Hey hey,

What items would you recommend for someone's first home/garden, I'm living in a new build and it's now my own home.

I want to treat myself and buy nice quality things, what things would you recommend that has made your life easier? Especially for someone that's living on their own!

Multi-Cooker. Ninji thing, I use it way more than anything else. Espresso machine, use mine 2-3 times a day and probably saved me a fortune really.

Alexa to use with smart plugs, lighting and Hive or similar for the heating.
Since we fitted a load around the house for various things it's been a great addition.

That could be a big list. Do you own anything at the moment? Or are we talking about absolute luxuries.

For the garden, a set of Wolf Garden heads (rake, trowel, cultivator etc.) with a short and a long handle. The best spade and fork you can afford. I’ve found Spear & Jackson to be the best.
