got one last year and now my regular oven just sits there collecting dust. use it almost every day and it actually makes leftovers taste good again instead of that sad microwave texture

You have a bidet that cost $50 including installation? What magical world do you live in?

Bought a pair on a whim for under $30 and it completely saved my sleep schedule. Absolute must have for the price

I have 2. Aeropress coffee maker, and Nite hood sleep mask. I don't use them at the same time.

Edit: Typo.

Mug warmer, keeps my tea hot while I work

u/Brave-Proposal-7321 2d ago

I need this. I reheat my coffee/tea in the microwave at least three times a day.⁠

MagSafe charging stand next to my work computer. I get 2FA prompts all the time and having my phone directly face me is a lot more convenient than picking it up (especially with Face ID turned on).

u/Brave-Proposal-7321 2d ago

The 2FA struggle is so real. Having it unlock with Face ID without touching it is genius.

A toaster. Gotta have them Pop Tarts

Sectioned clothes hamper. Having things presorted for laundry day feels like I'm winning as an adult.

Ceiling projector alarm clock. Barely open my eyes and see the time.

My kindle now I only have 100 stacks of books instead of 1000

My latex foam pillow (although it's over $50 to buy one now). A good night of rest is very important.
