One thing I never tire of, and always learn from, are when other posters list their favorite purchases here.  Do you have any to proclaim?  Even if you've made mention before, chances are some of us haven't seen it, so do tell.

My favorites:

One of the Blanquil 15 pound weighted blankets.  (The specific one I ordered is now on waitlist, but they are everywhere.)

The zip-off cover is washable, which was a must.   I love this for insomnia-- the gentle weight of it is experienced by me as relaxing, soothing-- like when one of your warm, purring kitties climbs on you.  I use it summer and winter.  

Lock & Lock woven baskets.  Hard to believe they are synthetic, and so durable and dishwasher safe!  I have oval and round, both tan and dark brown, which look absolutely real.  They hold makeup in the bathroom and potatoes in the pantry!   Right now I think they have only one selection,  K51606    Extremely versatile and hard working, while looking good.

Temp-tations Tea for One,  Blue Floral Lace.  I think they only have green Old World at the moment.   The little teapot can be used for many things, and for some reason I love the broad shape of the cup-  it's very anti- tippy!

And another Temp-tations, H218805  Temp-tations Floral Lace set of 3 Mini Pitchers in green.

They have these in tons of colors, and in Old World, Woodland, Polka Dot, etc.   They are so cute and useful.  Bigger than creamer size, but smaller than normal pitcher, so they fit in many places.  Now I no longer have to worry if my stand-by old gravy boat will hold enough gravy or sauces-- I can supplement with these.  Plus they work as decor.

Love to hear if you've made any good scores.

Hmmm.  I'd have to put on my thinking cap to come up with a complete list, but I can name a few things.

I love my Temptations dinnerware.  I have two sets.  Cranberry floral lace and Spice Basketweave.  My husband and I eat most of our meals in the kitchen, so I keep my dining room table set at all times.  I just think it looks pretty that way.  This is what I use my Temptations dinnerware for.  In the winter I use the cranberry, in the fall I use the spice.  In the summer, I use other dishes I have. By the way @Oznell  I love the mini pitcher set you own and have been tempted, on more than one

occasion, to buy them. I just can't justify it as I have so many decorative pitchers!

Another great buy was my Vitamix.  I bought it probably 15 years ago.  I don't use it every day - in fact not even once a week - but when I do use it, I'm really glad I have it. 

I have over two hundred pieces of lock n lock and I love each and every piece.  Yes, I believe I have a lock n lock addiction.  LOL

I have a few bracelets from Black Hills Gold that I bought many years ago and really love.  I don't remember what I paid for them but I know it's no where near what I'd have to pay today.

I've also bought quite a few kitchen gadgets and applicances, some of which I don't really use but, to be honest, that David V. could talk me into buying ice in a snowstorm.  

I'm sure I'll think of some more things later!

Fun topic @Oznell

Love your buys, Oznell!  The blanket looks so comfy. I too have the Lock and Lock baskets and find so many uses for them, they are strong and practical.  

The Temptations tea kettle is one of my buys, I use it often and it is pretty and very useful.  I have many Berkshire blankets and throws, great quality items.  I like the Scott brothers sheets, they fit the bed perfectly, no effort involved.

The two items I know you are aware of since you pointed them out in a post are my rooster butter holder and glass vase, love them.  I change the florals in the vase according to the season and display the rooster on my refrigerator, as you can see it is decor for me!!!!

Last but not least I have bought a few of the Wicker Park faux plants, hanging ones and a Christmas wreath and swag, terrific quality and the ones outdoors endure the weather.

@Citrine1, you are making me feel better about my over abundant LocknLock "situation." Ha!!!

One thing that I use all the time is Kuhn Rikon's Pull Chop K48049. I cannot chop onions without crying. And this pull chop is perfect for chopping onions and no tears at all.

Turbie Twist V35956-- Both of my girls have long hairs, and they love using the turbie twist after showers.  

Anybody Cozy Knit Jogger Pants A398630--It is very lightweight and perfect for fall/spring/summer. Very comfortable.

LocknLock Containers-- I find that I reach for the rectangle ones the most. I don't see the rectangle set on the QVC website.  But I love the rectangle set.

That is all I can think of right now. But I agree that I have bought some really useful stuff at QVC.

As I thought about my answer, I realized most of what I buy and love is kitchen-related. I should add that I live alone, so my answers are great for those who cook for one or two people.

Chop and Pull--When I received mine, the cost was under $25, I received two four- cup containers with lids ( but only one blade). So I always have one container for storage and one to use for chopping.  I use this nifty device several times a week.

KuhnRikon Stainless Steel 4th Burner Pot--I use this for rice, noodles and other pasta, etc. It sits on my stove all the time.

Cook's Essentials, 10" Everyday Pan with lid--I have had this for many, many years and use it nearly every day. It also sits permanently on the front burner of my stove.

Lock-n-Lock round glass containers ( set of three) with red lids. I also love other containers of the same line, but I especially love the glass items. For instance,I have a set of two glass " loaf" dishes that I bake in all the time. Just today I made banana bread loaf in one such container and a single strip of a five- layer lasagna in the other.

I bought a weighted blanket last year and love it.  Mine was Pendleton but purchased at Costco.

Some of my best (not in priority order) QVC buys are:

* Snow Joe electric snow blower

* Dennis Basso faux fur coats

* Philosophy Field of Flowers body lotion

* Lock and Lock containers (all types, too many to count)

* Rechargeable tire air compressor 

* Women with Control pants

* Christmas balls (Thomas Picone, Joan Rivers & Christopher Radko)

* Campanella make-up remover cloths

* Frost Guard windshield covers (front and rear)

I'm sure I could come up with more if I really thought about it.

I knew it!  Every time people respond to a thread like this, I find out about products of interest, ones that I didn't even know they carried!   Thanks so much, posters-- this thread will be a reference tool for me!
