I might really like this, but the price is quite steep compared to what I usually buy... $23 for a 3ml sample (in the EU) is a bit much for me.

1) Geox shoes: I love this Italian brand for their breathable shoes. I’m now refusing to wear anything else if I know I’ll be walking more than a few kilometers because my feet don’t get tired. I can easily walk 20km+ a day during trips. I just got my 8th pair recently.
2) MUJI T-shirts: I bought several in the same colors, and they’re made of great-quality material with a fit that I genuinely enjoy wearing. It’s surprising how much difference there can be in something as simple as a basic T-shirt.
Under $1000:
1) All-season car tires: I bought Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires for my car, and it’s such a relief. In my climate (EU), you have to change tires twice a year, but when that time comes, it’s hard to book an appointment because everyone does it at once. Now, I don’t have to think about it anymore, and as a bonus, I also save money on those appointments.
2) Bedroom A/C: I finally bought an A/C unit, and I’m sleeping so much better in the summer. We’re not as used to A/C here as in the US, but with global warming, my high-rise apartment becomes unbearable for weeks. Technically, I spent over $1000 since I bought two units, but the bedroom one alone fits this category.
3) Wiim Ultra: I upgraded my vintage receiver with this high-quality streaming media input. The noise level is much lower than any cheap inputs I’ve used before, allowing me to enjoy the quiet parts of familiar songs on a whole new level.
