@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

@kevin Oh and I guess the other thing that comes to mind is a Google Cloud API key + gemini-cli for vibe-coding side projects/hustle. Spent about $30 so far and have a maybe fully automated pipeline to autogenerate youtube videos.

@kevin A set of those little food-safe silicone lids you can put on a regular kitchen bowl to turn that into a tupperware. *Instant* dishwashing load/kitchen waste reduction/no more running out of glasslock containers and can prep meals ahead better for the week.
They were six dollars.
