I don't have a lot of stuff and not a lot of expensive stuff, but my top are:
Instant Pot. I have a tiny kitchen, so being able to do x number of things with one piece of equipment is amazing. Also keeps the heat down in summer instead of oven and gas stove.
Hiking poles. Got them recently, and they are a game changer. I've only ever seen older folks use them, but they got it right. Not only is it easier on my knees, but somehow they feel like they let me go further when I can use my arms as a little push forward.
Garmin Fenix watch. Keeps me motivated to keep moving, and it serves as a silent wake up alarm so I don't wake my partner in the early hours.
Honourable mentions:
A good hand-held flashlight. I use this daily for work and when I go camping. Also great at night when hunting mosquitoes in the bedroom.
A digital probe thermometer. Also used daily for work, and takes the guesswork out of cooking meats and things at home.
