What would you spend £200 on?

[AmeliaranneStiggins]

My lovely parents have (most unusually!) given me 200 smackers for my birthday, with strict instructions to spend it on myself and not on the household. I have no idea what to spend it on. What would you buy?

Georg Jensen Offspring hoop earrings. I absolutely love them but absolutely can not justify the cost!

Or a pair of Ugg slippers. My favourite slippers in the world! Absolutely worth the money! Mine met a demise last night (glares at dog)

Botox!!!

Handbag?
Spa treatments?
Clothing?
Posh candle?

Weekend away, or jewellery if that is impractical. Maybe a nice watch.

Sensible = new glasses or new clothes
Total treat = long weekend to Brighton by myself to include trip to Lego Shop

Bottle of niche perfume or a barbour jacket for autumn. Lucky you!

A Roberts Radio

A night or two in a secluded air B and B by the sea with a beautiful book lovely food and a log fire. If he's good I might take DH. ( but probably wouldn't)

A pair of boots

Perfume.

Or a new wallet.

Or possibly some wellingtons I’ve seen that are to die for ...

Some new jewellery (I like the Carrie Elizabeth brand which is around that price point)

An expensive item of clothing which I wouldn't normally buy myself, like a new coat or boots

A fancy night away

A pair of good long leather boots for the winter!

A weekend in a Premier Inn somewhere nice.

A good hair cut. Or a night in a hotel and a massage. Enjoy - I am jealous!

Pair of jeans - £60 / £70
Go for afternoon tea with my DD - £30
Couple of nights out with friends - £100

A good quality coat.

Some gorgeous perfume.

New bras!

I would either get my hair done or buy a nice coat.

Right this very second? - I’d save it and put it towards a classic Burberry cashmere scarf, which is one item I definitely want for the winter.

Or, save it towards Daisy earrings by Georg Jensen.

Or save it towards a Mulberry bag I’ve got my eye on.

Or, if I was wanting to buy something straight out without having to save I would buy either a wool cape or a pair of good leather Chelsea boots, from somewhere like Barbour/Dubarry/Fairfax and Favor.

I just bought this coat which is beautiful:

There’s enough left in the budget for a good pair of shoes or a nice bag, too! But it really depends what you like, what you’ve already got, and if there’s something you’ve been hankering for at the back of your mind...

New biker boots for winter
Spa day or evening spa at Center Parcs
Some books that I want but can't justify buying because I have hundreds of unread books so only allow myself to buy them when 99p on kindle.

I don't have treatments at the spa, so the £200 should cover all that.

New winter boots
Books
Art supplies
Clothes

Clothes and a nice dinner out

Definitely a weekend away making memories 🥰

Some great ideas here! I do need a new coat and boots. But jewellery would be lovely, too...
