In this Hey Stranger! Series, we asked random strangers in NYC, “What's a Recent Purchase that gave you joy?” Here’s what they had to say. 

In this era of consumerism, “buying” is an action we are all familiar with. In three bite size chats with strangers, we learned how to (1) decide what to and what not to buy without budgeting, (2) buy items we will treasure, and (3) keep “buying” simple. How are our purchases personalized, and how do they give us joy? WINii encourages you to reflect on your own buying habits.
