#72Wacaco Nanopresso. I'm travelling a lot these days and I need coffee every morning. Many hotels don't have electric kettles so I also had to buy a tiny water heater to boil water right in its tiny cup.
Saw some people go as far as using a portable coffee grinder but that's a heavier toy

#73Aftershokz Aeropex bone-conducting headphones. I could walk, hike, drive listening to music or phone calls while hearing the environment around me and without exposing anyone else to my taste in music :)
I use mine to listen to podcasts when walking the dog or doing chores around the house.

#74- all matching socks. No more time spent pairing. - clothes drying racks that hook onto radiators. Reduces drying time and clothes crumpling - wired mechanical keyboard. Wired is simpler than wireless. Quality ones have n-key support - bicycle fenders - digital wrist watch so that I check my phone less.
I used to have socks with 'Monday', 'Tuesday', etc. I used to wear them randomly. A lot of people used to notice it and comment why I'm with Friday socks even though it's only Tuesday:)

#76A cheap table-mounted vise with a 360 bearing. The bearing lock failed pretty quickly but I can just as easily clamp it down in any orientation regardless.
It's been super practical for all kinds of hobby projects.

#77UFO202 + Grado SR125x (I actually have the more expensive version of the same cans but the above just fits into $200, and in conjunction with an impulse response EQ deliver an incredible level of broad spectrum clarity for a relatively low price)

#78CO2 sensors for every room in my apartment. Before monitoring the CO2 levels I did not realize the relation of tiredness, mental fatigue and high CO2 levels.
How did it actually improve things?

If you need to dry stuff really quick, get a little cheap desk fan of the kind sold in warm summers and point that to the wet stuff. I use it to dry out my children's boots.
If you put stuff next to your case fan it dries even faster
