cuisinart food processor
I have the one where the only options are “high,” “low,” and “pulse.” It came with two slicing blades and whatever the middle whirly blender thing is called. i have used this several times a week for 10 years and she’s LITERALLY as good as new.
Akomeya
In addition to super cute home wares (chopstick rests, sake glasses) and beauty (highly recommend their in house sheet mask) this is like Japan’s eataly. You can pick any number of specialty rice grains and then have them polished in house to your own specifications. Rice is my queen and here is where I come to worship.
briggs and riley luggage
I have one carry on, one giant size bag, and one tote/purse thing that matches my carry on. In ten years, the giant one has had not one SINGLE problem!! My carry on has split and nubbly wheels, which I honestly hadn’t even noticed because my bag still rolled so smoothly. and guess what? when they say free repairs for life, they mean it. I just dropped off my carry on to have its wheels completely replaced at ZERO cost to me. Completely worth the high cost, but it IS an expensive bag, so if you can get someone else to help foot the bill, THIS is what to ask for. you will not regret it!!
Marcel Breuer Spoleto Chair (1971)
