What’s something you own that has truly paid for itself? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I’m curious, what’s an item, tool, or purchase you own that you feel has completely justified its cost over time? Could be anything from a gadget to a piece of furniture or even software. What made it worth it for you?

lol I agree! Hand sewing is so slow. I only do it when I absolutely must.

As a kid I liked cross stitch, and I think I still might (I’m also a knitter so slow processes are fine) but I don’t enjoy the end product so I never do it.

Cross stitch looks like fun, but I don't want any cross stitched stuff afterwards, I guess.
