So, happy mother's day to me, I have a $25 Amazon gift card burning a hole in my pocket. I am fighting the urge to spend it on something practical or on LO because I have been told that it is for me to get something *I* want.
Isn't that suppose to be easy?? Why isn't this easy??
What would you spend $25 on? I need suggestions because I just want to buy all the Peppa Pig books. All of them!

Resist the urge! I'd buy a nice beauty product that I would usually not splurge on.

Maybe a cute new pair of flip flops? If you're a reader you could do two months of kindle unlimited (and probably a peppa pig book!)

I won a $25 gift card from my realtor, and was going to stock up on more diapers before LO comes LOL. Lame. What about something for a hobby you have or have been thinking of trying? Yoga mat? Nice new water bottle for the summer? Books? I love putting puzzles together with DH, and may get a super hard one for us to try before baby gets here!

I need a new pair of easy to slip on sandals! Or shorts? Nursing Cami or a nude nursing bra. LOL

Makeup. In a hearbeat. Nothing makes me feel awesome fast like new, sassy lipstick.

@ZombieBullfrogHoller: get a really top notch travel mug you'd normally not spend $25 on!

I always do this with giftcards too! I would get myself a few fun books to read, or maybe put it towards a cute pair of sandals for the summer.

I'd get some books to read on vacation, but I'd also be tempted to get books for LO. I love reading with him.

I also got a little gift card to spend as I wish on mother's day. I'll be using it to get something for the kids that DH does not think is practical - we always get "sensible" stuff that's a good bargain, but this is one thing that I'd rather not save on and I don't feel like explaining to DH why

Capri leggings for summer
The new whole 30 cookbook
Mascara
Those are on my list!

I agree with something summery.
I need new shorts/leggings and flip flops.
So I would be buying some of that!
But really, whatever makes you feel good. Maybe a new decor item, book, movie, journal, shirt, necklace. Woohoo, have fun shopping!

@Mrs. Bee: Hhmm I'm super interested in trying this for acne scars. Have you tried bio-oil? I was using that, but haven't seen much results!

@dc yoga bee: no i haven't tried bio oil, but it has lightened up the brown spots under my eyes that formed after having kids.

Haha no advice, because my mom got me a $25 Amazon gift card for Mother's Day and I had the same problem. I caved and bought T two puzzles. I can never buy anything for myself!
