Giant roll of wrapping paper. I'm using it for everything. My kid draws on the back, wrapped plates in them when moving, gift wrapping, painting.
My tablet for school. I bought it because I was sick of shifting through stacks of handwritten notes while writing papers. Turns out it was the best purchase I made as a student. I haven't bothered to write on paper since, and it's saved me a ton of time and money (otherwise spent on printing supplies). I've started using it for work as well. I don't know if I could function without one now.
My impulse buy of expensive Focal headphones.
Initially regretted it but, after a year of using high-end headphones, you definitely appreciate the great comfort and sound-quality
A bread proofing box. Not only has it made my bread making attempts much more consistent, but it's also great for tempering chocolate, making buttermilk, and more!
Some people just put their laptop on a table and use the bed when giving oral, but sure, you do you!
Local made products. In my case it's LED lamps. It was started when i read articles on LED and in the end i was searching if there are locally made LED lamps and i found out there are some and they are quiet huge since they are doing contract making road lamps for the government.
So i look for the brand on the popular ecommerce platform and i was surprised that the price is like a quarter of the popular imported brand such as Philips, although the Lumens per Watt is lower (110 Lumens per watt). I was skeptical and hesitated to buy it at first fearing it'll become useless junk. But i took the chance and order it anyway.
I received the product the next day, four 3000K color Lamp. I'm testing it first before permanently installing it and what really surprised me the Lamp does not gets hot, only lukewarm, i guess its because of the board design where the individual LED are not tightly packed.
I gradually replaced all LED lamps at home with locally made ones, they even have 4500K color which i installed for my gf room since shes doing a lot of times doing make up and i think that requires neutral color lighting.
Pizza Scissors. Great for frozen pizzas so you can cut it up right out of the oven without waiting for the cheese to cool off. It's also great for cutting dough and just having a 2nd pair of kitchen shears if your normal pair was used to cut raw meat.
