A weighted blanket, especially if you have anxiety. I run hot when I sleep and I’ve had no issues since the blanket is weighted with small glass beads evenly distributed throughout the inside.

Perhaps it's more of a hobby than a little luxury, but if you do any handwriting at all, a nice fountain pen and quality notebook. It's just a nice feeling to write with a really smooth pen on good paper. And if you have RSI/arthritis like me, you may find that fountain pens are less fatiguing to use than a roller ball or gel pen. Sure, you have to clean and refill every so often, but that turns into a fun little ritual itself.

Yaaaasssss found r/fountainpens and decided to get one since I write a lot at work. Love refilling and changing colors :)

r/fountainpens was probably my favorite subreddit. Everyone was so nice and supportive of each other. During the time when Reddit gave out free awards, I made several accounts just so I could award new people who introduced themselves with entry-level fountain pens.

Aww! I never got up the courage to post but that's so thoughtful and encouraging for newbies!

It's pretty much always a great investment to give yourself the opportunity to try out different variations of a tool then upgrade to a great version of the style you like.

@ag_roberston_author already mentioned a supportive office chair, if you're sitting a lot. I would also argue an electronic convertible standing desk is a good one. Not only is standing good for you, the adjustment ability means you can position the desk for an optimal sitting position as well.

Yeah. I thought it was a luxury the first time my work got me a standing desk, but the health benefits are huge.

Electronic soap dispensers.

Orange juice that’s not from concentrate, is strictly 100% orange juice, and has no sugar added. Get away from me with that cheap shit. I’d rather have water than bad orange juice.

Varieties that contain pulp aren’t better or worse; it’s just a matter of personal preference. Same with versions that add vitamins. (My personal favorite is Simply Orange.)
