To ask you how I can treat myself

So I am finally in a position where I can afford to treat myself every one or two months. I feel like I just don't know how to do that!
My budget is not huge but I can spare £2-300 for an activity or whatever around 7-8 x per year.
Any ideas would be hugely appreciated. So far...I have looked at cookery classes - how to make pasta / ceramics classes...any other ideas?
TIA

Best seat in the theatre for a show you really want to see, starring actors you admire.

Same, with any bands or musicians you love.

Spa day at a truly luxurious place

Other craft classes: basketry, weaving, tapestry, dressmaking, upholstery

Sign up for a term or two of creative writing and start a novel!

Wardrobe overhaul, maybe with a personal shopper or stylist to help you develop a more distinctive look that feels empowering

A night or two away somewhere nearby that you've always wanted to explore, in UK or Europe. I've always wanted to go to Whitby when the steampunk crowds are there, listen to ghost stories, visit the abbey. That sort of thing (or the opposite, depending on what you love)

Sign up for a book festival or music festival weekend in a genre of writing or music that you love. I went to Harrogate Crime Festival alone once. It was such fun. Met people I'm still friends with years later.

Search for and buy objects that create focal points in your home. I have a bit of an obsession with these. A really stunning table lamp on an antique or ultra modern desk with perfect coffee cup, notebook and pens or beautifully bound novel by an author you love. Or a really soft thick throw and cushions on the sofa, for quiet nights in watching classic films or box sets.
