That's a very wrong mindset, in my opinion. Before I bought a printer, I had zero things I wanted to print. Now that I know how to design and print things, you can't walk two steps around the house and not find a 3D printed thing.
It's not just baubles, either, each thing improves my life somehow. To the holder of the falling toilet seat, to the toothbrush holder, to the sink sponge case.
And the argument of "couldn't you go to the store to get some of those things" is the same as saying "couldn't you go to the laundromat to wash your clothes"? Yes I could, but once you're used to the convenience and speed, you'll never go back.
