    Little Luxuries Season 1 Top Brands

Transcript

These are the top three brands of Little Luxury's season one. Manucora manuka honey from episode one. This is a $200 jar of honey, and it's what kicked off the whole idea of the Little Luxury series. My friend runs this company, and I was like, wait. This is super cool. It's expensive better also super tasty, unique, and $200 is something that you could spend on honey. They're straight from New Zealand and they're some of the most fantastic honey in the world. You can get some of their versions for as low as $40 but the most potent goes for 200. West Elm sheets, episode nine. This is a $300 set of sheets and it's one of my favorite little luxuries that I've been living with for the last five years. It took me forever to finally pull the trigger to spend hundreds of dollars on sheets, but I literally get into my bed and I smile every single night. Goodland Hose, episode seven. This is a $125 garden hose and it has become one of my most popular videos with over a million views. That's insane. I think the whole concept of an expensive garden hose is hilarious, but then I researched the product and I saw that it's actually high quality and worth it for people with taste who like nice things like me and all of you who love these videos. Little luxuries are not supposed to be the most practical. They're supposed to spark joy for being beautiful and functional. I've researched to find these products and look at them with the lens of a founder who built a multimillion dollar e worse business. My life revolves around high quality and beautifully designed things, and it's been so cool to share them with you all. I would love to hear about your favorite little luxuries in the comments below as I prep for season three.
