So the idea of "buy it for life" is to buy items that are durable and last for a long time, things you could buy once and have your whole life, which can save money and be good for the environment

What are some of the top items you recommend for this?

Washer/ Dryer: Speed Queen. Yes, the machines you use in a laundry mat. The washers are not the absolute best at cleaning, but they do a good job. More importantly they will sit there in your laundry for DECADES and clean your clothes. Mine just turned 10 years old and it still works like new. It replaced a GE front loader that died at 6 years of age.

Stove/ Cooktop: Wolf. Contrary to popular belief, they are not just a luxury brand the "Joneses" buy. They are actually well built and great performing culinary tools. I have a DF304 that is 13 years old and I love it. I will never part from my Wolf and it will probably outlast me. I may move to an induction stove at some point.

Speed queen is very good. For ranges I would throw Blue Star in the running. Usa made, high quality.
