- Real maple syrup.
- Purses (Coach and LeSportsac mostly)
- Notebooks (I have a paper fetish and love beautiful notepads and notebooks)
- Baskin Robbins Blast (more expensive than a comparable Starbucks drink but sooo tasty!)
- Higher end candy (especially quality dark chocolate and imported black licorice)
- Quality shoes (Born, Keen, Ryka, etc)
- Pilot ink pens (the only kind of pens I use)
- High quality sheets and comforters (I'm super picky about this and require 600 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets along with a down comforter with cotton comforter cover...no polyester!)
- Travel (we tend to be bargain basement travelers but travel more often than most people)
- Occasional experiences with other people (it makes more sense to take all of the kids on a cruise than give gifts they won't use/will get rid of soon, I would rather treat friends to lunch and the museum than give them a gift card...I like to give memories!)
Well that's my list of splurges. These are the things that mean the most to me. What do you splurge on?
I just found your blog and am enjoying it. I agree with a lot of things on your list. I'm a pen/paper lover too and don't think anything of buying expensive pens and paper. I've decided some items, like those you listed, are worth paying more for because they either last a long time or are just things I really like and I'm willing to pay the higher price.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Glad to know I am not the only one who likes these things because no one else I know thinks these things are important.
