If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years, it’s that not everything neeeeds to be a splurge [we’ll forever love a good save here at LIY 😉]…but some things really do earn their higher price tag! The pieces you reach for on repeat, the items that simplify your day-to-day, and the upgrades that actually stand the test of time? Those are the ones worth investing in!
Today we’re rounding up the tried-and-true favorites that have secured a permanent spot in our homes, closets, and routines – because when something truly delivers, you don’t regret spending a little more! Consider this your gentle nudge to invest in the pieces you’ll love and use for years to come 🤍

These are on my ears constantly – the sound is fantastic and they are so comfortable on!

Homecourt All-Purpose Surface Cleaner Spray [scent CeCe]
My first time owning an all-purpose cleaning spray that smells like a fine hotel fragrance! I was skeptical of it, but after spraying it on our counters once and then walking by over and over wondering what smelled so good, I knew it was a win! An unexpected splurge find of 2026!

We bought this LG portable TV on Prime Day a few years ago and have used it almost every day since! You can roll it around, rotate the screen, watch TV, or use the internet [it’s a touch screen]!

AGOLDE Parker Loose Fit Long Denim Cutoff Shorts [true to size]
They’re a splurge but they might be one of the best pairs of denim shorts I’ve tried! I love the fit, length and extra room in the legs. If you’re willing to pay a little more for quality shorts you’ll actually wear, I would absolutely try these!

Sunrise wake-ups with birds > annoying i-phone alarm .. This has been a game changer and instant mood booster to my mornings. Worth it!

Halo Collar 5 Wireless Dog Fence & GPS Dog Collar
I [Devon] can’t put a price on the peace of mind these Halo collars have brought us for these squirrel chasing pups.

Masa Chips [Everything Bundle] // Shop all chips
Chips with NO seed oils made from beef tallow…WOW, these these good! Masa Chips the first tortilla chips made with organic corn and grass-fed tallow! They are definitly pricey, but you can taste the difference 100% and the flavors are so yummy [I could eat the entire Churro flavor bag in a sitting!!!] — Katy
