For my birthday I got the HP a new battery and cord plus a book and a game. I also went ahead and got the Lenovo a new cord since they were so cheap. The battrery, though, was something like 30 odd and I didn't want to 'waste' the money at the time. Thus the game and book. </p> <p>For 50 I was able to get a new iPhone case, two books (one used, one new), two games (both used), a new Lenovo battery (going to be taking it vs the HP to school since its smaller), and silicone cupcake cups for lunches :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youve-just-been-handed-a-50-visa-gift-card#post-1833253 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 11:27:56 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1833253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For $50, I'd get books or maybe some shoes.<br /> For $250, I'd get a Fitbit and some boots.<br /> For $500, I'd probably replace all of our cutlery, dishes and drinking glasses. And maybe get a winter coat</p> <p>Wow. Am I super lame or what? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youve-just-been-handed-a-50-visa-gift-card#post-1833246 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 11:21:40 +0000 mrs. bird 1833246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Grizzly Bear: you must be a better shopper than i am because i just looked into changing the battery in my laptop, OUCH! it was more than i expected, but i think mac batteries tend to be $$ compared to some other brands :( </p> <p>for $50, i would get a groupon for someone to come deep clean my bathroom and kitchen (and whatever else they had time for amount), that would bring me joy for a long time! </p> <p>for $100, i would get a new disk off ebay for my car's GPS, mine doesn't work right now &amp; it seems stupid to spend the money for a new disk when i could buy a portable gps for less than the cost of the disk or just keep using waze in my phone for free, but i really miss the one in my dash. </p> <p>for $500, i'd get my legs lasered! not having to shave my legs again... that would be priceless :)</p> <p>ETA: i forgot $250! whoops! for $250 i would buy a new pair of boots and a new fall jacket, and if i was particularly thrifty &amp; had anything leftover, a pair of leggings </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youve-just-been-handed-a-50-visa-gift-card#post-1833239 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 11:14:11 +0000 fairy 1833239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$50 - New shoes :) I have been wearing the same sneakers since 2006 haha!<br /> $100 - I would preorder Hyrule Warriors for Wii U and then spend the rest on new sheets<br /> $250 - Fancy purse or boots? I resell luxury goods but I have just about none of my own hehe, that would make me feel special<br /> $500 - This would be really hard to spend on just myself!! Probably all of the above and then use the rest to pay for a few chiropractor visits :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youve-just-been-handed-a-50-visa-gift-card#post-1833236 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 11:08:59 +0000 Crystal 1833236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: that's my exact problem too! I have some decent work clothes, but no other types of clothes. </p> <p>@loveisstrange: I used to, and I miss it terribly. It was so much fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youve-just-been-handed-a-50-visa-gift-card#post-1833156 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 09:39:25 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1833156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love seeing what everyone would get!

I'm running low on outfits that are comfy but feel wasteful buying more when I only have a couple more months to go.</p> <p>$100: Makeup. I love splurging at Sephora, it's a very rare treat!</p> <p>$250: Some new bedding and decor items for our bedroom. The boys have such cool rooms, and ours is just a mish-mash and doesn't look good at all.</p> <p>$500: Some cool art for our walls, which are still far too bare considering we've been in this house for 2 years, and a coffee table - or more likely an ottoman that could double as a coffee table. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youve-just-been-handed-a-50-visa-gift-card#post-1833042 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 06:41:46 +0000 avivoca 1833042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$50: Fabric and notions to make a wool skirt for work.<br /> $100: see above, plus a new pair of jeans.<br /> $250: A new bedding set that I've been lusting over from Pine Cone Hill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youve-just-been-handed-a-50-visa-gift-card#post-1833028 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 05:01:49 +0000 jedeve 1833028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$50 - new jeans. The maternity ones are getting lose and the pre pregnancy ones don't come close to fitting. </p> <p>The only reason it's not underwear is because I just made a policy to throw out anything that is fraying or had holes in it. It's bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youve-just-been-handed-a-50-visa-gift-card#post-1833025 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 04:23:42 +0000 Kemma 1833025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$ 50 - Awesome maternity jeans!<br /> $100 - New sandals for summer<br /> $250 - Hair cut and colour plus a new nursing bra </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youve-just-been-handed-a-50-visa-gift-card#post-1833015 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 02:51:22 +0000 anonysquire 1833015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crap I can't think of anything. Maybe $50 of fabric to make Zuma a tent and some dresses. In a way that's for me. Kind of. I'm just going with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youve-just-been-handed-a-50-visa-gift-card#post-1833003 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 01:25:03 +0000 loveisstrange 1833003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: haha.

Like ridiculous. Since I am both trying to lose weight and get KU, I keep holding off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youve-just-been-handed-a-50-visa-gift-card#post-1832999 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 01:17:55 +0000 Crystal 1832999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clothes, clothes, clothes.

Seriously. That's all I've been thinking about while falling asleep the past two nights! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youve-just-been-handed-a-50-visa-gift-card#post-1832895 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 21:51:17 +0000 Arden 1832895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$50 - Sadly, bras and underwear. Mine don't fit my body right anymore. I think my shape has finally settled, so time for new stuff.</p> <p>$100 - Winter boots.</p> <p>$250 - Hardside luggage set. I've been wanting one for ages and ages. </p> <p>$500 - A newer iPhone (with a better camera) and give mine to DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youve-just-been-handed-a-50-visa-gift-card#post-1832892 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 21:44:33 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 1832892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$50 Probably some photography books and regular books</p> <p>$100 clothes</p> <p>$500 I could find a new lens in that range Im sure :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youve-just-been-handed-a-50-visa-gift-card#post-1832834 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 20:43:46 +0000 Mrsjets 1832834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few e-books probably. I'd like to buy myself a new pair of boots for winter but they're not out yet and will be more than $50 probably closer to $150 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youve-just-been-handed-a-50-visa-gift-card#post-1832830 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 20:41:07 +0000 cmomma17 1832830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sadly .... New underwear! :meh:</p> <p>ETA: $500 would definitely be a new computer for DH and I! Badly needed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youve-just-been-handed-a-50-visa-gift-card#post-1832785 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 20:10:06 +0000 Mae 1832785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh man... my first thought was a massage! I want far fewer tangible things. Hmmm... maybe another pair of yoga pants? Mine have seen better days and they see my ass EVERY day so I would certainly get use out of a new pair. If it was 100+ I'd maybe start buying some new nicer clothes. I sort of hate everything I have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youve-just-been-handed-a-50-visa-gift-card#post-1832780 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 20:06:10 +0000 Beebug 1832780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$50? New undies!!! My underwear drawer is in need of a serious update!</p> <p>$100 new running shoes (this wouldn't quite cover it, but still!)<br /> $250 would probably buy classes, like kettlebell class, bootcamp, etc for a solid amount of time!<br /> $500 iPad + case </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youve-just-been-handed-a-50-visa-gift-card#post-1832776 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 20:02:00 +0000 Boheme 1832776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clothes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youve-just-been-handed-a-50-visa-gift-card#post-1832772 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 19:56:48 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1832772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A new diaper bag/ purse! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/youve-just-been-handed-a-50-visa-gift-card#post-1832765 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 19:47:50 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1832765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>... and the only restrictions are that you A) buy something for yourself and B) it has to be something that will make you happy for more than a few weeks (not a mani/pedi, etc). So you go buy yourself... what?</p> <p>For me, it would be a new battery for my laptop, a few gently-used games and books, and a new iPhone case. What about you? What would you buy?</p> <p>What would you buy if it was $100? Or $250? Or $500! Lets share some dreams :) </p>
