Crayons - they might look different, but they all taste the same
I would have to say my hammock is my luxury item, it's the most expensive piece of gear, next could be my MSR reactor along with my 2qzq tree table
1) My fly fishing stuff when there is possibility of fishing on the trail
2) A little marijuana to help me pass out (medical of coarse)
Journal and DSR camera adds a bit of weight but what's the adventure without a way to record it?
On rare occassions a cigar. I leave the booze at home, it does me harm when hiking at elevation. After reading this entire thread and googling many of other peoples choices, a camp chair sure seems nice. I like the idea of the Luci lantern, no flame, no mantles and no betteries.
My first multii day hammock trip starts this week.
My tablet. I use it as an eReader out in the piney woods.

I generally will not go without my pipe, flask, and harmonica. If fishing is possible, my fly rod goes without question.
I always take my kindle paperwhite and depending on the length of the hike I may take a wee hipflask with a single malt and/or a harmonica
I like to bring a frisbee.
I would have to say my first luxury item would be a small evernew or sawyer bladder with some moonshine.
Second, and some may not consider this a luxury but when you are trying to be UL an extra 5.35oz is a lot, is my Little Buck Saw. I really love having a big campfire at night to sit around when backpacking. And this saw easily allows me to cut up downed trees that other people have passed by. Nothing says camping to me like a big campfire!
