What's an impulse purchase you've made and it turned out to be awesome? (lemmy.world)

So I kind of impulsively bought a Steam Deck OLED this weekend, I hadn't really done much research and I haven't really played any games in about 15 years.

Now I have to wait for it to be delivered and, I'm worried this is something I'll use a few times and forget about it.

What's something you impulsively bought and fell in love with?

I wanted to get those tiles but they seem a hassle to clean/maintain. How long have you had yours?

Cleaning is a non issue, some dirt accumulates beneath them but you never notice until you lift them up again.

Maintenance wise they do fade in the sun, but it only takes like a couple hours to apply a couple of coats of new stain to a whole deck (like maybe once every two or three years depending on your tolerance for fading). Otherwise they've held up great for ~4 years of constant, year long exposure.
