A holiday - if everything else was in order - flights to somewhere lovely and far flung

If you don't need it to repay anything, I'd personally spend it on a holiday and maybe one thing for myself, like a PS5 game!

Disneyland Paris! 😆
New sofa
Carpet
Puppy

First things that come to mind

You could buy an 18ct Gold "Paperclip" Money Clip

High-end fashion houses like Prada or Tiffany & Co. occasionally release sterling silver or 18ct gold "paperclips" intended to be used as money clips. A solid gold version can easily retail for £1,500–£2,000.

It is a literal paperclip. The thing is, you are spending £2,000 on a device to hold your money, which, ironically, you no longer have because you spent it on the paperclip.

I’d be boring and overpay my mortgage or save. What a lovely thing.

If I didn't need it to cover debt or household needs, I would use it for an experience - a holiday or some tickets to a show and a weekend away.

Enjoy!

What are your priorities?
Do you have credit card debt or have you not had a holiday for 3 years?
or can you afford to fritter it away on a nice little YSL bag?
