Good nail clippers. My toe nails grow hella fast and if I don't keep 'em trimmed, I end up spending a lot more on socks. Good trimmer is like $5. Though I wish they came in bright colors since I quite often misplace them or they fall off my night stand and are a PITA to find.

Plastidip the handles, you can get bright blue or yellow pretty easily, and one can will last ages.

My tiny skillet designed for a single egg and my small silicone spatula. It's also just big enough for a slice of Spam.

A "traveler's" journal that consists of a cover and replaceable notebook refills. Cheaper than having to buy entire journals once you finish the last one (though uglier, since these refills don't have cool covers), you can interchange them based on context/what you require and journaling is pretty great by itself.

Reading glasses, unfortunately
Velcro for my remotes, I have various places to stick them around my room, game changer
I have a magnetic knife board on my wall. I hot glued washers to my remotes and I store them on the magnetic board.
Tea bag squeezer. No more burned fingers trying to wring out the last drops from my nightly cup of PG Tips.

A good 10-20k powerbank
Two items I can think of: a bluetooth/wifi controlled multicolored lightbulb and reusable K-cups
Rather than setting up strips of lighting along my ceiling in my apartment, just changing out the bulb in my lamp is a really simple way to have full customization of a room's lighting. Nowadays, I find myself just lying in bed, changing the color and brightness of the bulb on my phone as I listen to music, changing it to whatever feels the best. Even for regular use, changing how bright or soft the white light is can be useful.
As for the K-cups, it makes for a really easy method of making coffee at the office. Due to a long commute, I have to wake up earlier than I would like to arrive at the office on time, and it generally leaves me little time to prepare coffee at home. During the summer I usually prepare cold brew the night before, though in fall and winter, I prefer warm coffee and I find it easiest to grind whole beans myself, prepare a K-cup the night before, and then brew once I arrive. Simple and clean with very little hassle.
Carabiners. I bought a bunch for accessory and gear hauling when climbing long routes/distances. They've since been used for a lot more. I find endless use for them and usually have one clipped on a belt eyelet.
