I bought Chantel pots in 1985 when I was 24 yo. I'm 60 now and they still look almost the same as when I bought them. Buy well to buy once, but what really sucks is you have to have money to save money. My sister still buys crappy pots and refuses to pay more than $25 for them, but she's had to replace each pot 5 or 6 times over the years. I have every intention of giving them to my nephew (sister's son) before I pass and I am absolutely confident, if he takes minimal care of them, he can give them to his kids. The pots also came with a lifetime guarantee, which I've never needed.

Absolutely brilliant, one of our best buys, and we have popup's in the bathroom so we use OXO Good Grips Silicone Shower & Tub Drain Protector https://www.oxouk.com/products/silicone-shower-tub-drain-protector-3/ . The only down side we find with all of them is because the water goes down slow it can leave soap grunge down the drain, so I turn on the water for a bit after I've cleaned the bath and sink to stop build up

As dependable and durable as Samsonite always is - got dragged on many a train, thrown in cabs, checked on planes, and got dragged over all types of surfaces - but with super cute colors.

Have a pair of beverdynamics and an audio technica agx1 gathering dust, both gave me a build up of dry skin and ear wax. Had ear pod equivalents(samsung) but I can't hear when I'm out walking or riding a bike and not share friendly after being stuffed in an ear. So I own a pair of "Shokz OpenRun" bone conduction headphones, solves all of the above, would never go back, brilliant.

Now, you might be thinking, "Investing in quality sounds expensive." And while it's true that some of these items might have a higher upfront cost, think of it as an investment in your future self. By choosing products that are built to last, you'll save money in the long run by not having to constantly replace worn-out or broken items. Plus, you'll be doing your part to reduce waste and support sustainable practices!

I have the Amazon version and I love it. Took my 2nd Mama to the beach last yr for our birthdays, they are a day apart. She saw a similar pot in a store we were in and liked it. I told her that I have the Amazon brand and how much I use it. When we got back to my cousin's condo I ordered her the same blue Amazon pot that I have for Christmas and she loves it.
