Luxury Item

Luxury items are items that the contestants bring from home to make life in the game more enjoyable. Not to be confused with rewards won in Reward Challenges or Haves vs Have-Notes, Luxury items are items that are chosen by the contestants before the game begins which generally have an emotional connection.

In the first couple of seasons, the contestants were all allowed to bring a small pack of clothes and supplies, along with their luxury item. In the contestants were marooned without any supplies at the camp, but it wasn't until  when the contestants were marooned with only the clothes on their back and no other gear. Each season has different rules about what the contestants have at their disposal, but in most later seasons they start with clothing that represents them as a person, a swimsuit, and athletic shoes.

Luxury items are sometimes given as rewards.
