If you had £70 to spend on Amazon what would you buy?

I have £70 on Amazon vouchers to spend. I'd like to buy something nice just for me, maybe frivolous or a little bit luxurious. I know it's not a great deal of money but I don't want to waste it on boring sensible things! What would people buy from Amazon for £70-£100 (I can top up if needed)?

I have lovely design guitar picks on my list. not expensive per se, but I can't get myself to pay £20+ for picks. I need to remind my husband/son that my bday is coming...

Saltwater sandals. So incredibly comfortable and last for years.

I'd buy some nice toiletries that I wouldn't normally treat myself to - bath salts , body oil etc

I got a £50 voucher as a thank you from my boss in February and bought a heated blanket for the sofa and a couple of novels. The blanket sounds grannyish but is amazing! Was an absolute godsend when working from home and just so cost for snuggling on the sofa under.

If you love a good steak or a beautifully cooked bit of meat for a roast I would recommend getting an anova sous vide. Cooks amazing meat!

Or an oodie for the winter.

A dry robe is next on my list to buy though.

Gin and cookery books. Easy.

I’d wait until I wore out my current running shoes, and out it towards their replacements.

I bought an Oodie and it's amazing, easily the best thing I bought during lockdown.

We got a £75 voucher last year for some insurance or broadband switch or something. It went on:

A set of pans
Kindle books
A St Eval candle
A flapping toy fish thing for the cat, which she is terrified of

Levi jeans, (They are always reduced to around £50).
Smidge insect repellent. I totally love the smell of it and it works.
A tangle teaser hairbrush.

I would put it towards a robo vacuum. Best thing I ever bought!

NinaGonk · 13/08/2021 00:08

I think I'd get a waterproof bluetooth speaker so I can listen to podcasts in the shower.

And some quality toiletries with the change.

A new sieve litter tray for the cats. They are stupidly expensive.

That has really tickled me.

Why the ear plugs? Do you snore loud enough to wake yourself up when you drink?

prawntoastie · 13/08/2021 00:20

I just brought £70 or more worth of Amazon goods which were mostly to do with my dog

Air fryer
New nutribullet as mine is broken

I would buy another fountain pen. You can never have too many fountain pens.

TheSharpertheJuice · 13/08/2021 00:24

Supplies for my new rabbits- they’re expensive little blighters but I can’t stop buying them things!

And face balm and night cream as I’m running low.
