Well, I can say with the utmost certainty that material things do not make me happy. The love and respect from a wonderful man is what fills my heart and soul with happiness.....that, can never be bought.
Why do we feel materialistic things will make us happy?
Usually it fills a purpose in the persons life who wants such an object like books people enjoy obtaining those because they entertain or teach a subject that the certain person is trying to learn or a gun someone who wants a gun might feel like they need protection or that they want to use one to join a gun club or a musical album a person might want one because they enjoy listening to the artist
Material things don't make us happy, it's love inside of our hearts that does so.
Movies and video games make me happy when they make me laugh or just have a good time with them,
Some things have special meaning to you because they remind you of someone dear
But of course, you can't buy happiness.
