Blundstones. I live in a coastal city that's wet (but rarely snowy) the vast majority of the year. Having rain-resistant shoes that are comfortable AND durable has been a game changer.
And if I can mention a second: A proper, long raincoat. Combined with good shoes, I'm able to tolerate the weather here much better than when I'd first moved to this city and relied on sneakers + regular jackets.
Crocs. Technically two items but you need a pair to get the benefits.
You're good bro:
One UPC = one item. For the purposes of inventory reconciliation you are requested to treat all paired, grouped, bundled, etc, items as a unit or group of units where the quantity thereof is to match the number of uniquely scannable UPC codes, or where multiple codes are affixed to a single saleable unit the saleable unit itself may be considered to be the saleable unit.

Lots of comments already but Iβll contribute too. So I have a few:
I bought a low sided frying pan for when I make pancakes. It makes getting them out so much easier
An hdmi to composite converter. It allows me to connect my pc to my old crt, I can play games, watch YouTube, stream everything, it made me realize I don't really need a new TV
Knitting needles.
Not only have they been essential in breaking the habit of reaching for my phone while I'm meant to be watching my TV/monitor, but I also end up with a practical, useful, personalised product at the end
A car. Insane freedom, I can take a day off work and drive to a secluded beach on a whim.
A Linux USB (Linux was not included but it's the key thing)
An 18 button mouse for my PC. 12 buttons on the side which I've mapped my function keys to. It's excellent for gaming, so many things you can do without even using your left hand on the keyboard.
Proper quality in ear headphones/monitors. So nice. Proper over ear headphones hurt my neck, and you can't always turn the speakers up to a decent volume.
May seem silly but a chamber vacuum sealer. It's so much more convenient than the suction style ones. You can place mason jars in it to seal them. I use it pretty much every day.
A private jet, it's amazing being able to just show up at the airport whenever you feel like it, not have to go through any security, step on the plane and just take off and be wherever you want a few hours later.
