Everything! Art prints, books, photo books, workout gear, gardening equipment, seeds, kitchen equipment. Purchasing tangible items seems to bring more joy than it did two months ago.

If anyone is looking for a good way to support an arts non-profit with their stimulus check, checkout Aperture, they are having a huge sale on books. I'm not affiliated; I just like photo books.

I wonder if this will remain true after Covid lock-in ends. It felt like the pendulum had swung awfully far towards people valuing experiences over items.
