What's your best purchase of this year?

Question

Every year I buy things that I'm convinced will provide me additional value, but it always comes down to a few that have significantly changed my living for the better. This year it is a hundred dollar pillow that cured my problems with falling asleep.

Aside from new Macbook & phone, I got my first VR (Oculus Quest 2) and that was rather fun. Especially playing In Death: Unchained (https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/2334376869949242/) is very fun.
I also loved getting my clothes from Allbirds, got shoes, sweater there.

My new, portable coffee setup : an aeropress and a grinder (1zpresso q2 mini). I'm making coffee everyday with this and it's been great.

I also bought a portable 15inch screen for my laptop, not as good as expected but still a good use of 90&euro;

I bought a Kinesis Advantage 2. My wrist/hand pain has disappeared completely. Still not typing as fast as I'd like to, but the lack of pain makes up for it. The onboard remaps and macros are amazing.

I bought a cheap paperback book recommended by a friend. It got me away from the computer screen and gave us more to talk about.
