What to buy with extra money?

I got a surprise Xmas bonus from my job today. They sent me a $500 Visa Card. I'm trying to think what I want. I love my Michael Kors bag and love my jackets. Just got new boots too in the Fall as well as cute snow boots.

I don't always wear a ton of jewelry. I work part time from home so usually in cute sweats or comfy stuff unless I am really going out (not just running errands for school, playdates or shopping).

Need ideas what to buy? DH said get whatever I want.

I know if it was me, I would use it to go somewhere with DH. Maybe use it towards a hotel room and tickets to a show. Or a room at a spa/hotel and a couples massage. I'm less into bags and clothes then trips. Chat Icon

I would probably go to Lululemon.

I love their clothes and they are so comfortable. Since they re really expensive, this is. The perfect way to spend a five hundred dollar giftcard!

I was thinking that, but we are going to Aruba in Feb. Plus, we stayed at the Waldorf one night and had a bad experience with their hot water. I called to complain and they took too long to get back so bc of that they reimbursed us and we also are comped to come back and stay for a night. LOL! I haven't even thought or had time for that.

Re: What to buy with extra money?

If someone gave me $500 today I would buy:

1) A new perfume (the one I like is $65)
2) An hour massage (prob like $100)
3) The rest I'd probably save for a mini-spring shopping spree

Re: What to buy with extra money?

I have 3 different ideas of what I would do:

A) Get tickets to a Broadway play for DH and I. Then buy something nice to wear that night with whatever money is leftover.

B) Book a complete spa day: mani, pedi, massage, hair cut etc.

C) Shopping spree at Sephora! New make-up, Brushes, Perfume...everything!

Re: What to buy with extra money?

Do you want a new piece of jewelry? Could you use a spa day? Do you need any clothing or want a statement piece of clothing or shoes? Do have have an ipad? Do you need a new computer?

Put it away for a bit.

Spring/summer will be here soon enough and I'm sure there will be new stuff you want by then.

Since you don't have anything top of mind right now, I'd probably put it away for a bit. You will think of something soon :)

I'd go for a massage, a haircut, and some new clothes. Sephora shopping spree also sounds good.

Could also see enjoying an expensive dinner and fab bottle of wine.
