I'm a 30+ year old male in Europe, this should be enough input about me ;) If you want to know more just ask!

In 2025, I'll plan to return to this market and resolve the 10 answers which most significantly improved my subjective quality of life as "YES." This is true whether they are things I already bought before creating this market, or they are new things that I added to my life (hopefully) as a result of this market. That being said, I will plan to make a concerted effort to experiment with as many doable and cheap answers here that I can (especially if they make sense to me, seem interesting, echo previous advice I've heard, are highly valued by traders, etc.)

Top 10 Purchases sub-$100 (random order) so far:
- Nose Rinsing Pot

Resolved NO so far:
- Weighted Blanket
- Aeropress Coffee Maker

I will link to the versions I used

If I have tried something but it doesn't make the "top 10" cut, I'll resolve to "NO." If I didn't even try the answer, I'll resolve to N/A.

Options that aren't available for 100 dollar or less will resolve to N/A as well.

A yoga mat

bought Ṁ25 Butt Plug YES

Europe you say…

bought Ṁ10 Thai massage YES

Thai massage is undervalued. Not many of these are human to human interaction.

I think it's time for a massage now

@Bananas Still want to try that this year.

What about a few (2 or 3 realistically) foreign language lessons?

Will try these next

Eyecover (for sleeping)

Anyone a favorite one I need to try?

I have a manta sleep one, it's great because you can move the eye holes to get complete darkness for your face anatomy. The eye hole design means that you don't wake up with blurry vision from having them pressing on your face. So I'd recommend something similar.

bought Ṁ70 Answer #c58876107815 NO

Just to much work, sitting still on my kitchen counter.

First clear winner. Tried 4 versions after my second nose surgery in January and this one is the best of the all and can't stop using it twice a day.

I'm actually an hobby edible baker ;)

bought Ṁ170 Answer #916156d0803c NO

Hated it. Way to warm 🥵

Small chance of being by far the best answer.

Oofos

Ps I will also N/A some answers when I think it's not reasonable available under $100.

If you don't own a high quality mattress, then a high quality mattress topper

@RomeoStevens do you know an high quality topper available for under 100 dollar?

@TheWabiSabi sometimes, amazon basics had a latex alternative one that is sold out right now. I recommend latex or latex alternative and not memory foam as those are mostly low quality. There are also some thinner bamboo ones for cheap if what you want is softer.

A fogless mirror for shaving in the shower

@RomeoStevens will try, was already in my mind

Viscose underwear and undershirts

@RomeoStevens particular brand you're using?

@TheWabiSabi no, just different amazon ones like david archy

a monitor, if you hunch over your laptop regularly

@RomeoStevens $100 monitor is worse then no monitor)

@intiluha @RomeoStevens do you have an example of a good monitor for under 100 dollar?

@TheWabiSabi nope. And my comment is exactly that I think there are no good monitors for under 100 dollar
