If you had some spare money to treat yourself...

If you had some spare money to treat yourself... would you buy?

I've worked really hard at work and have a good bonus coming (around 6k before tax, much much less after tax).

Most of it will go into savings, but I was thinking of treating myself to something nice before putting the rest away.

What would you buy?!

A holiday

I think I would go away somewhere too.

I'm getting braces and tooth whitening, does that count.

I need some good jewellery.

Go to Thailand and enjoy every minute x

Put it towards my car fund

I bought myself a Nordic track elliptical. Probably not what you’re potentially considering though. … but a treat for me nonetheless the less.

A piano - I have a really good electric one but it’s not the same 🎹

A nice piece of art.

Definitely teeth whitening I would do

a really good facial and massage

a slap up meal out somewhere really nice that I never go to usually.

a new outfit I wear

a night in a nice hotel with dh,somewhere with a good restaurant a stones throw away

and save the rest

Either a sofa or a walk in chicken run.

Lego botanics Japanese maple bonsai kit. The colours are gorgeous. I'd love the Botanical Garden set too, but the former is more displayable.

Loads of books

These are all such good ideas, the chicken run one made me smile!

We already have holidays for the year sorted but the savings pot is actually to go towards a more exotic break maybe over Christmas or Easter 2026.

Teeth whitening is a possibility! The books we have a lovely swaps library at work that keeps me occupied.

Nordic track would be a dream! We have an old reebok treadmill at the moment which does it's job but something more substantial would be amazing but won't fit our tiny house.

A piano 😍 i have a roland electric piano and absolutely dream of the space for a real one, I'm too shy to play it unplugged though 🤣

a Thai Constellation monstera. Monsteras are the only house plants I seem to have any luck with, but the variegated ones are £££ and i can’t justify it. I’d spread the love by propagating a few babies for my friends, though.

i spent £3.5k of an inheritance on Invisalign and don’t regret that for a moment; not only are my teeth in the right place now, but it got me into a much better brushing/flossing routine.

Any of..

A (more pumped up) holiday

Teeth fixed

eyes lasered

a great piece of art

a good piece of jewellery

taking my sister away for the weekend in addition to the above

Hmmm - if there’s no debt anywhere to pay off, I would pick one of these:

A Radley handbag and purse (insert your own designer obviously).

a luxury spa day with massages

some nice new clothes - things that aren’t for daily essentials

robot vacuum cleaner with port where it all gets emptied etc.

iPad.

who am I kidding though - I’d end up with all sorts of random crap that I “need” off Amazon!

Enjoy treating yourself

I’d treat myself to hiring a cleaner to buy me some time to myself on a regular basis.

A beautiful bunch of faux flowers that look real

Bosch dishwasher
Robovac thingy
Airfryer
Slow cooker
Mini microwave

There’s a theme

Go to Thailand and have a good time!
