What would you spend £100 on (not bills etc).

I was gifted £100 with the insistence that it is spent on a treat. I feel that a keepsake would be nice as it is from a favourite aunt who is close to the end.

A watch.

SuperLoudPoppingAction · 24/01/2025 19:57

A nice fountain pen

Bobthepotplant · 24/01/2025 19:58

I'd probably buy a piece of jewellery. A pendant/necklace or really nice silver bangle. Depends if you wear jewellery though. Sorry to hear your Aunt is close to the end x

Personally I'd get a couple of video games and 2-3 audiobooks. But I'm not a fan of having more "stuff" in the house and prefer to spend on entertainment.

A nicely framed picture (print not original art).

Wishboneswishes · 24/01/2025 20:01

Etsy do some lovely personalised jewellery pieces which might be nice? Also quite inexpensive so a bit left over for a nice afternoon tea or something?

CloseYourRingStress · 24/01/2025 20:01

I’d buy a Trudon candle or some really nice body scrub or top up my cinema membership tickets.

Some florists do very nice dried bouquets, perhaps one of those with her favourite flowers or colours in? And there'd be some change for maybe a pair of earrings you could wear and think of her.

£100 doesn't go very far, but maybe a theatre ticket. With a glass of wine in the interval!

Cynic17 · 24/01/2025 20:05

Oh sorry - it needs to be something to keep.
A framed print?
A couple of hardback art books?

Middlemarch123 · 24/01/2025 20:09

A silver locket with photos of you and aunt in, something you can cherish.

AlexisP90 · 24/01/2025 20:11

A personalised piece of jewellery

MigGril · 24/01/2025 20:12

A lego set a really nice one.

Failing that I'd buy some expensive earrings.

OldTinHat · 24/01/2025 20:19

My DM gave me £100 for Christmas so I could get my stupid curly hair cut 😊

SquigglePigs · 24/01/2025 20:29

There is a local artist to me who does beautiful pictures. We have a few already so I'd either buy another one (or put the money towards one) or buy a nice piece of jewelry.

Tisfortired · 24/01/2025 20:30

An Olend bag and a nice lunch out by myself.

millfree · 24/01/2025 20:31

Luxury skincare, Art books, Vinyl, ceramics that kind of thing I guess.

Thighdentitycrisis · 24/01/2025 20:34

A tree

Luddite26 · 24/01/2025 20:41

I love gardening so it would be a good specimen shrub or Rose possibly with her name or nice pot I could look at and think of her. I have some wonderful named roses - Freddie Mercury, Hannah Cockcroft, Queen Elizabeth😄

MaryGreenhill · 24/01/2025 20:45

A bottle of Jo Malone Pommegranate noir ❤️

netflixfan · 24/01/2025 20:45

A beautiful pair of shoes which you would not normally treat yourself to.

BlueRobins · 24/01/2025 20:51

A model, but one you build, eg like airfix/ warhammer 40k etc

Snowmanscarf · 24/01/2025 20:52

A nice bracelet or piece of art.

frozendaisy · 24/01/2025 20:57

What do you like using OP?
Do you like making cocktails? Then a silver cocktail maker/ice bucket
Do you like jewellery? Then I am sure you know as have browsed at stuff before
Or a teapot?
Or a picture frame?
Or a carved wooden fruit bowl?
Or powder puff holder?
Or really good garden tools built to last, a spade, rake?

NordicwithTeen · 24/01/2025 20:59

Books, a magazine subscription and a plant/house or outdoor would do me!
