18 Of The Most Uplifting Buys To Brighten Your Weekend, Starting From £3

It’s safe to say it’s been a tough couple of months and this week has been absolutely no exception. Added to that, Mother Nature has officially announced the arrival of the cold, rain and not forgetting grey skies. It’s no surprise, then, that we’re all feeling a little dreary.

In an attempt to brighten our outlooks, we’ve hunted the best mood-boosting buys to brighten up your home, mind or wardrobe that won’t cost a fortune. Because if we’ve learnt anything it’s that a pick-me-up purchase, no matter how big or small can really help with the happy vibes.

The collar has been centre stage for the last couple of months and by the look of the new items dropping on the high street, that isn’t about to change. Playful clothes that also have purpose feel like the most exciting thing we want to wear right now. Whether that’s an XXL collar that’s smart enough for conference calls, a pastel printed blouse or colour-splash earrings, something that certifies a smile when you catch yourself in the mirror is a winner in our books.

We’ve all become a little interior obsessed and it’s now more important than ever to love our space. That by no means requires an interiors overhaul – far from it. Something small with great impact could be just the thing that makes you want to spend time in a space. A colourful piece of wall art or quirky candle could be just the ticket.

For many of us, leaving British soil hasn’t been an option this year. Enter Assouline’s travel collections. Although they’re an investment, you can count flicking through these as the ultimate moment of escapism, with insight from local artists, creatives and insiders. Treat them as your luxury travel guide. They’re also excellent at brightening up your bookshelves.

Hopefully you’ll find something to brighten your mood among our favourite 18 uplifting buys below. Happy shopping (literally).
