It has been accepted that perfection doesn't exist in the real world. That perfect things don't exist. That perfection only exists as an ideal, a Platonic, ethereal form. It works for the better, as perfectionism can be dangerous for your mental and physical health.
However, although there might not be things that are perfect in the conventional sense, there sure are things that get as close to it as possible. Then, if, at the back of our minds, we acknowledge that there is no such premise as a perfect thing in the world, is there really a problem with treating certain things as if they were?
Sure, deeming things (or people) perfect creates an illusion of a ‘standard’ that must be followed. But we can admire the beauty of others, whether things or people, without questioning our own. Hence, let’s avoid using the word ‘perfect’ to describe awesome things. There are many great adjectives in the English vocabulary to use instead, yet the term ‘perfect’ sometimes just seems to fit better than the others.
We invite you to take a minute and remember things that are actually perfect, not in the sense that they are flawless, but because there is little not to like about them. Or because current or possible deficiencies of these perfectly imperfect things don't diminish their general positive impact.
Below this article, we’ve compiled a cool list of perfect things, pictures, and quotes, ranging from the most notable examples to oddly specific and totally random happy things and perfect moments. It doesn't make them any less perfect, even so disparate from each other (like a baby’s laugh or how an engagement ring fits your finger). And this is a source of beauty and perfection that can amaze, excite, and enjoy you.
What do you deem as tiny perfect things? Let us know in the comments! And if you agree with any of the examples we’ve given, be sure to give those an upvote!

We see a vintage tea set, a carpet (in the kitchen!), a copper kettle, plant pots, and books (again, in the kitchen!) We say it's perfect.

It might be because they have been long associated with romantic lore. Or their libido-increasing qualities?

#68 The “To Me, You Are Perfect” Scene In Love Actually
Not only is that something everyone secretly hopes to hear from someone they love, but also the Christmas setting adds to the scene being beyond perfect. Besides, Mark’s (or any of the set designers’) writing is poster-board perfect.
