I used to have very bad plantar fasciitis from my time in the military. For years I suffered every step of every day. I researched possible solutions and found out zero drop shoes help it. I bought some Xero shoes and after about three months it all just went away. Now I just wear zero drop shoes.

Espresso machine, best present ever.
there's a hidden curse here, but you will not realize it for many years.
I bought a low sided frying pan for when I make pancakes. It makes getting them out so much easier
I don't really know for sure. Best bet is probably a ball pen when I was like 11. I've used only fountain pens until then.
It just doesn't leak and I don't have to wait for ink to dry up.
A Linux USB (Linux was not included but it's the key thing)
A wok. It sounds insane that a simple and small carbon steel wok would reduce the time needed to cook and clean in my kitchen. It even makes my meal costs cheaper. Just make fried rice or udon noodle dishes or just cook what we get from everyplate in it and it's the best way to cook on the stove.
An hdmi to composite converter. It allows me to connect my pc to my old crt, I can play games, watch YouTube, stream everything, it made me realize I don't really need a new TV
An 18 button mouse for my PC. 12 buttons on the side which I've mapped my function keys to. It's excellent for gaming, so many things you can do without even using your left hand on the keyboard.
Lots of comments already but Iβll contribute too. So I have a few:
- A water flosser. Normal floss is okay but wasteful imo, water flossers work wonderfully
- A flip belt for running. Itβs much better then keeping stuff in your pockets
- An instapot, I use it every time I cook. Either for rice or for actual meat
Knitting needles.
Not only have they been essential in breaking the habit of reaching for my phone while I'm meant to be watching my TV/monitor, but I also end up with a practical, useful, personalised product at the end
Proper quality in ear headphones/monitors. So nice. Proper over ear headphones hurt my neck, and you can't always turn the speakers up to a decent volume.
Water flosser + electric toothbrush combo. Water flossers are game changers.
May seem silly but a chamber vacuum sealer. It's so much more convenient than the suction style ones. You can place mason jars in it to seal them. I use it pretty much every day.
