£200 to treat myself

It's been a really difficult few months and my lovely mum gave me £200 today with the instructions that it must not go on bills, the house or the kids. I have to 'treat myself'
It's been so long since I've had cash to just squander on myself that I have no idea what to get. I get everything second hand and not a huge clothes person. I could do with a new purse but could never spend such a huge amount on something like that.
If you had £200 just for you, what would you buy?

Spa Day or expensive wellies

Hair cut, facial, full body massage and nails.

I couldn’t spend it on One Thing. I would probably get:

Naice snacks from M&S
Slippers
A candle
Bath stuff
Books
Maybe a magazine subscription
Journal

I'm not sure but just came here to say what a kind mum. Do you wear second hand clothes? Sorry just asking out of curiosity.

While the sales are on I'd blow most if it on a good coat, and then a purse.
Both will last you years and you can think of your Mum's kindness and very time you use them.

How about a lovely spa day with lunch included?

I wouldn't rush to buy the first thing that took my fancy I'd have a good look around and probably wait till new spring / summer collections came to the shops which will be soon
