Chromecast is quite nice for the price point, but if you use Amazon regularly, a Roku will get you far better mileage.

#52 tech things if you don't have them:
- An external 24" monitor if you don't have one
- An SSD for your workstation
The improvement in productivity is well worth the $100.

#7If you cook at all: Infrared thermometer.
How hot is that pan? Is my oven thermometer accurate? I'm proofing yeast, is this water too warm? How cold is my freezer? Is my smoker ready? Is that caramel done?
I got a cheap $15 one and I use it nearly every day.

#8An ebook reader. Both the cheapest version of the Kobo and the Kindle cost around USD60-70.
I've gone from reading ~10 books per year to reading ~80 books per year, just because I always carry that thing with me since it's so small and light.
I also save a ton of money since printed books are so expensive in Australia, and out-of-copyright books are free.
The formatting of technical non-fiction books for e-readers has come a long way, too.

#9Considering the benefits of exercise, a pair of running shoes and some resistance bands could go a long way. Those two small purchases helped me get in shape faster than any gym membership that I had in the past. That said, everybody's exercise preferences are different so get whatever you need to become active.
