A webcam I bought for a girl who had no money to spare and lived abroad, so that we could see eachother regularly. We eventually became a couple and moved together.


I have a similar story about buying a parking space in a garage near my place when I lived downtown because my then girlfriend was always bothered by trying to find parking. It worked pretty well, now she's my wife.

Best $40 / month I ever spent.
