Some things are worth spending a little extra money on, especially when they’re products you use every day. From everyday essentials to little luxuries that make your routine feel more put together, certain purchases are worth the investment. Here are my top five things I think are worth the money, whether you’re looking to upgrade your everyday life, treat yourself to something nice or find a little inspiration for your Christmas wish list.
1. Bombas Socks
I don’t go a day without wearing Bombas socks. They are worth every penny, and they operate on a one-for-one donation model, meaning they do not donate cash proceeds or a percentage of profits; instead, for every item you purchase, they donate a specially manufactured clothing item to someone experiencing homelessness. And they’re the most comfortable socks ever. It’s honestly a win-win situation.
2. Lola Blanket
This one took me a while to accept the price point. I can admit, it’s a little crazy, but when I finally ordered mine, I understood the hype. Similar to Bombas, Lola Blankets gives back by donating a portion of its proceeds to a good cause. The company donates 10% of profits from Rosewater Lola Blankets to the Huntsman Cancer Institute to support cancer research and treatment, which makes the purchase hurt a little less knowing we’re giving someone a little more.
3. Quality Jewelry
Investing in quality jewelry will always be worth the price for me. Spending a lot of money once instead of buying pieces over and over and having it rust seems like a better investment in my eyes. My favorite place to get my jewelry from is David Yurman. They last, have such unique pieces and it’s fun to go into a storefront and have such amazing customer service. Half the fun is the experience of buying jewelry, and it never misses there.
4. Papier Planners
Successfully staying organized feels like a gift in itself, so making the experience pretty makes it that much better. My favorite planners of all time are Papier. The layout makes sense for writing down tasks, priorities and updating your calendar. It truly makes planning feel less like a chore and more like a creative outlet.
5. Dyson Airwrap
Even though I try my hardest to avoid heat on my hair, my Dyson completely shifted my perspective. As they are a large investment, it’s hard not to question how it differs from any other hairdryer or styling tool. I hate to say it, but you can definitely tell the difference. If you want to save time doing your hair and make it look good in the process, I would recommend getting one time and again.
FINAL THOUGHTS
At the end of the day, spending a little extra on something that makes your everyday life more enjoyable can be worth it. Whether it is something you use daily or something that makes your routine feel a little more special, investing in quality can make all the difference. The best is that these are things that will last, making them worth the splurge long after the initial purchase. Sometimes, it really is better to buy something once and buy it well!
