Reply to: What thing to get?

Donate the money to charity.

I hear that kiva.org are a great alternative to Fairtrade that will make you feel great about fleecing the third world.

I feel the need to celebrate a few things with a small present to myself.

My problem is that I don't know what to get.

That I lack is time, so no playstation 3 for me as it swallows time.
I have a new laptop from x-mas.
My mobile phone is fine.
I have a nice watch.
I have a lot of books the the future months commute.

Any great ideas?

Budget can be up to 500 Euros

FFS - just stick it in the bank.

No one was forced to post in this thread. Chill.

Buy yourself some happiness. Make the world a better place.

you will find that giving away what is, relative to your income, not much money, makes you feel a lot happier.

I was a little wary about opening a link featuring "vibe" and "five fingers" there for a moment. Then I realized it was about footwear.

Invest in some top quality footwear for work, i invested in a nice pair of churches last weekend and it's brightened my commute to work up no end.. so so comfy.

No thanks, I already have 3 ladies at home keeping me busy.

I am married, and the babysitter is on vacation this week.

I am not a big fan of taking pictures. And we have a digicam that works just fine.

Only has capacity of 16gb - I have 35gb of music in my current ipod, and the current ipod works just fine.

Home is in Frankfurt. AS that is where I sleep and where family resides. I am not too nostalgic about the "blessings" of DK.

I drink espressos and got a very nice Saeco from the missus for Birthday present a few years ago, it works great.

Only downside is that it requires time.

I don't have a license for a gun.

No I don't want to buy GBP - I don't like heavily depreciating assets

It is just a small present - not more than I can earn before lunch.

Buy a krugerrand and bury it in your garden. Then when you are playing with the kids one day, have a wee treasure hunt and find the gold hidden in the back garden, they will get a masssive kick out of it, you get a nice shiny lump of gold to ooh and ahh over and something that not people have or bother to get.

My Dad did this when we were kids, I still remember the sense of disbelief when we actually discovered treasure in our back garden, my father gave me the krugerand on my 21st birthday as a little heirloom.
