Wife's (no pics) boss got me a $50 Amazon gift card for Christmas. Nice gesture I suppose (most likely becuase I loaned him a truck earlier in the year so he could buy some furniture) but I don't know what to do with it. We're all good on sex toys and I'm liable to just misplace the thing if I don't go ahead and use it...any ideas from the OT for an item you probably wouldn't otherwise purchase but would if it was "free" ?

Buy things you would spend your money on elsewhere. Dog food, toilet paper, toothpaste, etc.

buy your wife the essentials for her life. A few brooms, a few pots and pans, and maybe an apron if she's hot

If he feels guilty about anything I'd be more insulted he thinks it was only worth $50

You're WIFE'S boss got you a gift card?

That's actually pretty strange.

You can apply it to your account and use it whenever you want so you don't have to keep track of the card.

Put $13 dollars with it and buy a remote control drone with video camera.

Got two for my kids for Christmas and they are amazing for the money.

This one from amazon.

You can credit the gift card to your Amazon account and then just use it whenever you buy something on Amazon.

Gift card balances never expire on Amazon and they don't charge any kind of inactivity fees. When you purchase something it will give you the option to use your credit balance on your account or pay with your credit card.

So add it to your account and then you don't have to worry about losing or forgetting about it.

Another(less fun) idea is to order LED light bulbs for the house. I've started swapping out my bulbs to these as they go out.

I'm in the same boat with a fifty dollar amazon gift card... Came from pa in law, not some guy giving my wife the business...


That little helo looks pretty sweet! I may buy that thing.

Thanks!
