The title of this entry is “Luxury Goods,” though the pictures include common brands of shampoos, soap, and bread products.
I believe this is a statement by someone living in a rich, developed country about the many things we take for granted in our consumerist lifestyles. Many of us do not consider shampoo or bread a luxury, but for many around the world they are.
Does Christy value living in a 1st world country, where we are free to buy hygiene and medical products – while in many parts of the world these products are as exclusive and valuable as diamonds?
I think it's interesting that someone took the question to mean what tangible/material things are important to you. This could be interpreted as selfishness or as realistic. Perhaps it is better to focus more on the tangible world than abstract ideas.
