Water flosser + electric toothbrush combo. Water flossers are game changers.

A bidet spray...

Think of it like a kitchen faucet spray for your ass, after taking a dump...

But otherwise, take an empty disc top shampoo container and use it .

gifted a dry-soon https://www.lakeland.co.uk/21736/dry-soon-3-tier-heated-airer - fancy thing that I wouldn't consider buying myself in an hundred years, but actually a drying rack with a built in heating element is an amazing thing to own. way cheaper than a dryer (not that any of the rented places I've stayed in have had one) but can still reliably dry laundry way better than even sticking it on radiators or whatever

If we're talking about obvious things, getting a washing machine and kitchen with all that comes with it is a tremendous improvement in a new apartment.

If I had to pick something less obvious, I'd say for me it was an e-book. It's hard to measure the effect, but I mostly read non-fiction and knowledge creates a lot opportunities over time in private and work life.

Very small quality of life increase, but I got the Scrub Daddy Soap Daddy. Makes life a bit easier and tidier for cleaning up in the kitchen.

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.
