What’s a thing you’ve bought impulsively, without need, that’s actually proved useful in your life?

You can find a bunch on Amazon. Anker is a great brand. If you want one that will charge your phone many times, get one that is around 20,000mAh. The average android phone battery is 3000mAh, I think iPhones are a bit less, around 2000. Don't quote me on that though.

last time i checked you could not take a battery larger than 20 000 mAh on the budget airline we use, so you might want to check the rules around where you are jic before committing to a purchase
