I'd like to see this explored a bit further, and compare both reusable items (such as "the good silverware" that you only bring out for holiday dinners), vs items that get used up (consumables). And in the case of consumables, is there differences between ones that are compose of 100% disposable components (such as a stack of stationary paper) or something that has a rather nice component, and then parts that get used up (like a bound hard cover Moleskin or Fields notebook). For durable items (silverware, premium dishware) there is wear-and-tear that can dissuade daily use. But I think it is more that it makes the occasion itself feel more premium if you bring out the gold plated forks for that once a year meal, rather than concern over wearing that item out. On the other hand, for consumable items I think it is more of wanting to maximize the value from it (don't waste it on trivial things) rather than making the specific occasion more special.
