Just that really. It's a gift and I'd like to treat myself. Not sure what to though.

What don’t you have? Good boots? Good handbag? Leather jacket?

I’d get something that would last

bsc · 12/04/2019 18:11

A new bag, books, new trousers, maybe some new make-up (foundation, mascara) that I wouldn't normally buy because I can't justify spending money on myself.

Or a bass guitar and amp.

Or maybe a drum kit for me for my DS?

AlpacaPicnicc · 12/04/2019 18:11

Have boots, trainers, make up galore and lots of handbags.

I'm thinking! It's a very special gift so I'd like to get something really treat-y I think

A new handbag and purse set. If anything is left over I would like some perfume or a good moisuriser. I think I could spend the money with ease!

Moominfan · 12/04/2019 18:12

I'd treat myself to a massage. Books. Ticket to an event.

LesLavandes · 12/04/2019 18:12

A spa day?

StillRunningWithScissors · 12/04/2019 18:13

Kayak (would need to add some more to the pot)

Xenadog · 12/04/2019 18:14

A watch or piece of jewellery if you want it to be something to last.

BluishMoon · 12/04/2019 18:15

A spa day or night away

GimmeBread · 12/04/2019 18:16

Some really high end beauty products and make up. But with lots and lots of research first to make sure I didn't fall for any hype!

MordredsOrrery · 12/04/2019 18:16

Some more books, non-nursing bras for the first time in years, NT membership and a decent haircut since my hair is falling out Sad

in2dagroove · 12/04/2019 18:16

I recently had a similar mini windfall and used it to pay for a 3 month membership to local posh health & fitness centre. Spa & pool facility plus loads of different classes to kick off my fitness regime. Working so far .......

NorthernRunner · 12/04/2019 18:17

A really luxurious Mac (as in coat not computer)

Moominfan · 12/04/2019 18:17

Thanks mordrerds

MollysLips · 12/04/2019 18:17

Apple Watch

Redcrayons · 12/04/2019 18:17

Running watch or a weekend away with DCs. Probably the watch though.

Timewarpdancer · 12/04/2019 18:17

I would get
A massage £30
Car valet £50
Hair £70
New bag£100
And £50 worth of chocolate

Grumblepants · 12/04/2019 18:18

G tech air ram. But then I freely admit I need to get a life!

Lazybonita · 12/04/2019 18:19

I don’t need for much at the moment so I would probably go for a night in a really nice spa hotel.

ThatDeadlyJetty · 12/04/2019 18:19

A greenhouse.

AlpacaPicnicc · 12/04/2019 18:19

Some great ideas thank you.

And I love a good hoover! And love the spa day idea surprisingly
