Tell me what to treat myself to?

My granddad has given me a credit card to spend money on myself, it has £500 limit on it and I am allowed to max it out if I want to.

But I don't know what I want! I am not allowed to spend any of the money on my DD (aged 3) as I spend any spare money on her as it is.

So what do I want?

I like gadgets but already have amazon echo dots in living room and kitchen, I also like Sims 4 and have most of the expansion packs for that but don't get much time to play it as DD has SN so spend a lot of time sorting her out (I am an LP). I like cats (hence the username), wax melts and chocolate.

I also have a cat who I am allowed to spend money on too.

I don't want to spend a huge amount as it's a lot of money, but granddad says it needs to feel like a treat and a bit of luxury.

Why has he given you a credit card and not just £500? So he can see what you buy I guess?

A fitbit, one of the fancy ones like the Versa?

I’ve just treated myself to a huge Hotel Chocolat advent calendar. It’s £68, but code Halloween9 will get you 9% off

MIL gave me and DH £500 each the other day from an inheritance pay out with the express wish that none of it is spent on the children. We've bought a new fridge freezer and a new large Kallax unit for the living room jointly and new clothes and shoes individually. We have a decent amount left for a posh meal out on our next date night and a bit for some little bits each.

A beautiful bean to cup coffee machine.
Obviously this is only a treat if you like coffee!!

You need an Apple Watch and you'll still have some left over for your headphones.

No it's so that if my cousins/brother ask where the money is he can show i'm "paying it back" even though I won't be

Ooh, I'd buy the jo loves advent calendar that I'm eyeing up & some jewellery & an annual audible subscription. I like this thread. And a latex pillow!
