Spiritual objects are everywhere! You can treasure hunt without even buying anything. You can notice what you’re drawn to and ponder why. Less destructive screen time?
I’m a fairly methodical, budget conscious man with peculiar tastes. I find exactly what I would like to own via online shops like MoMA, SFMoMA, Alessi, Design Within Reach. Then, I set eBay alerts with price thresholds determined via scraping sold items, averaging, subtracting 25%. When a golden goose pops up, I am alerted and I can decide whether or not to buy it. If you gotta own things (I gotta), you might as well own things that make you smile. Bonus pro tip is to use google lens to find products in movies or when you’re out and about. That’s how I found this beautiful banana banana holder.
Everywhere I go I’m looking for treasure. Sometimes it's just a nice looking rock or radiant shell, other times I find a gold chain or wad of cash on the sidewalk. I have always had a collectors spirit and can’t help but to keep my eyes peeled at all moments for something shiny or blessed. You can get so much joy and life force from charmed objects. I can see myself ending up as the cliche eccentric person on the beach with the metal detector looking for precious objects in the sand. Your trash is probably my treasure. For example, I have a beautiful blue plastic bottle I have kept for 5-6 years and have brought all around the world with me.
