what are you buying


I don't know yet.

I was looking to this post for some inspiration.

Sad thing is that you can't buy other gift cards with it. Otherwise, I would have purchased some Visa Gift cards with it.

Something practical -- A Bluetti Portable Power Station (in case your power goes out).

You can get a few really large dog or animal kennels.

You probably can get a power washer.

You can get a really good pair of Air Jordan’s.

Maybe a Macintosh equalizer.

You can probably get one large yeti ice chest.

A blowup doll family of four

You probably can get some laminate wood flooring for a small bathroom

Maybe, just maybe a small walk-in shower cover so you can do the makeover yourself.

Probably a pretty decent small electric or battery powered minibike.

Some really good speakers if you already have an equalizer.

You could probably get hundreds and hundreds of diabetes test strips in bulk.

You could probably buy hundreds of those rubber, fake vomit things that you put on the ground. If you have kids, they could give it out to classmates.

A set of recessed lights for the eaves on your house.

Probably about eight heavy duty cardboard barrels. The kind they use for donations.

You might be able to get a portable shed to put those barrels in.

You could probably find a pretty decent self-propelled push mower. You can put that in the portable shed as well.

Probably some decent scuba diving gear.

A really fancy drone.

You could probably find horse food on there

If you like hamsters, you can probably get an intricate and rather large hamster set up with those tubes running from room to room. You could run it all throughout your house for a family of hamsters.

Sounds lame but thanks to a pillow thread on here a couple of weeks back, I used my own $400 gift card to buy a couple of nice pillows and a new set of sheets.

I'm SO happy this was the choice I made. Daily usage and noticeably better sleep. Now thinking of upgrading mattress and comforter next. I'm a cheap bastard so spending well over $100 for a pillow never even crossed my mind. Turns out, purchasing high quality, expensive bedding is a pretty smart investment.

I had a gift card a few years ago i used to get a Japanese made toilet seat cover. It's really hard to dru wipe after using it. You get spoiled with hot water jets. Heated seat and the air dryer. Though you still need to wipe a little.
