There’s 3 things that really stand out for me that I would say made a massive difference to my life:

  1. Cordless screw driver. Bought the day after building a flat pack bed with a crappy screw.driver that just shredded my hand. Thought it was frivolous at the time, but I’ve used it so much since. It’s light, small enough to fit in my pocket and good for 90% of DIY tasks.

  2. Tassimo coffee machine. Bought it 9 years ago, use it every day. Nice quick easy coffee. What’s not to like.

  3. My first DSLR camera. It was a Nikon D50 back in 2005/6 and it sparked my interest in photography to this day. It gave me a hobby I can take lots of places and do it alone or with others. I never loved the D50 camera itself, but I did get some really nice shots with it

    I’m either at my desk studying/working for a good 4-6 hours or I’m on my feet 6-7 hours a day. Keeping that in mind:

    1. A really nice office chair. Perforated back, good adjustable lumbar support and head rest, quiet wheels, soft cushion.

    2. One of those fold out sofa/bed things. Folds out flat into a giant bed, folds up into a convenient couch thingy. Better than a mattress to sleep on.

    3. A good pair (or two) of shoes. Over the years it’s been anything from a cheap pair of skechers to some no name shoes of off amazon to Adidas ultraboosts. Always try in person. Should feel as comfortable as your most comfortable shoes now.

    Bonus: a good coffee grinder + v60 pour over + paper filters. Great coffee for under a 100 quid.
