Thing Recommendations

Especially since moving to the land of plenty, I’ve come to appreciate how many useful things there are, and also how terrible it can be trying to find out which of the billions of options are good. So, inspired by near.blog/things, here are some items that I’ve enjoyed owning, in case that is useful info for you. For fun, I’m also including some things I want but haven’t obtained yet. Sometimes the thing is representative of a category, any of which is >>> not having the thing. Other times, there’s a specific model that is a standout within the category - in which case I mark it with a *.

For now this is a WIP, I will try to add to this over time. Last updated 2025-09-08
