Depends entirely on what you have. I'd say a used eReader and a VPN is one of the absolute best bang for your buck entertainment methods, but you can get by with your phone for reading if you don't read much. An Aeropress is fantastic for those who like coffee and don't have anything for making it. A good pillow, socks, shoes, and underwear goes a very long way, as does a comfy hoodie and sweatpants for lounging. Most of these can be quite inexpensive. If you're vegan, a good quality blender is night and day for making sauces and creams, milks, etc, or even a gym membership or set of dumbells can be massive for your fitness goals if you have any, along with a scale for you and a scale for food if this is something you personally want to do. No personal responsibility bullshit.

Try to think of what's missing from your life, any habits you wish you had to supplement your life or any you think need improvement, and go from there! This answer varies from person to person.
