Can you please list completely frivolous things you'd like..

[Tracy]

I got some money for my birthday and haven't spent it all. I've been instructed to use it for things I *want* and not things I might need (Like dinnerware! Things for the house etc..) I can't seem to do that very well. I bought myself a new pair of shoes :loveit:

If you had a few hundred bucks to spent on something you WANT, what would it be? Or would it be multiple things?

Help me spend my cash!

Tracy

[darcy]

New Tattoo! That would probably be my first choice. After that, clothes, shoes, massage, pedicure, getting my hair professionally cut and colored, new music, concert tickets... I could keep going, I like frivolous things. :p

[Brenda]

Specialized bread making supplies like bannetons, couches and pullman pans.
a digital candy thermometer
shrubs or trees
an I-touch

[mudcreekmama]

Etsy for a bunch of little things - felt hairbands and aprons, and gocco prints, and this wall decal for my bedroom - in white - http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10710400

Clothes, almost everything I own is too big. And I'd be checking out craigslist for new (to me) living room furniture.

[MamaAnnie]

A shirt from a girl in town who has a business custom-making clothes, a pair of dressy sandals for summer or a new pocketbook. Have fun!

A load of dirt, and lumber for a raised bed in my backyard

I'm glad I'm not the only person on Earth who would like a load of dirt.:p

[sarahs]

Anything cashmere. Plants and statuary for my garden. Really nice windchimes. (nt)

Well....I was at a friend's house the other day and she had a HOT WATER DISPENSOR in her sink. You got boiling water! I would so love that. But then I decided it couldn't be energy efficient to have a small tank of water boiling all the time.

Now if someone wants to convince me that it is energy efficient and actually a good idea, I'm open to hearing about it.

[libbylibbylibby]

Is saving it for something you might want later an option? Because I would want to be able to do that (can you tell I haven't spent my birthday gift book money yet?)

[gfrach]

Oh, currently it would be accessories for my camera. (I'm sooooo lusting after a good macro lens!)

Few hundred? I'd go to a beach.

I have one and I just love it!! When dh mentioned getting it I was like "eh, I could take it or leave it" but now that I have it I just LOVE it. Hot tea is about 30 seconds away. I use it to warm up the ice cream scoop.

I have no clue if it is energy efficient or not and the tank is not all that big.

But since I have one I'll never not have one!!

[Mumbly]

I might have my legs waxed and a pedicure as many times as I could throughout the summer or I might buy a camera or an ipod. Clothes are always good, especially shoes.

I don't know about the ones with a tank, but when/if ever we build a house DH wants instant hot water at all the taps. It heats the water at the tap with a special device installed behind the scenes. It is supposed to be more efficient than keeping hot water in a huge tank all the way across the house (or wherever your hot water heater is) that has to travel to it's destination losing it's heat while doing so - you also don't get the huge amounts of cold water wasted before it turns hot. It heats water as needed, where needed. Pretty cool.. uh.. hot! :loveit:

[lisabelle]

iPhone.

[Sarah]

Levenger. I'd totally cruise levenger.com

[mudcreekmama]

OMG Sarah! Levenger is seriously pornographic!!! I actually drooled when I saw the laplander.

[sarahrose]

A pedicure (I haven't had one since Gabriel was a few weeks old, yes, he is almost 5 now)

Some funky jewelry (maybe a chunky necklace and a few pairs of earrings)

Really cool flip flops that are NOT from ON.

A summer dress

A new white button down shirt (again not from ON)

New tank tops that are a little different than my standby (you guessed it from ON)

A really good bottle of Vodka

Pricy shampoo from my hairdresser

Fancy lotion from the fancy store in town

New makeup from a dept store counter (or from a salon/dayspa)

Is it terrible that all my frivilous things are somewhat apperance related (well, except for the vodka lol)? I'm really feeling little in a rut lately. And I have spring fever. I am ready to get out of winter clothes and into some cute spring things.

[Kathy]

A massage is *always* a good thing!

[Tracy]

OH! You ladies are good! I am so enjoying this thread and writing down some of the fantastic ideas!(nt)

[Amylita]

ridiculously high thread count sheets, the Lucky hobo bag I've been coveting, and I would get new dinnerware because I looooove that shit :p

[Amylita]

I've been trying different kinds lately, trying to find my favorite.

[Nancy]

Some NICE (i.e, not Target) clothes; flowering plants, preferably ones that will return year after year; some really nice pottery for the garden, either whimsical stone statues or nice urns/pots to plant in; some really cool kitchen gadgets, the stuff I drool over every time I go to the kitchen specialty store but can't afford; some cool shoes, or maybe new cowboy boots; some really awesome jeans!

[sarahrose]

It just adds a little punch to a cosmo (a Gingertini). But it's too much for more than a drink or 2.

I like Skyy (though not top of the line) and do not like smirnoff. There is also a cheap Vodka called Something Fijord that is decent. It's Scadinavian of some sort (next time I'm at the liquor store I'll look) and it's only aboout 12 bucks a bottle.

If I had extra dough I'd buy a super premium brand that compares to Grey Goose (maybe a little higher priced). I don't love GG so I'd have to try something new.

[Amylita]

I tried Reyka last and it was fantastic (its not too pricey though-comparable to GG). It's so clean, I could drink it like water. I won't, but I could :rofl:

Books and music also come to mind.

I am the same way and, in a way, really hate having money to spend on myself because I find it so HARD.

[Ali]

I requested, and received, money from my Dad & Stepmom money for my last birthday. They gifted me $200 :banana:

I saved it and doled it out little bits at a time as I saw something I wanted. Well, other than that one $60 purchase at Goodwill in which I was able to purchase 7 (yes, seven) different outfits. :rofl:

[Sarah]

OMG Sarah! Levenger is seriously pornographic!!! I actually drooled when I saw the laplander.

I'm all about the 3x5 love these days -- I got the action folio and I just LOVE it. And I'm eyeing Circa stuff like you wouldn't believe.
