Cometeer Coffee
Unsolicited plug: I was recommended Cometeer coffee a few years ago and tried it for first time recently. *By far* the best taste to prep work ratio of any coffee ever prepared in our kitchen.

Try
Keurig Hyperchiller
Unsolicited plug: if you enjoy iced drinks, particularly tea/coffee at home (though I suppose it works for alcohol as well), Keurig Hyperchiller at $20 is my favorite QOL improvement in a while. It’s “just” a plastic jug with two metal cups.
Daylight Computer DC-1
Daylight Computer. The Kindle Amazon never made. If it were maybe 30% smaller/lighter it would be perfect. It is *unreal* how much it feels like reading paper, even though the paper now e.g. scrolls Twitter or plays videos.
Kindle
The Kindle is a substitute for paper, via eInk. It's the best available way to buy books, a somewhat mediocre reading experience which acts like an inferior substitute for paper, and an absolutely gobsmackingly frustrating software/hardware artifact to use. I love mine to death.
BEBANG Compound Microscope
BEBANG compound microscope cost ~$70 and is fit for purpose where purpose is “Engage the world with sense of wonder.”
Elegoo Saturn 2
I print 95% of models myself. Elegoo Saturn 2 printer, either Elegoo water washable resins, Atlas tabletop resin, or Ekimate (tough to get ex-Japan). Learned most know-how on YouTube.
Displate Magnetic Posters
has a really elegant thing with magnets and metal posters. Geeky designs available in many flavors.
