Every year at the end of the year, many people on note post articles about their "#BestPurchases".
This year, we are once again calling for your "#BestPurchases" in any format you like.
In this, our third year of hosting, perhaps some of you have found that what you buy or how you shop has changed a little. You may have bought things to enrich your time at home, or perhaps you bought things to make your outings more fulfilling. Due to changes in your feelings or new hobbies, some of you may have become interested in things you had never bought before. It's not just about physical items; I'm sure some of you have encountered wonderful works like movies or books, or great services.
Please tell us about your "#BestPurchases of 2022".
Whether it's a column, essay, photo, manga, or illustration, the format doesn't matter. We hope you will feel free to write about your "best purchases" of the year.
