What's an impulse purchase you've made and it turned out to be awesome?

So I kind of impulsively bought a Steam Deck OLED this weekend, I hadn't really done much research and I haven't really played any games in about 15 years.

Now I have to wait for it to be delivered and, I'm worried this is something I'll use a few times and forget about it.

What's something you impulsively bought and fell in love with?

I bought a Sunfish sailboat for $100 for an art project. I haven't stopped sailing since, and though I now have a seaworthy 17 footer (it was a deal!) I spend most of my time on, the Sunny is still my favorite.

Holup, where do I get a hundred dollar boat?

I picked up my sunfish sailboat for free off Craigslist. It even came with a trailer. I had to do a little fiberglass work to keep the water on the outside, but considering the price it was well worth it.
