I’ve had my bifold “Big Skinny Wallet” for 7 years with daily backpocket use and it has no signs of breaking down. It is not buy it for life, but despite what the name of this sub is, this sub is also for good value products(shout out r/goodvalue). I think these wallets fit your criteria, check them out.

If you've ever heard him say it has a 3 way Solenoid/valve it's one of the pre 2009 ones. (also notably to anyone else reading this they do make 3 way solenoid ones new they're just called the gaggia classic pro now instead)

Look up phones that are a generation or two out of date.
Last gen Samsung or pixel. Something like that.

Does Zephyr work well in puddles, creeks, mud and snow? It gets pretty wet for a good 6-9 months here in Luxembourg. Fields and woods are also wet from the dew in the morning. My dog and us get pretty dirty from outings. I need something that keep my feet dry and easy to hose down mud.

I had a SanDisk clip that I liked a lot. I used it in the gym and running because it was tiny and didn't bounce around and need thoughtful concern like a phone.
But anything with a battery is inherently not BIFL. But I certainly got my money's worth.

Reply to Ergonomic Office Chair by FriscoJanet
Knowing your budget would be helpful, they get pricey pretty quickly. I bought a Steelcase Think chair a couple years ago and I love it. Very comfortable, lots of adjustments (armrests adjust up/down and slide forward/back) and it’s held up great so far. Replaced a generic $150 chair I’d had for several years which squeaked a lot. But I work from home and my company offered a discount so I was willing to spend a fair amount.

Trendyol is a Turkish online retailer that sells everything from thousands of different vendors. I have bought a ton of stuff through trendyol, no problems, but there is no specific quality guarantee. Depends on the vendor.

I’ve worn Lowas for years. High country hunting/backpacking. I’ve tried many other brands and nothing (for me) is better. However, I’ve found the Renegades to be the least comfortable of those that I have. For me, the Zephyr is by far a more comfortable boot. It comes in a GTX model so waterproofing isn’t an issue. I also have the Camino GTX, but it is a little heavier boot for more extreme terrain.

I have an old feather duvet for the top of the bed. It keeps the rest of the sheets and blankets in good shape

Herman Miller chairs can last a lot longer than 10yrs. You can get replacement seat pads and other parts. We bought a pair 9 years or so ago. One has had a new seat pad the other is as-new. Not really any different now to when new.

yeah I've had mine for about 5yrs now, sure there's a bit of lint, but otherwise it's as good as new.

Get him an adapter for bb2590s.

Power banks die or get broken. They have limited charge, then no way to recharge them in the field. These things are durable, and there is almost always a charged bb2590 laying around.

If you have Amish or Hutterite communities near you it may be worth it to buy from a person or community instead of a company. My Dad spent a nice chunk to buy my Mom a Hutterite down duvet and pillow in the 90’s and she’s still sleeping under it. The craftsmanship can’t be beat.

And the 2009 model gaggia's are the worse ones where they replaced the 3 way solenoid valve even then 250 is still a decent deal.

They're good boots. I like the wide toe box and their rubber is equal to the vibram in Merrells, in my experience.
Their leather is well stitched and, as I said, bomb proof. Again, from my experience.
