For instance,

* Air fryers are fucking awesome, but you gotta go for the ones that look like mini ovens.

* Weighted blankets are great.

* Food dehydrators



are severely underrated. You can make all kinds of delicious stuff with barely any effort. Including gelatine candy, jerky, and fruit leather that is fucking superb.

Also, get a good quality bedside lamp or light system that can be programmed to turn on and slowly turn up a warm golden light over a span of 5 or 10 minutes, starting at a designated time. Your unconscious brain will think the sun is rising, and wake you up naturally. And you'll feel so, so much better than you do after being suddenly catapulted out of a deep sleep by a traditional alarm.

Bought my wife a towel warmer. Bougie as hell. She gets out of the shower to warm towels everyday. Worth it.


Also expensive coffee grinder and coffee maker.

I have no such goods. Closest thing is a $650 automatic coffee machine, which is essentially the only luxury I own. I’m a basic bitch

We really buy luxury items for the kids more than for ourselves.

Like since my 1-yr-old is still on the waitlist for daycare, we decided he needed some of the bigger ticket items + variety that my other son got to play with in daycare or in doctor's offices and that sort of thing. So I get to spend more on toys for him- like he has one of those $100 bead maze/activity centers now.

My son got my mom's hand-me-down tablet but it broke last year. We ended up spending about $300 on a new one with more space and ram for him - we just felt like he was cooped up and couldn't play with his friends and stuff, he needed something.

He also has my mom's hand-me-down all-in-one 24" dell, and I let him take over my red dragon mouse and keyboard (so the backlights are rainbow colors with different settings). He plays minecraft Java edition on it, and his cool mom helped him install some mods like pixelmon and metamorph. But he also is starting to get comfortable googling stuff when he wants to know how to do something - between YouTube and Google he is becoming really good at learning what he wants to know on his own, which is such an important skill. (No worries - the computer is on his desk right in the living room)

Anyway to me those are big luxuries I would never have had as a kid.

Probably the most luxurious thing I get for myself is paper plates and bowls - I hate to go through so much, but working full time plus baby on my own every day, I just can't keep up. They've really saved me.

Jimi did it with cable as so many did, as I did for twenty years

But for fifty bucks this Bluetooth transmitter and receiver frees your guitar from cables. I like walking from room to room playing scales just for fun.

It's not fancy pants luxurious, but the best fifty bucks I've spent in years.
Charge em, pair with the push of a button, warm up the amp. Not sure about recording with, but to my ears there's no appreciable signal loss or change.

Great for playing in a bar, sitting at a table low key, people wondering where the guitar is coming from.
My band didn't think that was so funny, but hey

Philips Hue smart lights in the bedrooms. I like being able to do this:

They've helped my son wake up easier on his own. I tried another brand of light prior to upgrading, but they just stopped connecting to the Wi-Fi for no reason after a week or so, and after getting the Philips, I realized they were not very bright at all, either.


My next big "luxury" item is going to be a Zojirushi rice cooker.

Just got a quest. Want to meet up and cyber?

Definitely. Im Well into the table tennis game eleven. The physics blow my mind. Poerstars vr for fun money is surprisingly good given there's real money involved. Beat saber is good too.


We can have some cyber docking too.

So far I've mostly been into xhamster and Pornhub, but I'll give the rest a shot.
