Mopads. Best thing I've added to my studio under $50. It's one of those things you might not consider buying for yourself (until you've experienced them) but if someone gave you a set as a gift, you'd really appreciate it. Once you have them, you won't live without them.

Cut up a piece of foam and you have it for free basically. I took a piece of foam out of a prop closet at the theater I work for and put that under my speakers. Don't pay for a MoPAD.
I'll take my Mopad anyday over a cut up piece of foam. It looks nicer and you can even angle the monitors down by rearranging the foam. Of course I guess you could use some bookmatches to prop up the back of the speaker so if that works for you too then skip the Mopads.

+1000..I used a few pieces of foam/hi absorbers and can even angle them, all you have to do is apply more pressure/push down real hard on the front of the speaker and it settles in to the foam o with a angle...I would NEVER pay for mopads..but thats just me, I am NOT knocking them, just prefer the DIY cost!!

I miss mine a lot.
My favorite gadget would be the Korg AW-2 tuner. Clips on anything, extremely accurate and fast and tuning guitars or other instruments between takes isn't annoying anymore.

Still have mine and it ROCKS for both bass and guitar. Nice as a table top within
arms reach when I'm recording if I need to tweek something. I think it sounds better
because it uses actual hardware for effects instead of the POD's way of running an
emulation. The chorus absolutely kills the Line 6 models.

I prefer my MoPad over any foam for a speaker isolation pad. It looks better, for me.
