Aeropress coffee maker. $30? Sure I'll try it. Best coffee I've made at home besides a real espresso machine

  • boox note3. it's extremely basic, and i mostly use it to hold recipes, but it makes a great e-reader as well!
  • wireless earbuds. make working out so much less boring!
  • shoe stretchers and shoe stretcher spray. saved me from having to return 2 pairs of expensive boots.

Years ago I got one of those iRig guitar input jacks for my iPhone. Having a wealth of tones and a basic DAW available to me for the first time really did a lot to help me expand my playing ability.

Not quite a gadget but I bought a sleeping mask some years ago and it has definitely made sleeping much easier.

I used to struggle a lot to sleep and having total darkness helps a lot, so I recommend giving it a try.

I have two items I bought for my upcoming Aviation Maintenance training this December. A usb rechargeable flashlight and a 17-in-1 multitool, both which will come in mighty handy these next few years
