I bought a smart watch for 12 €, which I wouldn't have bought over 15 or 20 because I had no need or particular want.

More than checking time it tracks my pulse, steps, and sleep.

I bought an LED customizable marquee nametag for $30 at a convention. It makes sense for a con; but it also works at any function where you'd have a nametag even better than those stickers since it can cycle through 8 messages (it holds up to 4097 bytes) and can even display images (though it is only a monochrome display so B&W pixel art works best) in a myriad of patterns as well as flash.

Head lamp with both red and white light, a game changer for walking the dogs. Red light preserves night vision

Yeah and if you're camping or anything a red light is awesome you don't need to blind everyone to go get wood or chuck a piss etc

There's this product called grab-a-rag... They are washcloth-sized washable microfiber cloths.

Comes in a large box (think maybe a box that new boots would come in) but it's exactly like a box of tissues - pull one out, the next emerges halfway.

Once I wash them, I don't reformulate this tissue box set up, I just throw them in the drawers, I use them for wipes, I wash the floor with them, I have some set aside for dishes. They are mind-bogglingly good for cleaning surfaces.

I give mitt-fulls away because they're so cheap, and people freak out about how great they are.

A shoehorn.

Electric air compression gun.

Good for cleaning and for cooling down after a workout

Answering to how the question is worded:

Toilet paper. I wouldn't normally think to buy but it's kinda essential.
