Expensive Things That Are Actually Worth the Money✨
20
items I’m all for saving money, but SOME things are genuinely worth spending more on. These are the splurges I own and swear by + expensive finds that actually have the quality, features or convenience to justify the price. From beauty and home to mom life...

Beauty Tools Worth the Splurge
Painfully expensive 😂 BUT if you style your hair regularly, the Airwrap is one of those splurges that actually replaces a bunch of other tools. Blowout, curls, smoothing, volume — all with less heat than I’d normally be frying my hair with. Definite...
Airwrap ID™ Multi-Styler and Dryer for Straight to Wavy Hair - Dyson
Basically a little workout for your face 😂 NuFACE uses microcurrent to help lift, tone and contour, and it’s one of those beauty tools where consistency is EVERYTHING. If you’re actually going to build it into your routine, I think this is the kind ...
NuFACE Anti-Aging
If I’m going to spend hundreds on a skincare device, I want it to do MORE than one thing 😂 This combines LED light therapy with relaxing vibration therapy, so it feels like a little at-home spa treatment while also targeting fine lines, uneven skin ...
TheraFace Mask Glo with Vibration Therapy - Therabody | Ulta Beauty
One of those expensive beauty purchases that can actually SAVE you money long-term 🙌🏼 At-home IPL means less shaving, waxing and constantly paying for hair removal appointments. This one even has built-in cooling + a skin sensor that adjusts the po...
Air10 Ice Cooling IPL Hair Removal Device - Ulike | Ulta Beauty
🏠 Home Upgrades Worth Spending More On
For the girls spending $7 on coffee way too often 🙋🏼♀️😂 Espresso, regular coffee AND cold brew, plus the grinder and frother are built in. It’s definitely an upfront splurge, but if making good coffee at home actually stops the daily coffee runs,...
Ninja Luxe Café Premier Series 3 In 1 Espresso Coffee And Cold Brew Machine Stainless Steel
A $500+ vacuum sounds absolutely ridiculous until you use a GOOD cordless vacuum 😂 The suction is insane, it handles hair without constantly getting tangled, and the little light showing you all the dust you couldn’t see is equally satisfying and ho...
V15 Detect Extra Cordless Vacuum with 10 accessories
One expensive countertop appliance > five cheap ones taking over the entire kitchen 😂 This thing air fries, roasts, bakes, broils, toasts, dehydrates and more. If you cook a lot and actually USE your air fryer/toaster oven, I’d rather spend more on one really good machine that does ba...
Breville The Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro Convection Toaster Pizza Oven Brushed Stainless Steel
Dangerous purchase if you’re the type of person who suddenly decides you need homemade ice cream at 10pm 😂 Ice cream, sorbet, frozen yogurt, milkshakes, smoothie bowls — you can make basically whatever you want and control exactly what goes in it. E...
Ninja Creami Deluxe 11 In 1 Ice Cream And Frozen Treat Maker Silver
👶 Mom & Kid Splurges That Earn Their Keep
Basically the SUV of strollers 😂 If you have multiple kids, do long outings, zoo days, parks, travel or just carry approximately half your house everywhere you go, THIS is the kind of mom splurge I understand. Tons of room for kids + all their stuff...
WONDERFOLD W4 Elite Wagon Black with Red Stitching & Snack Tray - Black
THIS is one of those mom purchases you don’t think about until somebody spills milk on the couch, pees on the mattress or absolutely destroys the car seat 😂 Kids are disgusting, respectfully. Being able to pull this out and deep clean couches, rugs,...
Bissell Little Green HydroSteam Portable Carpet Cleaner 3618 A 89256890
A couch, fort, slide, tunnel, climbing setup, crash pad… basically whatever their little brain decides it is that day 😂 THIS is the kind of expensive kid toy I can justify because it actually grows with them and there are a million different ways to...
Emma and Oliver Modular Play Couch for Kids with Convertible 6-Piece Design and Soft Foam Cushions
This is SUCH a good splurge for little kids. They get stories, songs and little characters they can actually control themselves without handing them a screen. I love anything that gives toddlers some independence while still keeping them engaged and ...
tonies My First Farm US Toniebox 2 Starter Set - Sky Blue
Spending this much on a BLENDER sounds unhinged 😂 but Vitamix is one of those “buy the good one once” purchases. Smoothies, soups, sauces, nut butters, frozen drinks — it can handle basically anything, and this one comes with a 10-year warranty. If ...
Best Buy Vitamix Ascent Series A3500 Blender Brushed Stainless Steel
🍳 Kitchen Splurges You’ll Own for YEARS
The kitchen splurge that somehow turns into a family heirloom 😂 If you bake, make bread, cookies, cakes or anything that requires mixing constantly, a KitchenAid is one of those things you buy ONCE and keep forever. Plus all the attachments basicall...
KitchenAid Artisan Series 5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer Contour Silver
Yes, it’s an absurd amount of money for a pot 😂 BUT this is one of those “buy it once and eventually give it to your kid” kitchen pieces. Soups, braises, bread, roasts, pasta — it does basically everything, holds heat beautifully and doesn’t need to...
Le Creuset Signature 5 5 Quart Round Dutch Oven
THIS is “buy good cookware once and stop replacing it” money 😂 A full stainless steel set is definitely an investment, but there’s no coating to eventually peel off and these are made to last for YEARS. If you cook constantly, I’d rather slowly inve...
All-Clad 10pc Stainless Steel Cookware Set, 3-Ply Bonded
Is spending $400+ on an ice maker objectively ridiculous? Yes. Would having that perfect little crunchy nugget ice at home make every drink 10x better? ALSO YES 😂 This is 100% a luxury, not a necessity, but if you’re an ice person… you already under...
GE Profile - Opal Nugget Ice Maker with Rapid Ice Production
🛏️ Sleep & Comfort Splurges
I fully support spending stupid money on something you put your head on EVERY single night 😂 A good pillow can make such a difference in how your neck feels and how well you actually sleep. If there’s anywhere I can justify upgrading from the cheap ...
The Casper Hybrid Pillow
$300 sheets sound absolutely unnecessary… until your bed starts feeling like a luxury hotel every night 😂 These are ridiculously soft, breathable and especially worth looking at if you sleep HOT. Bedding is one of those things I can justify spending...
Sheet Set
For anyone who hates being violently ripped out of sleep by their phone alarm 😂 This slowly brightens like a sunrise, has white noise + sleep sounds and lets you build an actual wind-down routine at night. Definitely an expensive alarm clock, but be...
