    Diesel for the car or an escort.

    You wouldn't get much of an escort for €100.

    Maybe one with no front grille and with the rear falling out of it.

    A 70ml bottle of poison perfume. My old bottle is almost empty and I'm sad. Nice scent is the only thing I indulge in, clothes are either homemade or pre-loved and the kids get any luxuries. I like to smell nice, even if its just a trip to lidl!

    7875 penny sweets

    I'd prefer to get 18,901 of them.

    Much better value

    A card with €100 euro in it or maybe a cheap 4G phone.

    One of the following:

    A bottle of Soir De Lune perfume from Sisley.

    A handbag. Lovely soft leather.

    Shoes.

    A beautiful scarf that feels nice.

    Earrings from a posh jewellers.

    It seems I'm far more girly than I realised! :)

    I always have difficulty with situations like this; if I get a gift voucher or a prize or the likes. I have all I need and enough money to buy something if I want it. If I really had to spend €100 then I suppose I'd put a few bob to it and take all the family out for a meal. I got a €500 voucher for a large department store a few years back. Walked around for an hour, saw nothing I wanted and then just let my wife loose with it to spend on herself. It was gone in 10 minutes.

    I'd probably spend it on a long overdue new router.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 415 ✭✭FelineOverLord


    Fish and chips and some Ben and Jerrys, washed down with a bottle of Bollinger.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,473 ✭✭✭Wacker The Attacker


    €100 poker chips.

    I have this exact dilemma at the moment as someone gave me a 100 euro voucher. I have lots of frivolous ideas but then my sensible brain tells me I should spend it on something sensible.

    PM sent

    Damn you!!

    Vinyl, but not the wearable kind. Actually I bought the soundtrack of The Last Of Us recently and it was in and around €100, so that...

    Just be sure to spend it before it runs out. I had a voucher from a shopping centre use by date june 2016. Went on a splurge a few months ago, gave it to shop assistant only for her to tell me it was empty. I said I didn't use it at all (beginning to doubt myself thinking my memory is worse than I thought!). It appears that as every month went by €3 was deducted from the amount leaving nothing on the card! Very maddening I can tell you. So buyer beware wasted money by gift giver. It's one of those cards run by well known cc company.(covering a variety of stores).
