There's 3 things that really stand out for me that I would say made a massive difference to my life:

Cordless screw driver. Bought the day after building a flat pack bed with a crappy screw.driver that just shredded my hand. Thought it was frivolous at the time, but I've used it so much since. It's light, small enough to fit in my pocket and good for 90% of DIY tasks.
Tassimo coffee machine. Bought it 9 years ago, use it every day. Nice quick easy coffee. What's not to like.
My first DSLR camera. It was a Nikon D50 back in 2005/6 and it sparked my interest in photography to this day. It gave me a hobby I can take lots of places and do it alone or with others. I never loved the D50 camera itself, but I did get some really nice shots with it

My Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 and a Synology NAS (sorry they go together), no more dealing with ugly Smart TV or limited game consoles to stream, and it is also very easy to sail the seas with it!
Android phone in 2020 (Poco F2 Pro) still rocking this device with the bootloader opened and a custom ROM, this was the first Android device for me, and even when MIUI was a letdown after a while, AOSP wasn't, still I go back and forth MIUI and AOSP though, it still gives me 6-8 hrs of SOT depending on the environment and the ROM.
Miyoo Mini V2, I just love to have pocket gaming on the go real quick, those annoying government formalities are not that bad nowadays.
