@kevin for $27, this camera that goes in my car and lets me see my kid. It sounds silly (“just get one of those mirrors”), but it’s legitimately so nice to have a clear view of the baby in the backseat

@kevin Got this little tiny rechargeable flashlight for $20. At first I thought "No way I'm going to really use this, but let me carry this around and see how it goes". Now, I'm using it several times a day, it's incredible. Ended up buying one for literally every member of our family. https://www.wubenlight.com/products/wuben-g5-edc-light
