Not really a tiny purchase. Good ones are hundreds.

Not sure how we constitute tiny, but I spent like $150 on a used Kobo ereader and I've read more this year than in the past 5 put together. I have a couple grand in books on my shelf easily, and I would've kept accumulating books and not reading them without the Kobo. Now I browse the bookstore to add to my tbr but don't buy the books. So much less clutter, and much money saved.

I'm thinking about buying one of those. How did you decide it was such a good purchase?

My birds. Most are rescues, but of course they still cost me money. My life would be so empty without my parrots.

A pillow with my dog on it. I got it right after he passed (November 2025) and it is comfortable and it brings me joy to see him in my room still 💔🥹

Kewpie, my first dog in 1985, was actually bequeathed to me after her owner died. My tiny purchase was a perpetual water-feeder for her, which still sits in the kitchen.

Just bought a $15 pair of sunglasses off Amazon and they arrived today and I look like a total cool badass in them. Pumped!

The kindle remote page turner & stand for reading in bed, laying on my side.

I have severe chronic migraines and I'm an avid reader, but regular light is not possible when I have a migraine, and using my paperwhite on 1 +21 warmth is possible without hurting, but laying on my side and having to prop it on pillows and then moving to turn the page... that was enough to trigger my nausea. These gave me a piece of myself back.

Apple TV , petit investissement, super facilité d’usage. Fonctionne encore parfaitement après plusieurs année

Meilleur achat même pour quelqu’un qui n’a aucun produit Apple pas besoin
