Need inspiration - a nice "problem" to have!

[38911]

Need inspiration. I received about £3000 worth of Amazon vouchers recently. I used some to buy a new iPhone 12 max pro, upgrade my daughters laptop to a new model, buy a posh BBQ etc. But I have about £700 left and have run out of ideas of what to use them for.

I don't need anything, and I could just stash them away and buy mundane stuff as and when I need to - but that would be dull. I'd rather get something meaningful with them than just use them on day to day stuff.



Things I already have/don't want :

• Phone
• Computer/laptop/iPad etc
• Drone
• Camera
• TVs
• Home Audio
• Coffee machines
• Smart home stuff - already have Hue / Nest / Ring / Eero / etc

It's a nice problem to have, I know..... but if you had £700 to spend on something meaningful at Amazon, what would you buy?

I’d be looking at a hobby I’ve always wanted to start and begin from there. You’d be able to buy a nice amount of good quality kit, for whatever that hobby maybe, I’m sure.

Enjoy!

Easy. Robot vacuum cleaner.

Only if you buy yourself this?

Good suggestion. Was thinking about a lathe and tasking up wood-turning... or a resin pressure thingy....

I will give it further thought.

Thanks :-)

Sadly I have zero musical talent. A lesson learned the hard way :-(

What car have you got? You could possibly get something for it.

Got one (only a cheap one - but it's very effective).

Was thinking about a robot lawnmower - but not sure my garden is big enough to justify it.

thanks.

Very good suggestion. Could get a nice little setup for the money!

Another one worth of further thought

Unfortunately nothing that Amazon has parts for :-(

Did think about getting a decent car washing setup - a good jet wash with snow foamer thingy etc along with some decent cleaning products etc

More thought needed on that one.

Who doesn't need a Lego Star Destroyer?

You're welcome!

Radio controlled car?

RR Velar.

Sadly Amazon don't sell breakdown cover, which would be the most useful purchase for it.

Hmmm, not my thing really. I'd rather fly my drone - and I don't have enough time to do that very often!

Thanks :-)
