My hammock gear pillow. I love it. I used my stuff sack for many years but the older I get, the more luxuries I like.

AeroPress coffee maker. I just don't function without a cup of coffee, and it's one thing that I'm particular about. I'll occasionally tote my camera gear which adds considerable weight, but I consider that more the "purpose" of those trips and, as such, not a luxury item.

No matter where you go...There you are..
Spiced rum and some real food. Nothing better than a steak.
I frequently take bacon and eggs for the first breakfast.

Agree 100% on the steak and bacon. We bring Ribeyes and potatoes for the first night and enough eggs and bacon for 2 or 3 mornings, and some frozen cornish hens to keep it cold. Toting the extra weight in a canoe isnt to bad...except on the portages.
A bunch of packets of Starbucks French Roast Instant Coffee- almost as good as a real cup of coffee but way easier than dragging a coffee making set-up
My camp chair is my hammock....or a rock
There was an Old Man with a owl,
Who continued to bother and howl;
He sat on a rail, And imbibed bitter ale,
Which refreshed that Old Man and his owl.WOO
That was a big reason for me to get into hammocking in the first place. But then I realized I also needed a chair for something to move around the fire - out of the way of smoke and to keep my gear away from flying embers. It's nice to sit close for cooking, warming up or drying gear. Also something to carry on short hikes away from camp like a lake or high point to watch a sunset.
A Ther-A-Rest Z-seat pad. Very lightweight and makes sitting and relaxing that much better.
