This wasn't a huge purchase at all but I regret tracking down and buying a Heidi Swapp kit that was sold at Costco. If I remember correctly my nearest store didn't have the kit and I forced my family to go with me to the next closest store at night. We're talking circa 2004 maybe??? And I still have sticker tape, a few clear plastic pieces, some chipboard, and three packages of ghost shape frames. I can never get those frames to work!

Maybe my Cricut carts? The machine itself was given to me during someone else's declutter, but I have spent quite a bit on carts. It's funny - when I drag the thing out and use it, I always think, "Why don't I do this more often?" because it works well and I can make great stuff. I guess I'm just not in the habit, so it seems onerous to get it out, pore through the images on the different carts, etc.
A bigger regret is the Slice. I loved using that thing - I'm a cardmaker, so the small size of the images was no problem at all. I bought a zillion cartridges when they were all on clearance, and then the machine promptly started cutting all wonky. I still haven't thrown it away!
I have way too many stamps and patterned paper, but I really enjoy having such a variety. I had a bunch of outline-type stamps that I used to never use, and then, lo and behold, the coloring craze hit. Now I use them a lot with colored pencils and watercolors. So glad I didn't purge them!

This is a fun thread! So far, my Brother Scan & Cut2 that I got in September. I've used it once. I keep thinking I'm going to make the time to mess with it. A lot of the stuff I bought when I came back to the hobby via Project Life in 2013 ended up not being a good fit. I'm still figuring out that there's plenty of stuff I love but just won't use (Dear Lizzy and October Afternoon come to mind). I get distracted by pretty papers and then need all the things! When I did my last purge I got rid of a lot of cards from Gossamer Blue PL kits I subbed to for a while. I too have a bunch of stamps gathering dust...but I'm mostly fine that what I like is evolving. I feel like all part of the process. If you need to get rid of Dear Lizzy and OA, I would be glad to take it off your hands!!! LOL (Seriously, if you want to sell, send me a message!) Esp. OA.. I LOVE anything by them I'll take a look and see what I still have! I did a pretty big purge 6 months ago when I let most of that stuff go. If I have any, it's yours though!

I had one of those and literally used nothing from the kit. I still have a package or two of ghost shapes somewhere, but the rest got tossed I think.

Mine is my selphy too. I really hate it. I just hold onto it for projects for my kids.
I also wish I never bought a Cricut although I did use it a lot. It just wasn't as Versatile as I needed. I should have bought a silhouette first.

I have the pink one. I was a store owner, so that is how I came by mine. But I have used it as a carryon at times when I travel, and nearly every time, someone compliments me on it. I just like using it periodically when I am on a quick trip and am packing lightly.

All of the Hero/Lawn Fawn acrylic stamp sets I had to have and never used. So many Distress Ink pads. All of the rub-ons that are now flaked away into oblivion on their backing sheets. The Making Memories paint! Everything I purchased because I saw it in a magazine instead of buying it to fit my style. Wow it's funny how different people can be, myself and my sister are obsessed with lawn fawn I looove them, I just never use them. I always think I'll take up stamping and do it for a week, then put them away, never to be seen again.
