Sleep buds (flat earbuds you can lie comfortably in). Mine were dirt cheap ones built in to sleeping mask off eBay. Def helped my sleep patterns when I started using Audible on a 30 minute sleep timer with them. Kindle. Reawakened my inner book-worm many years ago. Library in a pocket. Don't use it so much tho since Audible. Good quality (sturdy and high lumen) compact tactical torch.

Give these people the Nobel Prize as far as I'm concerned.
New soles and overall cleaning + disinfecting of my Vivobarefoot winter boots. I'm so happy they came up with a repair programme for many of their models, it prolongs the EOL of my foot ware by many years https://www.revivo.com/how-we-repair . It's $ 104.53 as of this posts currency exchange but I think it still counts?
A 10 foot USB C cable. It reaches anywhere in the room. I can charge my phone in any position in bed. I only recently 'splurged' on this $10 item and it is the best thing ever.
