Help me spend £30

Recently out of hospital after major abdominal surgery. Just starting to be mobile again.
Been sent a £30 amazon voucher for my birthday.

House already full of cake chocolate and flowers. And face creams.

Any ideas?

Hand and feet masks? Nice candles? One of those diamond paintings? Though be careful with your posture, hope you're feeling well.

Books!

Another vote for books! Or an audiobook, I find old favourites (often kids ones like Narnia or Harry Potter) comforting when I feel crap or can’t sleep. Audible do your first book free too...

Craft kit, like cross stitch or felting?

Thanks.
I've stocked up on audio books via the library. They've been a lifesaver this week.

When your voucher is finished, there are some great audiobooks on Youtube.

What about a lovely huge soft wrap / pashmina type thing for snuggling up on the sofa with whilst you recuperate with your audio books / chocolates and face creams - here are some more Flowers.

Maybe a £30 bargain clothing item, or some books, or a combination of both.

AdoptedBumpkin · 25/09/2020 14:38

Come to think of it - if you like second hand books, and you live near a good bookshop, you might be able to get several decent ones with cash to spare.

I agree with the pashmina idea or a lovely new cosy dressing gown and some warm socks.

PurpleDandelions · 25/09/2020 15:06

Thanks all. Still dithering.

A new perfume, always cheers me up.

Jigsaws
Colouring pencils & grown up colouring books

Gobelinoisawitchescat · 25/09/2020 16:32

Do you have a fire stick? You could either buy one - or if you have one, last time I got vouchers I used them to “buy” a couple of films from amazon.

Gobelinoisawitchescat · 25/09/2020 16:33

The rest went on kindle books!

wdub40 · 25/09/2020 17:07

Protein hair treatment, foot peeling socks, bamboo face cloths for double cleansing, bamboo cotton pads for eye makeup, Wet brush, Tangle Teezer

Nice pjs or warm dressing gown now that winter is coming; pillow.

Puppermint · 25/09/2020 18:57

If you like fresh coffee, maybe an aeropress? I love mine and use it every day. Feels like a real treat, especially at the minute when coffee out is so scarce.

StarDanced · 25/09/2020 19:01

A new dvd boxset for days when you don't want to be too mobile.

PurpleDandelions · 26/09/2020 09:37

Thanks all.
In the end I decided to combine the money with some other money to buy a piece of special jewellery to mark my life changing surgery. But soppy but it will make me happy for a long time.
