#24I'd say getting into wet-shaving has saved me a lot of money, and led to a more luxurious shave. The cost of safety-razor blades vs cartridge blades alone should makes it worth looking into.
It has been a success, and my two safety blade razors are standout exemplars.
Another random one: a nice but basic digital kitchen timer. I no longer yell at Siri at 6:30 in the morning when it doesn’t understand my timer request!

#26Noise-canceling headphones. I recommend Bose QC35 IIs. You don’t realize how loud the world normally is until you take them off.

#27The last one was to Madrid. But really every time I go on a journey, I am surprised how much it improves my life quality.
Not only while I am traveling. But also afterwards, when I am back. The effect holds for quite a while.
