Thanks for sharing this. The beds look great! I don’t need one right now, and probably couldn’t justify paying this much right now either, but I’ll definitely put them on my wish list for the future!

There are much more important things in this world to spend money on, but it annoys me when people who spend 1/3 of their waking lives on their phone buy slow phones… or new parents have camera phones that have lower quality than a potato.
You have a set amount of time in life - make sure you use it efficiently - go smell the roses
Your new born is only new born once - and you know you’re going to show those pictures to everyone over and over - make sure you and your friends can see them
Also - charge cables are actually quite complex - cheap shit is not good nor safe - cheap quality is out there. Just not in Poundland. Amazon is sadly where it’s at.
Also also - most things that you and your kids consume
Most kids drunk bucket loads of milk, try make sure it’s not full of shit - I’m no scientist but organic is a start
I absolutely love the suggestion about anything between you and the ground! That may have just changed my life forever 
As for headphones, I think the gap is closing quickly. In regards to technologies I believe the cheaper usually Chinese brands are catching up at much lower price points, for instance they got there first with Bluetooth 5. Yes the quality is lower on physical design/build and they definitely don’t seem to spend the time to tune, and obviously use cheaper drivers, but personally I don’t believe many get the benefit from the top levels of audiophile sound - though people on this forum may

I do not buy things just because of the brand. A friend buys Sony TVs ‘because it’s Sony’… I am happy to own the ‘best for my use’ item and tend to do a lot of research. Even simple things, like kitchen utensils, can bring a little bit of relief if you buy one that is good at its job (if it costs £10 and you’ll have it for life, that’s pretty good, no? if that spatula actually works well and doesn’t annoy you like that old cheap one then you are winning!).
Hat tip to thewirecutter.com for being a constant source of excellent recommendations.

Not really a tangible item per se, but never go for a cheap conveyancer…not worth the time or your physical or mental health.

I’ve never bothered with a screen protector. I’ve had iPhones since the 3G and only cracked a screen once. Cosmetic damage only. And I only ever have cheap,flimsy cases to prevent case scratching in my pocket. I keep my phone separate to keys etc, though.

Oosh. He might be lucky, my last two TVs have been Sony and I’ve bought them because they were the best option for my needs each time. But I’ve also not bought a Sony TV because reviews revealed it was gash. So, best case, your mate has accidentally bought good TVs for the wrong reason 
Worst case, he’s overspent on the wrong models and could’ve been better off with other options

This reminds me of Terry Pratchett
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes ‘Boots’ theory of socioeconomic unfairness.

Definitely TVs, headphones, fridge freezers, toilet paper and noodles
I think he’s re-telling an old aphorism, here. “Only the poor can afford cheap shoes.”
