    I would put it towards a new stand up paddle board. I want to get into racing, and my inflatable won't do for that.

    @MamaCate: I would get some birthstone jewelry for my DS! Play around on gemvara. It's addictive I really want a platinum diamond and citrine anniversary ring stacker by that's more than $500 unfortunately!!

    I'm in this situation and at a loss! So I'm waiting...

    The purse I want and jewelry I want are over budget - so no go...

    So I'm saving it for pp when I drop weight hopefully and need clothes...

    We just bought a new house, so probably some house decor items. Picture frames, wall art, things like that.

    Probably a couple pairs of jeans and a woven wrap and/or a wrap conversion. I love imagining what I'd do with extra money.

    New purse + massage/facial.

    Clothes and a spa day. I don't think I've ever had triple digits to spend on myself.

    Probably another lens.

    Since I've dropped way more than that on my crappy car in the past few weeks, this thread is fun for fantasizing!

    I'd go to a spa for:

    -hair trim & color
    -full body wax
    -massage
    -facial
    -mani/pedi

    I'm sure that would be over $500, but in this fantasy I got a great package deal, haha!

    I'd get a facial, and then spend the rest on GCs to some of our favorite local restaurants so that we can splurge on take-out a little more often now that I am back at work.

    I would probably put it towards a mother's ring. I have an April baby and am due in September, quite possibly the prettiest combo for a mother's ring

    Id get my hair done and buy a Tula. 😂

    Probably all on clothes and shoes. My wardrobe is so sad.

    Oh, I'm not sure. That's a lot of money to spend on myself. I would sell my iPad 16 gb and get an iPad with more storage.

    @tofuwad: I was thinking a Wrap conversion, too, but I recently got a WCMT. I think I need to sell some before I buy any more.

    I think I'd buy Chanel espadrilles because they're cute and versatile but I'd never ever buy them on my own.

    @MamaCate: do you have any hobbies? A few years ago we had some fun money from our tax return and I bought myself a sewing machine!

    @Mamaof2: I got a sewing machine for Christmas last year and have been working on pillow covers to match the new slipcover for the sofa since September...

    I am leaning toward breast milk jewelry of some kind, a mother's ring, some new clothes to celebrate being back to pre preg weight, and I am not sure what else...big decisions but fun to speculate on!

    Totally for fun for me: lunch + spa day
    More practical for me: AGL flats + new work clothes
    Practical: home repairs
