Little things you can't live without


Smiles and laughter, kind words and flowers.
I adore flowers and though I'm not a very successful gardener, I spend hundreds of dollars and tons of hours on my flower beds in the summer. Vibrant blooms only; plain foliage does nothing for me. :flower3: A bouquet or floral arrangement is my absolute favorite gift to receive; it always takes me aback a little when people say they think buying flowers is frivolous.
I’m basing my answers on what I would replace instantly when broken or died...
My phone and tablet
My coffee maker with a timer
My automatic start on my car
::yes:: Good one!

Same, but I buy stuff that's tough to kill off. Knockout roses need to be trimmed every winter to stay a reasonable size but they bloom clear through Sept. Wave petunias are good too as long as they are in the shade of a tree in the heat of the summer & geraniums go with them. I put cheaper pretty things in pots so I can just rotate them out as they bite the dust. Adore a hibiscus in August too when everything else wilts & like different shades of evergreens too for winter months.

We are knee deep in winter right now so I get flowers curbside from the grocery store. But other years my spot was Aldi, it was recommended by my sons 2nd grade teacher and I've gotten from there ever since, $3.99 a bunch (pretty bouquets or half a dozen roses) well there or Trader Joes, same price range. Nearly always flowers on the table if I'm around, they always make me smile.🌷
 
my Crocs - except for sneakers haven't worn anything else in years!
my recliner - how did I ever watch tv on just a sofa?

I will second the recliner and add to it. An electric foot piece. Got it a few years ago and **LOVE** the way I can lift the foot part up a little of a lot. Only down side is when you need to get up in a hurry it takes a few more seconds than the old style ones. And of course getting up after a power outage can be interesting.
 
GPS! I have no sense of direction and use my GPS all the time! I will never buy another car that doesn't have the built in screen.

I don’t think if phone or Internet as trivial at all
Internet not so trivial. A phone, that is pretty trivial to me. Mine is unplugged for days sometimes without doing anything more than checking the time. I'm not addictive to it. It's not even accessible to me when most people are using theirs, when driving down the road.

My automatic start on my car
I am so jealous of people lately who stand in the doorway at work and start their cars. I could have it installed now that they have them for manual, but I think it's a complicated procedure of pedal presses and ignition key (push button for me) to set it up every time I get out. Even trying to turn the car electronics on with the push button is difficult because it's muscle memory that the foot automatically depresses the clutch.

Anytime I can get away without my phone I'm doing it!
And I'm one of the crazy ones who turns it off at 7 PM for the evening! My husband doesn't...but I need a break from it.

I'm on call 24/7 so my phone is always on and accessible though it will not ring through if I’m driving as a safety feature. If I weren’t on call, my phone would prob be less important to me.
