Has to be non-essential, luxury item/s. Need to be able to buy online. Objects, not experiences.

Oh and no gifts. For yourself only.

Firestick. In fact i am just about to!

Normally I'm say I don't know though, if I want something I generally just get it (not talking about new car or house sums of money here) so find this sort of question very difficult.

My 14yo wanted to know what I'd spend £600 on the other day, and was very dissatisfied by my inability to answer.

I asked my mum and she said a new iPad. I said why don't you get one then (they have plenty of money and it wouldn't make any difference to them), she said maybe I'll have one for Christmas. I said why not your birthday (late summer)? She said maybe. All I could think was just get yourself a new iPad if you want one mum.

I fully appreciate that I and they are very lucky to be in this position.

I recent had a similar amount and bought some pearl earrings. Smile

I would spend £50 on a photo collage on canvas.

I have a £50 JL voucher and was planning to buy an Emma pillow. Until I saw they were half the JL price on Amazon! But my voucher is for JL, hmmm.

Stock up on a selection of some seriously nice loose leaf teas.

RuudGullitOnAShed · 02/05/2020 15:42

I'd put it towards some bone conductive headphones

Ylfa · 02/05/2020 15:43

Tequila

Fancy bottle of champagne
Luxury chocolates e.g. Godiva
New Havaiana flip flops for the summer
Jo Malone candle
Foot Spa
Silk nightie
Luxury Face Cream ....
Now I want to go shopping!

BriocheBriocheBrioche · 02/05/2020 15:44

Probably 2 pairs of sports leggings from Fabletics and then maybe a nice summery dress from somewhere like newlook/h&m

Shockers · 02/05/2020 15:44

Some Acai bike trousers.

ParkheadParadise · 02/05/2020 15:45

Jo Malone candle.

golddustwomen · 02/05/2020 15:46

Double wear and bronze goddess, would take me over the £50 though!
Or some nice hand cream and new books.

TokyoSushi · 02/05/2020 15:47

I recently bought a Scamp and Dude sweatshirt, it's lovely and was £50, over the last couple of days I've also bought some Joules slippers and some Wunderbrow. I'm also contemplating a salt lamp! 😳

Bobbiepin · 02/05/2020 15:48

Veg plants for the garden. The tomatoes did so well last year, I'd love to be able to plant again this year.

Badoukas · 02/05/2020 15:56

Wireless speaker

PurpleDaisies · 02/05/2020 15:57

Books.
Lots of books.

thegcatsmother · 02/05/2020 15:59

A couple of tops from Fatface or sewing stash.

SleepingStandingUp · 02/05/2020 16:01

Books and a bottle of prosecco to drink it with

TheHobbitMum · 02/05/2020 16:01

For me? D&D figures or miniature paints Grin

This has been in my basket for a a couple of weeks but can't justify it. Probably wait to get it for my birthday

HouseTornado · 02/05/2020 16:03

Perfume.

The one I love went through a weird rebrand, resulting in the price doubling...

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 02/05/2020 16:04

New trainers

SpaceCadet4000 · 02/05/2020 16:08

Garden stuff. Either plants or solar lanterns.

Ninkanink · 02/05/2020 16:08

Oh so many things...

Today, right now, I’d buy a Dior lipstick for £30. The £20 would buy a cross-stitch kit as I fancy something calming and relaxing to do during lockdown (plus it’ll make a good Christmas gift for my mum).

Tomorrow? Maybe put it towards another 100 stars dressing gown.

I could actually start up my fund for my next handbag (I keep spending so have saved precisely £0 so far).

Otherwise I’d quite like another MJ Daisy Perfume.
