Sorry. Not meant to be goady. I know this is a first world problem.

I have no ideas.

A fancy sex toy. (Seriously, why the hell not?)

Lllot5 · 06/04/2020 18:14

Jo Malone perfume, a piece of jewellery, something ornamental either for inside or the garden?

Hadjab · 06/04/2020 18:18

Diptyque perfume or candles

DowntonCrabby · 06/04/2020 18:23

I’d buy a jo malone candle, some hotel chocolat treats and a lovely bottle of red wine but I appreciate I’m an absolute cliche!!

undercoveraessedai · 06/04/2020 18:25

Books and chocolate and a couple of those really expensive but gorgeous magazines like Flow 😍

aprilshowers2015 · 06/04/2020 18:27

If you're a jewellery person then head to the Missoma website. I can lose hours on there wishing I could justify the cost Smile enjoy spending OP!

CheshireDing · 06/04/2020 18:27

Sandals or a cashmere jumper (they’re always so expensive I can’t bring myself to spend that normally)

DysonFury · 06/04/2020 18:28

I've bought an immaculate pre loved Mulberry handbag and a vintage opal ring for about the £100 mark since lockdown began. My mental and physical health ars shite and the odd treat really helps. Also I'm spending next to nothing on life atm.

DysonFury · 06/04/2020 18:28

£100 ish each.

Sonders · 06/04/2020 18:30

I think I'd spend it all on fancy yarn and make a giant cardigan. Then I get a treat and something that will kill the infinite indoor time I suddenly have!

Ginnyrellas · 06/04/2020 18:32

I’d spend it on a subscription to something like glossy box. So you have a rainy day suprise every month!

AmelieTaylor · 06/04/2020 18:33

@Tiredoutteacher2020 🌷I’m with you!

@OhioOhioOhio. If your inclination is Rainy Day fund, why are you feeling pressured to spend it?

If you really want to spend it...it’s hard to say without knowing what you like & do/don’t have 🤣

Me - if it was a spend it or lose it offer...

As nice a throw/blanket as I could find. Something soft but warm like cashmere, but not sure I’d buy it without being able to feel it.

OR

A nice book
A mason mixing bowl
Garlic press
Mandolin
Couple of other small kitchen bits

OR

Yarn. - no project in mind, I just love yarn! 🧶

I’d have no problem spending it many times over 🤣

Becles · 06/04/2020 18:36

@DysonFury

Where did you buy from please?

rosegoldivy · 06/04/2020 18:37

@paintedfences that Might come in handy if OP needs to self isolate 😂

LakieLady · 06/04/2020 18:39

I'd wait till lockdown ends, and treat myself to a facial and a massage.

Apirateslifeforme · 06/04/2020 18:39

Hotel chocolat velvetiser.
It's the best gift I may have ever received.
I get to enjoy a sachet of hot chocolate every so often and it really does feel like such a luxury.
The start kits have 2 boxes of drinking chocolate and 2 mugs too
Hope you enjoy

YukoandHiro · 06/04/2020 18:56

Fancy loungewear to get you through lockdown

Utilityroomenvy · 06/04/2020 18:59

An Aerogarden! I have had mine for over a year and it is growing lettuce, parsley, basil and cherry tomatoes for me at the moment.

Bluewavescrashing · 06/04/2020 19:01

A lounger type chair for the garden (if you have one)

Winter2020 · 06/04/2020 19:08

a fitbit?

If you have a keyboard or piano and would like to learn to play a years subscription to the "simply piano" app

If you have a guitar and would like to learn to play a years subscription to "Yousician"

Ohdearymeshame · 06/04/2020 19:11

My name and address are for sale for £100 Wink

If not to your fancy, then definitely some posh perfume

Jo Malone is vary naice

Takingabreakagain · 06/04/2020 19:13

A subscription to a magazine - not just a one-off treat.
