A temperature controlled pod for my bed. I used to sleep so hot all night long, constantly moving to find the cool part of the bed.
Now I keep it like as cold as can be all night, and my sleep has improved 10x. Plus my partner likes it warm so her side is nice and cozy. Both of us are happier for it.

An iPad. I felt like a total idiot buying one but it changed my life. I’ve done hundreds of drawings, hundreds of music sketches, read hundreds of books on it, I surf the web on it, and my computer is relegated to professional and specialized tasks.
Yup same. I’m usually anti apple and someone basically gave me their iPad and told me to just try drawing on it,
It fucking owns drawing.
Later when I had to replace it I tried the other brands (my usual is to try asus first) but none could touch the responsiveness of an iPad screen for drawing.
A controller frame for my phone. I'm now carrying around a DS, N64, PS1, SNES, and GBA with me everywhere I go. I'm looking forward to adding Gamecube and PS2 and 3 to the list in the future. I can also play PC games in my bed, but can't quite take that around with me because it's streaming from my PC.

My NAS, having access to all my files anywhere at any time is great
A robot vacuum with a mop and self emptying/mop washing base (I live with two dogs in the PNW where mud is constant for 6 months of the year).
My current gaming computer. Besides a faulty wi-fi adapter that leaves online gaming a lot to be desired and failing HDD's because of old age, I haven't touched a physical console besides the Nintendo Switch in years. When you have a powerful computer you can emulate pretty much anything which I feel is an upgrade in comparison to a console which can only play games that are specifically made for that console.
If you thought many PS3 and PS2 games looked beautiful before, my gosh...they look even more beautiful in 4K!! Bonus if they're able to go up to 60 FPS when they natively ran at 30 due to console limitations. Raytracing + HDR mods are always yummy too!
I got a Garmin fitness tracker. I really wanted a smart watch, but don't want to have to charge it all the time.
I got the Instinct, and ended up turning the notifications off right away - i just wanted to see the stats on my sleep and step count. It also encouraged me to start running and exercising more.

Apple Watch
No longer would I have to get out my phone to pay for something, or pause music, or adjust the Temperature. The early models didn’t have health sensors but I still get excited every September for Apples announcement to see what sensor they add next
Even the first Apple Watch had the heart rate monitor, which is the main one people care about.
