You really should buy a bedbug proof mattress cover and interceptors for the legs of your bed and furniture. Trust me when I say that an ounce of prevention will save you a lot of trouble, cost, and emotional trauma. Even if it costs more, buy then anyway.

For me, literally game changing item is a game controller. For the games with native controller support it is awesome. Its easier and more confortable than mouse and keyboard. Of course it is not comparable with mouse and keyboard, especially in games heavily relied on mouse, but for anything else, on my opinion, it is a better option. My controller is quite cheap, but works well. I bought a controller to see what it is and how different it is for gaming, compared to mouse and keyboard. At first it was difficult, as i did not have an experience with controller, but now i enjoy it.
Good one, a controller is really a game changer. I enjoy it too, and think it's even much needed one for some games, like Dark Souls. 4 years ago I bought the used Xbox controller from a co-worker, as he got himself the new version. Paid him $10-15 IIRC. This year I bough a new wireless USB-Dongle for $15, as the old one got wonky. Very much worth it.
I was gonna say an OLED monitor but then i saw the 100$ or less
Bidet attachment for your toilet bowl. Trust me, youβll never go back.
LUXE Bidet NEO 185 Plus The hinges are great for cleaning.
Agree, but splurge and get one that has a water heater. No one wants cold water sprayed there.
Eh. Cold water is fine. Iβve been using cold water for years.
Warm water is nicer, but cold water is fine.
Yeah mine was just 30 β¬. You never have to manually clean your ass ever again because the thing just does it for you!
A microwave sandwich griller. I saw one recommended on another of this type thread, so I gave it a try. You canβt believe how great this thing is. When I worked in an office, I had grilled sandwiches several times a week, and I still use it at home all the time.
Doesn't look bad at all! Seems like a nice and space saving alternative to a dedicated sandwich maker.
Low-profile noise-cancelling earbuds. Lived with a snoring roommate for some months, don't know how I would've slept without those.
CPAP for the roommate and sleep issues for both of you sorted.
Example?
The nothing buds are pretty good and if I'm not wrong I got them under 50.
Seconded
Bidet.
Yeah. I said it.

One of those flip boards for folding shirts, especially if youβre adhd, it makes it so you can neatly fold them and still see the front of the shirt so no more unfolding a bunch of things to check if itβs what you want and then just get left there unfolded
genuinely curious, do most people fold shirts so the front ends up inside? I pretty much just copied the way they fold them at stores so the front is on display
My wife doesn't just do this, she irons t-shirts inside out to protect the design, but also folds them with the design on the inside. Most of my t-shirts are black, so I have no way of telling them apart without unfolding them...
Sounds like you should spend 100β¬ on changing your wife then! /s

Blackout curtains in combination with a sunlight alarm clock to fall asleep more easily and wake up gentler without my phone.
