there's a hidden curse here, but you will not realize it for many years.

Lots of comments already but I’ll contribute too. So I have a few:

  • A water flosser. Normal floss is okay but wasteful imo, water flossers work wonderfully
  • A flip belt for running. It’s much better then keeping stuff in your pockets
  • An instapot, I use it every time I cook. Either for rice or for actual meat

I don't really know for sure. Best bet is probably a ball pen when I was like 11. I've used only fountain pens until then.
It just doesn't leak and I don't have to wait for ink to dry up.

I bought a low sided frying pan for when I make pancakes. It makes getting them out so much easier

A Linux USB (Linux was not included but it's the key thing)

An hdmi to composite converter. It allows me to connect my pc to my old crt, I can play games, watch YouTube, stream everything, it made me realize I don't really need a new TV

An 18 button mouse for my PC. 12 buttons on the side which I've mapped my function keys to. It's excellent for gaming, so many things you can do without even using your left hand on the keyboard.

Knitting needles.

Not only have they been essential in breaking the habit of reaching for my phone while I'm meant to be watching my TV/monitor, but I also end up with a practical, useful, personalised product at the end

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

Proper quality in ear headphones/monitors. So nice. Proper over ear headphones hurt my neck, and you can't always turn the speakers up to a decent volume.

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.

A memory foam mattress topper. Mine is 8cm (3") thick and an absolute game changer. It goes on top of your existing mattress and under the fitted sheet.
