I Spent Under $300 on These 25 Things — Now My Life Feels Like a Luxury Ad

A weighted blanket fixed my sleep better than a $500 mattress.

I never thought that simply changing my toothbrush would feel like an upgrade to my entire life.

But after seeing the results, I started to think about everything I use on a daily basis, and every little thing I could swap to create more impact.

I used to think large impact had to do with large spending or large effort.

But after I moved back to India from the US and settled into my apartment and six months into a tech role (yes, in the middle of a pandemic), I started to see a few small purchases changed my days more than some costly products.

I’ll share those below, real products, less than a whopping $300, and I use every single day.

Some may surprise you. But each has added me time or peace of mind or comfort in ways that still make me giggle.

And maybe, there will be a few things that provide you the same kind of joy.
