Things I own, use, and would buy again. I research gear more than I should, and these are the purchases that held up.

Logitech MX Master 4 Mouse

I keep it for the scroll wheels and the button that switches between computers. It fits my hand, too.
M3 MacBook Pro

I kept my last MacBook Pro for 11 years. This one is quiet, fast, and runs a long time unplugged.

One button, good coffee every time, and no settings to fuss with.

Big enough for a full prep, and nice enough to leave out on the counter.
Shun Classic 8-inch Chef's Knife

The knife I reach for most. It feels balanced in my hand and handles everyday prep.
Elgato Stream Deck Neo

Symfonisk Bookshelf Speaker
Cheapest way into the Sonos ecosystem. I much prefer it to managing Bluetooth connections.
Garmin Forerunner 945

Matte finish, strong hold, and still workable after I put it in. I only need a little.
Superfeet Run Cushion High Arch Insoles
Superfeet
Run Cushion High Arch Insoles
These fit my high arches better than the stock insoles in my running shoes. If your arches are high too, they're worth a try.
Maurten Gel 160

My race fuel when I want a bigger gel. It doesn't upset my stomach mid-race.
Burt's Bees Classic Beeswax Lip Balm

Classic Beeswax Lip Balm
I like the texture, and every pharmacy and gas station sells it, so I keep buying the yellow tube.
Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt

The flakes are easy to pinch, so I can season by feel. It's the salt I cook with.
Trace Minerals ZeroLyte Stick Packs

Easy to throw in a bag for hot days and mix into water.
Unicorn Mills Magnum Plus
Unicorn Mills
Magnum Plus
Holds a lot of pepper, grinds fast, and the grind setting is easy to change. It's big, and I like that.

I sleep on my stomach, and this thin pillow beats every standard pillow I've tried.
