Kitchen stuff: a carbon steel wok, a Dutch oven and a bread form. Also an electric toothbrush.
But most of all: a fully automatic bean to cup coffee machine

Oh waitβ¦
I believe in you
Samsung S6 lite, the notes app and pen are amazing for work. And its price got slashed aswell. Also buying lots of vegetables during shopping, lets me eat more while staying the dame weight.π
I adopted a cat. Best and worst purchase all wrapped in one.
Furniture of proportionate scale to my body.
To all you fellow deviations from the average height: look up the ratios of how your body is supposed to relate to chairs, tables, counters, and screens and search for ways to make that happen. These things are not supposed to cause you inevitable pain.
You canβt make everything perfect, especially if sharing spaces with people who donβt match your scale, but do what you can and it will make a huge difference.
Also this is good advice for the regular-sized, the problem is just less pervasive for them.
Victorinox SAK. The scissors, blade, opener layer and corkscrew (for knots) are bloody helpful. Easiest $30 BIFL lifetime investment you can make.
Also a thermal insulated water bottle. Keeps water cold in summers and hot in winters. Easiest $10-20 you can spend on your health.
These are mechanical things that require no electricity and always work reliably.
Gymnastic rings, straps (includes anchor kit), and I paid people to set it up. Probably the best money I've ever spent.
A Comma 3 driver assist system for my car. I drive a lot for work, and it's an absolute game changer for driving distance as an enhancement to the stock LKAS and ACC systems. Highway miles are dramatically less strain and effort, and it makes me more able to watch the flow of traffic and keep an eye out for hazards. Their tagline is that they're "making driving chill" and it's definitely the case as long as you have a fully compatible vehicle.

Aeron chair. Got it to use at work, used to get a tired back and now I don't. Have had it at least 20 years and no desire to get anything else.
In the same vein, a Kinesis Advantage keyboard. I bought my first one fifteen years ago and now have two more. As a software developer, I do a lot of typing. It took some time to get used to the unusual form, but it was worth it.
