugar but add dehydration), don't smoke and avoid the sun ....these measures are free! They're also a big plus because you don't have vast expenses in trying to revive your needlessly damaged skin. The complex 10 step skin care program is madness to me.
I like what you have mentioned about skin care, drinking water is so super important and it is the everyday habits that contribute so much to our overall health and the health of our skin. And you are right, all of those are completely free (just takes some care and discipline)! And candles for gifts are great, I totally agree! I almost like buying them for gifts more than buying them for myself :))))
Are there any items you choose not to purchase in order to avoid unnecessary expenditures? Let's share in the comments 🤗
