MissScripture Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 So, my husband got a bonus at work and wants me to use some of the money to buy myself something. But idk what I want. He said it can't be anything I need, it needs to be something fun. If you had $100 to spend on anything, what would you buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilllabettt Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 i'd buy a newspaper subscription - Sunday new york times, something like that. Pure frivolous pleasure in weekly doses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) You can choose from two broad categories - something permanent or something consumable. Something permanent and indulgent would be jewelry - a nice pendant, or earrings, or whatever. If you buy it now, it will always remind you of the year Peanut was born. Now for consumables. As popular as CHOCOLATE is on this board, I doubt you'd want $100 worth of chocolate (although I've been wrong about bigger things than that!). I will recommend an idea stolen from a friend of mine; when she has a baby, her mother-in-law takes her out for a 'spa day' kind of thing - hair styling, nails, massage, followed by nice lunch. My friend [b]loves[/b] this tradition because it makes her feel like she's recovering from the inconveniences & discomforts of pregnancy. Think for yourself, but those are my suggestions.

rhetor4christ Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I like the idea of a spa day. So relaxing! I've seen a recent trend of mothers wearing necklaces that have their child's name on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i<3LSOP Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I would invest in chocolate. No so seriously I think for me I'd get an ipod... or a pretty writing paper set so that when I write friends and nuns I'm not using boring lined paper. Or you could buy diapers for John Paul.

Ed Normile Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 You could just send it to me and recieve the experience of the joy of giving, or you could just take your hubby out to a nice restaurant and have a great evening together. ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I love you, LSOP, but please, MS, don't buy diapers! One, I know (from being a total creeper on the RSH thread) that you are using cloth, and two, I'm of the opinion that new moms absolutely deserve a little self-indulgence. You'll be buying stuff for John Paul for the next 18+ years. That being said, Luigi is a genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using cloth, I find some really, ridiculously cute diapers. I get really excited about what goes on my baby's butt to catch his poo. One thing I might get is this: [url="http://www.amazon.com/Parents-Need-Eat-Too-Nap-Friendly/dp/0062005944/ref=wl_it_dp_o_npd?ie=UTF8&coliid=I8YIYOEL4HKWY&colid=1RZ73GN4M3K0Q"]http://www.amazon.com/Parents-Need-Eat-Too-Nap-Friendly/dp/0062005944/ref=wl_it_dp_o_npd?ie=UTF8&coliid=I8YIYOEL4HKWY&colid=1RZ73GN4M3K0Q[/url] since I've discovered it's really hard to eat when there isn't someone else cooking it for me.But that still leaves me quite a bit of money.

Lil Red Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 [right]do you have a place that does meals for you? like you go choose different menu items and they make it up, then you can pick it up and freeze it or eat it?[/right] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
