They are consumables so you can just say you used the up if anyone asks.

As a person who is difficult to buy for (not because I want special things but because I don’t really want anything), candles are ideal as I either like them and use them, or can say I did. Much better that something I am expected to wear or constantly display in my home.

That doesn’t sound right but I don’t know enough about stars to dispute it.

I’m in the UK and my local pharmacy has one! It’s fun to guess what it will be as I’m going past.

Under-cabinet is the best use I can think of. But rows of them in a white ceiling, especially I a living or bedroom area is yuck. I’d rather have an Artex ceiling!

Knew what it was before I clicked! Great sketch

Spotlights have very limited domestic use, and beyond a few applications, look hideous as well as offering poor function.

Also, is it the spots making the kitchen look AI generated?

Poor guy. I’m glad he has a happy ham-filled life with you now.

The plant balls are amazing. Can’t say how they compare as I’ve never had the meat ones, but they’re tasty and savoury and delicious.

Also paranasal sinuses.

Thanks for the reminder to take my allergy meds!

All of the above

How did I not notice this!?

Obviously someone with a cursory knowledge of photo editing works at the estate agent as they also superimpose their logo across every screen.

It’s the stuff of nightmares for anyone with sensitivity issues. So much brightness and so much noise bouncing off every hard surface.

With you 100% on ceiling spots being evil.

You know, I only just realised they have office style blinds, the type with the white plastic string of beads, in every room.

Our plasterer asked about having some above our table, but I ended up with a pendant with a long cord as I move the table (and light) depending on visitors, time of year, or just a whim.

My husband draws plans for people and I’m often catching a look at the screen and asking if the client is sure they want that many lights!

Yup. I hate this trend of having a big kitchen with hardly any counter space. It seems to be something people aspire to here.

Oof. I didn’t even think about that.

I don’t find ceiling fixtures expensive (depending on the style of course. Most house her have a central pendant and many people just have a shade. I think having a bunch of holes in the ceiling and lots of bulbs to change if you keep them is more of a commitment.

I would say dimmable wall switches are not super common, but it’s getting easier to get bulbs that can be controlled independent of the wall switch, although these are still a lot more expensive, so you see lots of these lights that only have one setting.

Yep! All the ones I can change the temperature of are 2700k. If I need cooler task lighting, it’s a lamp or under the counter, but not on all the time.

We were always told to pull our toes up for calf cramps and it does work really well. It’s just that doing it can feel quite painful at first until the relief comes.
