There's 3 things that really stand out for me that I would say made a massive difference to my life:

Cordless screw driver. Bought the day after building a flat pack bed with a crappy screw.driver that just shredded my hand. Thought it was frivolous at the time, but I've used it so much since. It's light, small enough to fit in my pocket and good for 90% of DIY tasks.
Tassimo coffee machine. Bought it 9 years ago, use it every day. Nice quick easy coffee. What's not to like.
My first DSLR camera. It was a Nikon D50 back in 2005/6 and it sparked my interest in photography to this day. It gave me a hobby I can take lots of places and do it alone or with others. I never loved the D50 camera itself, but I did get some really nice shots with it

You can play non-steam PC games on it. It's just a little less straightforward. You don't need to be connected to he Internet to play most games. Some might require you to be connected when you launch it (I think RDR2 did that), but then you can just keep it running and put the steam deck to sleep.

Are steam library's also shared? My wife shares her steam library with me on PC, would that still be accessible?

You'll probably need to do the whole sharing thing again on the Steam deck
