    Needlessly expensive piece of technology.

    Many sensibly priced pieces of technology.

    Some whiskey and at least 1 cigar. That's what I generally go for.

    Were I to get a promotion I'd actually take a Friday/Monday off if possible and have a relaxing weekend for myself before tearing into work again.

    Probably look to have a couple of pints, I've never had a massage so I could go for that, a walk around Killarney National park and I suppose you'd have to put a cigar in there - preferably smoked whilst listening to the smooth tones of Otis Redding

    A weekend away break is what I always did (if the promotion came with a payrise).

    Congrats, btw!

    I was going to see if someone else mentioned this but if you don't have a massive Irish breakfast after whatever you plan then Ill be very disappointed.

    "I'm sorry embraer170, but I'm going to have to demote you to your previous position."

    "What!?! But why?"

    "You arrived to work today on a motorbike, with a prostitute on the back, absolutely stinking of whiskey and cigar smoke, and began demanding the secretary give you a hot stone massage in exchange for your new Omega watch."

    "But! It's not my fault! Strangers on the internet told me to do it!"

    I'm in the same boat as the OP, stuck for ideas. Not really into gadgetry.

    Maybe a really nice restaurant, or a holiday somewhere you've really wanted to go, but never got around to.

    If you're into wine/whisk(e)y/beer, some really good bottles.

    Most of the stuff I'm into involves self-improvement through work or effort (keeping fit, competitive chess, languages) so there aren't really any "throw money at it" short cuts.

    If I could choose something, it would be time off to go on a long holiday, but with great power comes great responsibilities, and more hours in the office!

    If you travel, a set of Bose QC-15 noise canceling headphones. Expensive but worth it.

    Thanks for the ideas....

    I'd love a very long holiday but work + family commitments won't allow for it in the near future. I have all the computers, mobile phones and electronic gadgets I want. I have a nice car so upgrading that now would be unreasonable...
