In this Hey Stranger! Series, we asked random strangers in NYC, “What Purchase Made You Happy?” Here’s what they had to say. 

In a conversation with an 84 year old who bought a house in a village by buying antique French dolls, we saw how our purchases can contribute to life’s greater happiness. Whether it be french dolls from Parisian flea markets or the simplicity of a new bed frame, money ultimately has its way of bringing happiness. What is one purchase that made YOU happy?
