Help me spend gift cards

[Deleted]

So I just remembered I have about $150 worth of Amazon gift cards left over from the holidays.  They were all given with the expressed direction of "buy for yourself, not the baby". And for the first time in my life, I am blanking on what to buy for myself.  So give me some ideas ladies...

What are some of your hobbies?

Do you need clothes, Slippers, Make up, spa things?
like I love my heat aromatherapy neck wrap. (You heat it up and put it anywhere that hurts)

New phone case, Purse, Wallet, make-up bag. Sometimes the little things you see on a daily basis need replacing and it makes a difference to have something new

I buy "myself" cute coordinating clothes for my kids sometimes since it makes me happy. Especially since new clothes are less appealing while still losing baby weight.

Pajamas? A new sweater? Fancy tea/chocolate/coffee? A kitchen gadget like a waffle maker, panini press, or ice cream maker? New placemats/dish towels? Rain boots? Leather boots?

Or spend the Amazon cards on something you need (diapers?) and go on a date with your H.

Makeup bag! What a good idea. I actually really do need a new one, my current one is kind of sad. I was looking at clothes, but I almost never buy clothes online unless I know the brand fits me. I am tall and everything always seems too short.

I really want to get back into decorating/renovating our house so maybe I will get some design books or a magazine subscription. I basically own every kitchen gadget already, and my tiny rowhouse kitchen is bursting at the seams.

I could spend that in a heartbeat. I always have a running list of things to get off Amazon. Mostly diaper things.

I got an awesome robe for christmas from Amazon I live in. Here is my christmas list and I got everything but the serger from this list. - amzn.com/w/19XJH512TNFX8 Seriously that robe is so freaking comfortable.

Music and books!!

Shoes!!

Can you tell I am shoe whore???

I have the same dilemma, but my gift card is much more constricting, Amazon has so many options! I do tend to spend my personal money on clothes for LO, but also clothes for myself (Amazon has a pretty easy return process), shoes, or stuff for taking pictures of LO (backdrops, camera accessories, etc). Have fun!

I just bought myself new Bearpaws off of Amazon - great prices!

I got a Clairsonic brush for Christmas. It's amazing!

I will buy something for LO with a gift card and allow myself little treats over the next couple weeks. I will do this and not let myself feel guilty for grabbing Starbucks or picking up dinner because I saved when buying LO something. Does that make sense?

I was just going to say the same thing! If I use a gc on household items, I'll give myself permission to spend that amount of money on myself. So then I could go buy clothes or shoes and try them on.

So I am going to go with a new kindle, makeup bag and a subscription to HGTV magazine - because watching the channel exclusively apparently isn't enough for me.

Those sound like great gifts for yourself!
