What’s something you’ve always wanted to own but never have? – 17 dream purchases yet to become a reality

We all have those bucket list items. Those products that we’ve always wanted but never got around to buying. Personally, I’d like a Dapol Tardis console room, but maybe that’s a bit niche.

What about the rest of the internet though? Well, conormcm99 decided to find out by turning to r/AskUK and posing the following question:

‘Is there anything you have always wanted to own, that you would definitely use/have use for and can easily afford, but still never bought it?

‘Mine is pretty basic, but it’s a toaster or toastie machine. Growing up we never owned a toaster and I still haven’t got one’

Here are the top replies that are forever waiting to be added to shopping baskets…

1.

‘”Easily” afford it is a stretch. I could afford it if I really, really decided to do it, but it’d be a significant investment in frivolity…

‘… but a Dalek.’

‘I want a bean to cup coffee making machine, and could happily afford a nice one but I don’t have the kitchen counter space for one. Curse you air fryer!

‘Goes to make some aeropress coffee instead’

‘A rice maker. They’re probably only £20 but still, I’ve lost dozens of hours manually boiling rice just to avoid making the purchase’

‘A dishwasher. I’ve wanted one for years and now that I can actually afford one there’s no space for it in our tiny kitchen.’

6.

‘Drum kit. I can afford it, and I have space for it, but I don’t think the neighbours would let me live long enough to enjoy it’

7.

‘ice maker. or a fridge/freezer that makes ice. I have a tray that can put water in and freeze it but still want a proper ice maker.’

8.

‘Ridiculously basic item. A laundry basket. Every pile of clothes in my arms to and from the machine. I’ve just not got one for unknown reasons. Never crosses my mind when I’m near shops I guess. I mean it’s not a life long dream item but would be handy.’

‘A pool table, just don’t have the space’
