I like my air fryer, but there's certain things that a microwave just warms up better (pasta, basically anything that can dry out, etc). That said, my current apartment doesn't have a microwave so I am glad that I came in with an air fryer

Decent digital instant read cooking thermometer. Makes any meat dish on point.

A water flosser
It's made me way more likely to floss and it's so satisfying to do after eating any sort of food that gets stuck in your teeth
I've heard it's not as efficient as regular floss picks. Is that true?

I thought this was the dumbest thing until I had one. Now I have one in every toilet.

If you have a car: a fast charger for your phone.
It's amazing to me how many use a built-in USB that barely charges the thing.

My dad would say a cast iron pan. That would outlive you and your kids.
I would say maybe an air fryer, I think you could get a decent one for less than $100USD. I use mine every day.
Otherwise, maybe good waterproof boots. I got some decent ones at an outlet store. They are kind of dressy so nice enough for work, but also warm AF and during the winter they are so good.
Plus one for airfryer. Bought one that was on discount a few years back, has a spot on top of the cabinet when not in use but it's almost always on the counter.

Ergonomic Mouse/keyboard
Admittedly for $100 you might have to choose one or the other (though I used a $12 ergonomic mouse from Amazon for years until I switched to a trackball, and I loved it) - but if your job is computer based, you really should consider switching to ergonomic equipment.
Your average keyboard and mouse setup is absolute murder on the wrists in the long run - if you spend more than a couple hours at the computer every day without ergonomic equipment and your wrists don't hurt, then it's only a matter of time.
Granted, it's not just about buying a cool new keyboard and mouse - you also need to cut out bad habits like wresting your wrist on the table while typing and so on, but a good KBM will help you build those habits naturall
A shoe horn, assuming you wear shoes. Longer is better unless you like to bend over.
