Yes, Dani. I like that. It sounds so much better than the hackneyed, "babbling".

Another thing for my list is those rare moments when I feel that I somehow managed to say or do precisely the right thing at the right time, thereby getting the desired (or even better) result.

Hm-m-m-mmm... that brings up another one: getting results that exceed expectations - pleasant ones, I mean.

Good cask ale, straight from the barrel, in a tankard, on a hot summers night in between dances....

Making someone smile
Going barefoot, dancing barefoot
Friends (I know I mentioned that one, it was worth mentioning again)
the sun (oh how I miss it)

Most of the things people are listing are more like little pleasure than little luxuries. Quite a few of them when I read them I think "oh yeah, that's really nice!" It's a make me happy thread.

Learning new words like,'blootered' (smile)
Dancing to a good blues band or around a fire.
Festivals!!
Loving it when I get inspirational and write a good tune or poem.
Taking friends through the herb garden, that are willing to sample the sweet with the bitter and laughing.

Coming into the house after a hard day's work, and seeing that special smile that my wife turns on when she sees me. It makes all the house lights seem to dim out to nothing, and suddenly I don't feel tired any more. This after nearly forty years of married life together.

One more vote for snuggling up to a nice warm bare lady. Then too, there's the rare chance for a relaxed skinny-dip with same said person.

That, or some close equivalent dependant on preference, must be a necessity. But a good case could be made for it being both....

Snuggling must be a necessity, since I certainly keel over dead when I don't get it. And chocolate. And books. And friends.

Re: cleaning the cooker with baby oil. I have a big steel range cooker and the best way to make it shiny is to buff it with baby oil on a soft cloth after cleaning off all the cooking gunk. Works wonders and is very theraputic.
