I have a good set of cast iron and steel pans, a dutch oven, and some decent knives. Those get me through a vast majority of my cooking. The rice cooker and blender see a decent amount of action, but the rest of the gadgets just take up space.
I also really enjoy all the parts of the process, from prep work to plating, so maybe this conversation is more about fulfillment. If someone doesn't like cooking, then gadgets can let them spend less time doing it. If I want to make a beautiful roast or extravagant brunch, my time spent doing it is worthwhile to me.
I bought a different brand of massager, for massaging, and it works really well for loosening tight muscles and easing pain. Highly recommend getting one.
It did come with some attachments that seem tailored to groin muscles, but those can live in the junk drawer.
And yes, everyone who sees it in my house makes a joke about using it to whack-off, but I have no problem with that.
