For men: A beard trimmer is one of my favorite cheap buys. Never shave again: http://www.amazon.com/Remington-MB4040-Lithium-Rechargeable-Mustache/dp/B005PUZZR8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1395896179&sr=8-3&keywords=beard+trimmer http://www.amazon.com/Remington-MB4040-Lithium-Rechargeable-... Beyond that, I'd say the aeropress coffee maker: http://www.amazon.com/Aerobie-AeroPress-Coffee-Espresso-Maker/dp/B0047BIWSK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395896241&sr=8-1&keywords=aero+press http://www.amazon.com/Aerobie-AeroPress-Coffee-Espresso-Make...

I have that exact trimmer. It plucks almost as many hairs as it cuts. I keep meaning to write a sardonic review of it but never get around to it.

  I use a Gillette Fusion Proglide which is a normal (4-blade) razor that also vibrates. It's the best shave I've ever gotten. http://www.amazon.com/Gillette-Fusion-Proglide-Power-Razor/dp/B003987CL0 http://www.amazon.com/Gillette-Fusion-Proglide-Power-Razor/d...

The aoropress is great, but I do find the price of the paper pretty annoying. I've now switched to one of the many metal-filters, which makes me happier.

  The official filters are $2.99 for 350 on Amazon, so 0.85 cents per filter (for up to 4 cups). $2.99 for a year's supply seems pretty reasonable to me.

    Your volume is off a fair bit for us. Assuming you don't reuse them my wife and I will make 8-12 cups a day, which means 350 will last for around 35 days. Or basically a month. Additionally the filters cost £3.99 as "add ons" at Amazon.co.uk, or £6.99 when purchased alone. So trade-off is clear one metal filter costs the same as two packets of papers. (Yeah, tried to persuade my wife to recycle, but she preferred the simplicity of pushing out the puck into the bin, so that was a losing battle.)

      I love my Aeropress, but I keep myself to two cups a day and my wife doesn't drink coffee. Sounds like you guys would be better off with something that made a "pot". Like a large Chemex or something.

        In terms of volume, yeah. But the per-cup brewing being so fast and easy actually works really well for us. (Large pots tend to get burnt..)

I was going to say AeroPress! The most amazing way to make coffee. So I will add if you have an AeroPress you should get a temperature controlled water warmer and Blue Mountain coffee.
