Just that. The site is vast and I am not a gadgets person... help!

Amazon sell nearly everything. What are you interests?

I would put it towards a new camera lens or filters for my camera.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 15/01/2022 13:22

I could easily find books and/or dvds up to that value Smile

CarlatheJackal · 15/01/2022 13:25

I like old books and quirky furnishings, which I don't think Amazon would have.

Camera stuff is actually a nice idea. My camera broke a few years ago, so I could probably get a nice little point and shoot job for that amount.

What DVDs do you like, Grumpy? I'm spoilt as Sky Arts shows a lot of the opera/ballet type things I'd otherwise buy, so I have heaps off them recorded on the black box thing already

What DVDs do you like, Grumpy?
A wide variety from trashy sci-fi to the art film/opera end as well.

I'm of an age where I prefer my own media based copy of something I will rewatch. Grin

I would probably be boring and buy household stuff I need and then put the money that they cost aside and use if for a night away

glasshalfsomething · 15/01/2022 13:36

Audible subscription. Light bulbs.
A wake up light or really nice alarm clock.
Fancy toiletries.
Thermal socks
Instax camera film

I would just stick the money on my account and spend it on house 'stuff ' like laundry detergent, dishwasher tablets etc and spend the money elsewhere.

Accidentgirlfriend · 15/01/2022 15:43

Heated throw £55

duvetdayforeveryone · 15/01/2022 15:48

Amazon home handmade items (So they say)

Blossom64265 · 15/01/2022 15:48

If something exciting doesn’t strike your fancy, just use it to restock on basic household items. I get with boring things like trash bags, shampoo, and dental floss delivered all the time. You cash then take that money from your bank account and spend it anywhere.

girlmom21 · 15/01/2022 16:14

I'd start Christmas shopping

IWentAwayIStayedAway · 15/01/2022 16:21

Im lusting after those shower things that stick to wall and hold all the shampoo, etc. Great reviews but 45 pounds

Chasingsquirrels · 15/01/2022 16:44

I just put Amazon gift cards onto my account and spend them as I go along, they have a 10 year life.

We've been in the ONS covid survey and until recently I've had £75 of Amazon gift vouchers (giving the kids cash for theirs) every 4 or 5 weeks since Apr 2020, and currently have a balance of only £11, so it's all gone somewhere!

SleepingStandingUp · 15/01/2022 16:45

Good shopping then give yourself the money in cash?

SleepingStandingUp · 15/01/2022 16:45

*food

ConsuelaHammock · 15/01/2022 16:50

Just add it to your account and use it as and when it’s needed. Buy yourself something you really want with the money. Don’t buy something just for the sake of it !

hedgehogger1 · 15/01/2022 16:51

Bit niche but there's a lot of hedgehogs visiting my garden recently and I want to get them a nice house :D

Brogues · 15/01/2022 17:22

I had a £50 voucher and spent it on a beanie hat (which is in limbo at the moment), Nuxe Neroli body oil and a lifting strop for aerial hoop Grin

pinkcattydude · 15/01/2022 17:30

I’d buy a new office chair as that’s what I’d currently love, one with a high back and maybe a footstoolGrin

NuffSaidSam · 15/01/2022 17:45

There's a couple of books I want and a weighted blanket. I'd just leave the rest for when something came up that I wanted, you don't have to spend it straight away.

GinF1zz · 15/01/2022 17:50

Have you got a pet? You could bulk buy pet food and buy yourself something nice from another shop with what you'd otherwise spend elsewhere.

mdh2020 · 15/01/2022 17:52

A piece of jewellery or your favourite perfume. If you like reading it would pay for a few books on Kindle.

Wow! How did you get signed up for that?!
AlphabetStew · 15/01/2022 18:11

Cardi-coat, waterproof boots, books.
