elegantlion Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I recently put together a list of books on Egypt that I'd like to have. They were for my study purposes. The total was right around 100.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenmom5 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 You can buy so many things on amazon these days . . . books, dvd's, organization items (I've been having lots of fun doing that lately - but those are more "house" things than "me" things). I don't know. I'd have to really think about it. I've had a hard time over the years buying things for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnsinkableKristen Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I would get a whole bunch of books off my wish list and the 4th season of Dr Who (when it was on sale, there is no way I'm paying $70 for it) :D There are quite a few books on that list I've wanted forever, I just never buy them!

Jennifer3141 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I've got about $1000 worth of books in my cart for me so I'd start by making a tiny dent in that. And maybe a new bottle of perfume. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseballmom Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 I'd save it until I had no doubt what I wanted to use it for. Great idea. I want to get something I really want, but I'd also really like to get a great deal. I may have to just keep an eye out to see if any great deals arise in the near future.

The total was right around 100.00. I told myself, NO BOOKS! I am always buying books. I have 11 bookshelves full of books. I think I have a serious problem :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 :w00t: time to :party: I have a list as long as my arm - the question is not whether I could spend $100 (or even £100 ;) ) but what would I choose to buy from said list?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I'd be tempted to buy one of those ice cream makers that was being discuss on a recent, previous thread. I'd also buy a recipe book. This way the gift could technically be for me, but also include the rest of the family too. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoNative Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I'd buy an Ebelskivers cookbook and an Ebelskiver pan....plus as many other Raw Food cookbooks as would fit into the $100 cart!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I have actually been thinking about learning how to knit lately. Any ideas to get me started? Yeah, join our monthly craft thread and be inspired by my knitting brilliance. :lol: (That's funny because I'm also learning to knit and take, on average, 26 days to knit a measly, misshapen, little square.) I'd go to the library and see if they have a book of blocks for afghans or something like that. They usually have variations on the same stitches, so you can practice without getting too bored and increase your skills by learning one new thing at a time. So, once you have the hang of knitting and purling, you can try a pattern that requires only knitting and purling, but in two colours, for example. If I had $100 to fritter away, I'd get the Einstein Syndrome book I really want, a new seaweed cookbook and spend the rest of craft books to add to my collection. Completely impractical, but droolworthy books like this: http://www.amazon.com/Polish-Folk-Embroidery-Jadwiga-Turska/dp/8371410050/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I11C6H65GRRIOR&colid=2LE2RDPS10Z04, and this: http://www.amazon.com/Embroidered-Textiles-World-Traditional-Patterns/dp/0500288585/ref=pd_sim_b_7. :drool5: Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 A new laptop battery. I am tethered with a power cord at all times now. My battery only lasts a couple of minutes. I am waiting for dh to get a new job before I order a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseballmom Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 So I had to read the "What are you waiting for from Amazon?" thread. I was intrigued by the Bento lunch boxes. So that's what I spent the $100 on. I got one for myself and each of my kids. We are gone all day on Wednesdays and I swore I would be better about making healthy lunches this year. I hope this helps. Not exactly what I was originally thinking, but I am excited. I am such a geek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
