I don't mean what you use to chop down your feces, but an object that you realized only your family has and people would raise their eyebrows at. Best if said object has a sole purpose.

I like having house spiders, they are quiet and clean, and their webs are fairly discreet. My main interaction with them is helping them out of the bath before I have a shower. I offer a flannel, spider climbs aboard, I lift the flannel to the windowsill, spider exits. Another place I appreciate spiders is inside my beehives - they help keep wax moths at bay.

Hose centipedes are great too! My partner and I call them "Basement Friends" every other insect gets relocated outside, but the centipedes get to go to the basement.
