[Closed] What should I spend my Amazon vouchers on?

I got 90 quid's worth of amazon vouchers for Xmas and Birthday from various folk.

A nice position to be in, but TBH I don't have anything I really need. I'm looking to build up a full sus frame late in the spring - but am going to get a deal on a build.

I've got the clothing and stuff I need. Other than mountain-biking I've got simple tastes.

I'm a bit of a loss. Might even use to spend on my daughter her her birthday in February.

Give me some inspiration - what are nice to haves?

Gear cable set for your build? Will use some of it anyway.

Good shout on the sunglasses. Forever mislaying.

Got two sets of earbuds [as they go flat so quickly]

More ideas please!

Amazon vouchers expire 10 years after issue.. so save them till you need them?

Though I am currently enjoying my Fasola heated vest and the yak trax I bought a couple of years ago and have come in handy lately.

^ Which sounds a better gift than buying something for yourself just for the sake of buying something?

Vitamin D3 (hahahah)

... A stock of larder staples? Home product staples? (Shower gel, deodorant, cleaning stuff, toothpaste, etc.) Imagine having a year's worth of stock of 'basically everything' - not having to worry about running out of things or constantly forgetting to buy another bottle of shaving foam every time you shop

I could soon burn £90 on Amazon in general miscellaneous spares for the bikes, cables, brake fluid, sealant, tools, lubricants (fnar).

Or like others suggest a gadget or two for yourself.

Or it's enough vouchers to cover a years prime subscription if you want...

Snap. Burpday today and got £75 of vouchers - don't need anything. I have an Anker Soundcore 2 which is very good, we take it away with us and it's fab for the size, but I noticed they have a new 'big'er bluetooth speaker out - bit like an 80's mini boombox (Anker Motion Boom). 10% off today so bought it !

Should be good for 'parties' in the garden by 2023 ! 🙂

1 bought an apple pencil with mine. It's amazing -you can write on the iPad screen with it and it translates it into typed text! I just did that to create this post. And drawing with it is cool too. Too damn expensive to buy without some nice any-on no, Amazon gift vouchers.

Shoes dryer. I got an air blowing one a couple of weeks ago, not sure how I have ever managed without one before

Raspberry Pi3 and make yourself a Pie Hole. Totally revolutionises the way the internet works 🙂

A couple of nice books with the rest?

So far I have got a very jazzy DH Jersey, a classy bell for the bike and some nice photo frames.

Thanks for the good ideas folks.

Can you not spend them on more Amazon vouchers?

For the man or lady who has everything

Nsfw... Or by the looks of things for anyone on the receiving end...

It's easy to blow £90 on Amazon...

Just find one thing you need that costs about £5 and then the other bits will find a way into your basket.

Went to buy some funnels for the kitchen, ended up with those and some drill accessories and a spirit level somehow yesterday. Nearly bought an electric battery drill as well 🤔 then had premature buyers remorse and it moved to "save for later".
