Name some things (both BR and non-BR) that you buy/have bought that are worth every penny.

Re: Fun poll: Worth every penny
Bose in-ear headphones - amazing sound quality, comfortable, stay put even on a long sweaty summertime run
good cheese - (aged Parmigiano-Reggiano, for example)
good beer - I think cheap wine is just fine, but there's SUCH a huge difference between cheap beer and a microbrew
high quality dog food - the reduction in shedding, dog-smell, and poop is amazing

Boppy pillow
Her furniture. Got it from Penney's and love it. It will grow with her, which we wanted.
Target Diapers. I love them.
Land's End outerwear. Esp for the kids, but we all wear it now.

NBR: A warm Starbucks drink on a cold day, especially a day that's been difficult.
Netflix.
Our big screen TV in the basement - it's our "retreat" room - we run there every night after Andrew goes to bed. I love having a place to get away that is not infested with baby-related things.
Kathy, you're a woman after my own heart!
BR: Halo sleepsacks, ergo carrier, sleep sheep & Aden and Anais swaddle blankets (when she was a NB)
NBR: My JCrew winter coat, getting my hair done by someone I like/trust, definitely getting our house cleaned (though I gave that up a month ago and it's been so very sad)
