Moving – What are things you wish you bought when you first changed apartments?

I'm making a big solo move across Japan and am getting rid of the majority of my things. Basically, I'm just bringing my clothes, some collected nick-knacks, and my bed.

What are some purchases that you really loved that you picked up here? Where did you get them from?

I'm hoping to upgrade from my previous lifestyle of: get whatever is cheap and convenient at second street and try to make it look cute.

I'm interested in what purchases you have made that make you go "dang I LOVE this, I should've gotten this earlier!" (brand recs? lifestyle upgrades?)
