How would you spend a $150 Amazon gift card?

NYC Susan — Thu, 05 Mar 2015 05:13:39 GMT

I am the lucky & happy recipient of a $150 Amazon gift card, and I don't know what to do with it! I love Amazon, and I know they have everything, but that just makes it harder. :-)

I would love some suggestions. What would you do if you had this to spend?

Thanks to all who respond.

Well, you could always start with an Amazon Prime membership, just in case.

I order teas, cat litter, supplements, cat toys, office supplies, and miscellaneous things from Amazon.

We don't do a lot of outside decorating, but we do have a pole to hang large banners/flags from so I would buy some banners that celebrate the seasons.

Do you like to read? DH is an avid reader and I get some of his books from Amazon.

I love to read, and books are actually the first thing I thought of.

But I think I'd like to go for something bigger, something that would feel more special since I buy books all the time.

Amazon is great for books! Thanks for the suggestion.

That's a great idea! I wouldn't have thought of that. I will definitely consider it.

Thanks so much!

Another great suggestion, but I already have a Kindle. And I love it too! I wasn't sure how much I "needed" it, but now I don't want to be without it. One of my favorite things!

I would defer to my wife and let her spend it however she wished.

If there wasn't something I specifically wanted, I would probably use it for books for my Kindle.

I would put it toward freshening up my new Spring wardrobe. Shoes, a bag....pretty dress, or accessories. Transitioning out of winter certainly gives me a lift!

Is this a trick question? Amazon sells everything in the entire world. How could choosing something you want be hard?

No, not a trick question. I know that Amazon sells everything - That's what makes it hard!

In a good way, of course. :-)

Thanks to everyone who has replied. I'd love more suggestions too!

I need a new floor steamer, an electric skillet, and a new tablecloth.

I would put every cent of it in my Kindle account,as I read 2-3 books a week.

Thanks, everyone!

I appreciate all the book/Kindle suggestions, but I typically buy a lot of books & e-books. So I'm looking for something a little more special, something I normally wouldn't buy.

Books are the first thing I thought of, though! I've been an avid reader my entire life.

Just being your usual pleasant self again. Mean and nasty are only two adjectives I will use to describe you. Do you get a thrill out of acting like a brat?

OP, they have some neat things like Nest candles which are a treat. I hope you have fun shopping.
