  • Amazon Prime
  • If you ever need to print things, find a non-evil printer (I like my Brother one pretty well)
  • Organizey-things - over-door hooks, closet bar hanging shelfy thingies, tables with layers, spice rack, desktop shelves, etc.
  • TaskRabbits or whatever to do ugh-fielded chores plague you and get them out of the way
  • A pair of damn good thoroughly all-purpose shoes - for most people's sets of purposes, this means probably black, closed-toe, comfortable to walk in, non-athletic-looking enough to pass in semiformal contexts (boots are possibly a good choice).
  • Seconding the advice to get a Kindle. Even if you only ever load it with free/pirated/library books it is a nice thing.

Ditto on shoes. Are they walked out, but still usable? Do you think they have another year or another season in them? Nope, go get new shoes.
