If you want to spend slightly more, go for one with a hub dynamo. Those have way less resistance, and don't have a tendency to stop working in snowy weather.

A good quality fire extinguisher, multiple if you live in a large house or apartment.
To that note, a good quality, working carbon monoxide detector should be on the list...
Water sensor alarms.
If you have any doubts about the pipes in your house or have a feeling that water might enter your basement, sensors will help you sleep at night.
Water damage to your home is no joke. I know two separate homeowners who have had leaks from their refrigerator's plumbing (water and ice dispenser). The damage for each homeowner was quite extensive given how small the leak was.
A sun hoodie. Sun hoodies are meant to be worn on their own, cover your entire upper body, be very light, and have a high UPF (clothing equivalent of SPF). Instead of dealing with globs of sunscreen that wears out as you sweat, you can slip on a sun hoodie in an instant and get lasting protection. I got the REI store brand, which is around $50. Unfortunately, it looks like they're almost sold out of the nice visible orange color that I bought. It's only available in XXXL.
Gorilla Tape. The possible uses cases are endless.
Except no examples were provided. Don't leave us hanging, homie.
A Raspberry Pi.
Why would everyone need a pi?
A fire extinguisher
A good chef knife
Also makes and excellent chrismas/birthday present
