The Splurge Shelf.

Once per season you stretch. This shelf is for that one person: the moon lamp that levitates over its magnetic base, the retro console with five hundred classics, the belt-drive turntable that revives the forgotten vinyl, the stand that holds the phone at eye height through the meeting.

Everything under $60 still — a splurge, not a scandal.
