My Italian five-ply stainless steel frying pan was a game changer for me. Mountains may crumble, but that pan will be with me forever and making cooking in a pan an absolute joy.
I bought a Sebo X1.1 vacuum cleaner when i moved into my own place in the late 90s.
I have had all sorts of dyson models and bagless & cordless is very convenient, especially for stairs. But nothing beats the brute force suction of that Sebo. Its still going strong today

Electric toothbrush.
Invest in your teeth. Trust me.
A MMO mouse. All the keybinds allow me to have an incredible workflow with everything I do on my PC including browsing.
Audible. I used to pirate audiobooks and get them transferred to my phone and then use a glitchy audiobook app to listen to them which semi frequently lost my place.
Audible just made my life easy. The 1 credit a month is a bit shit but I listen to long ass books anyway (30+ hours) so I haven't really noticed.
A Hydro-Flask brand water bottle. It makes the contents immune to all delta T. Very solid product, highly recommend.

LS 50x headset ($250.00) mainly cause it's triple connectivity ( Wired , BT , 2.4Ghz )
A Leatherman Squirt PS4 (keychain multitool). I think I only paid about £20 for it back around 2010 (give or take a couple of years). Endlessly useful & still fully functional.
