I wouldn't even consider that a luxury item. In cold climates, warm socks are required.
Wool ones specifically are far better than synthetic ones
They also keep your feet from stinking and stay warm even when saturated in water. Also, in the event of a fire or high heat, they won't melt and fuse to your skin causing catastrophic tissue damage
If you use your phone a lot (or if your battery is old and you haven't replaced it), a power bank is very useful.
A reputable powerbank (such as those from Anker) cost just under $20 USD for 10,000 MAH
It's worth it for other people too, the fun putting a "W" sticker in front of the logo is endlessly entertaining.

I like the way you think
A 10-foot USB cable. Most people use whatever's packed in with their electronics, and it's pretty rare to get anything longer than 6 feet. Having the extra length is really nice in many situations.
It's also one of my go-to inexpensive gifts or part of a care package for someone in the hospital. The extra length there is often the difference between being able to use a device while it's charging or not.
They're rare because 10 feet is too long for a reliable USB data transmission. But yes good for charging.
Eh, I have audio interfaces and MIDI controllers on 10ft cables cause shorter just don’t reach my PC, works perfectly fine. Longer than that is a gamble but as far as I know 10ft is the upper bound of the USB 3.0 spec, so should be totally fine unless you have especially shitty cables.
A cheap over shoulder satchel, it's like having a extra pocket always available
There are a few brands that make decent backpacks/satchels in the 10L - 20L size, within that price range. They're very helpful
I've got 6 or 8, take one everywhere, even if I already have my purse. I'm addicted to getting them at thrift stores. Just got a sweet, black, tacticool bag with molle loops and velcro for $1.
$20 can buy many peanuts.

Money is a thing that people agree has value and therefore can be traded for other things of value

I carry an arch lighter everywhere. It cost me $15 but saves me a ton in lighter fuel, and you'd be surprised by the number of every day situations that a controlled burst of plasma solves. Opening packages, lighting candles, kills mosquitos in the dark, and it's a fantastic taking piece as mine slots into a zippo.
Only downside is I can't use my zippo for light on the off chance I get trapped in a dark tunnel.

sudo pacman -S lighterFluffy stuffed animal. If I didn't have a couple stuffed kitties to hug I probably would have killed myself already. Nice to have something to pretend loves you
As someone who has no less than two dozen stuffies on the bed right now I can tell you they do love you because you love them.
Been spending about 16 hours a day here
