I'm still very excited that my first real reason and want to spend some sats is to actual individuals rather than simply purchasing items at a large corporate retailer. Even if it's mostly small amounts, it still feels nice being able to send value just for engaging in conversation to actual people rather than funnel it up to the top of some wealthy company that already has a stranglehold.
That or buying a gift card for a purchase I would have made, and supporting a Bitcoin business, rather than being able to send those sats straight to Jeff Bezos so he can spray a Captain Kirk with champagne.
