Scarpa Hiking boots. 24 years old, 20,000km walked and still worn every week.
Good hiking boots can be incredible. My repairable Alfa boots are still relatively new (by comparison), but I couldn't be happier with them.
Diva Swan speakers - they were one of the early internet speaker companies. They had a deal if you bought 2 floorstanding and 2 bookshelf speakers they threw in the $500 center channel for free. I've upgraded receivers with newer surround processing over the years, but the the core 5.1 holds up great for 20+ years now. https://hometheaterhifi.com/volume_8_2/diva-swans-41-speakers-5-2001.html
Cross-body bags. Uniform black handkerchiefs. Good charging cables.
- 2018 Tesla Model S used 12k pre-Elon going full Elon. ($45,725) was a huge purchase and most expensive car ever but gas savings for my 120 mile daily round trip to work saved me over $400/mo.
- 12ft trampoline. ($200). Kids love it, wife and I love it. Also shows me I’m getting old when random muscles tweak on me.
- Second hand rocking chair from early 1900s ($45). If you haven’t rocked in a chair that was made only for that purpose before it became wholly automated, you should. Can’t figure out if it’s the arc of the rockers or what but it’s more relaxing than the $279ea set of porch rockers we have.
A Leatherman Squirt PS4 (keychain multitool). I think I only paid about £20 for it back around 2010 (give or take a couple of years). Endlessly useful & still fully functional.

Atolla 5v 4a usb hub ($30.00) power really helped with my cable management problems and power up my PI from there
-
LS 50x headset ($250.00) mainly cause it's triple connectivity ( Wired , BT , 2.4Ghz )
I bought a Sebo X1.1 vacuum cleaner when i moved into my own place in the late 90s.
I have had all sorts of dyson models and bagless & cordless is very convenient, especially for stairs. But nothing beats the brute force suction of that Sebo. Its still going strong today
