I think spending the voucher on Pokémon cards actually makes sense. The goal is to support local businesses, and if buying something fun brings happiness, that’s valid too. Groceries are important, but joy is also a necessity. Personally, I’d use most of mine on essentials, but save a bit for something that feels like a treat.
Looking at consumer goods, it’s clear brands that resonate with Gen Z—like Pop Mart or Laopu Gold—are thriving. Younger buyers value novelty & cultural identity, which is why traditional names like Estee Lauder or Coach are struggling. It’s less about the product itself and more about relevance.
For investing, I’d balance both sides. Trendy brands can deliver strong growth if you catch them early, but tastes shift quickly. Established luxury players may be undervalued if they adapt. My approach would be to diversify: some exposure to rising “new wave” names, while holding on to classic brands with proven resilience.
