It wasn't a gadget, but we put a grocery bag dispenser on our wedding registry. We ended up getting it, and it was nice to have a good place to put them that was easy to grab them out as needed. Haven't used it nearly as much now that we are using reusable grocery bags, but it's still nice when I need to put a bag in my office trash can.
This has been good for us for a different reason. I'm not pathological, but I do have a tendency to keep "useful" things longer than needed. A grocery bag dispenser crammed tight is a decent agreed standard for "we have plenty of grocery bags."
Also not a gadget in and of itself, but I built a home assistant server and zigbee network with all kinds of automations for time based, motion or event activation. Makes me feel like I live in the future lol. But that wasn't exactly unexpectedly useful.
but does it dispense grocery bags?
It does not. Haven't found (or looked for) a gadget to do that for me lol
