Long USB-C and Lightning charging cables (get braided ones for longevity).
Fastest charger in your car. 15 minute drive and your phone is ready for rest of the day.
Merino (Icebreaker) underwear and hoodies. You'll never want to wear anything else.

High quality floor standing speakers, although I would say the average person can get almost the same QOL improvement from $500 bookshelf speakers. I use them for music, movies/TV, watching videos on YouTube including technical ones, and even occasionally video conferencing.
