If you had £100 to spend on yourself, what would you buy?

I have some birthday money and if I don't spend it soon it will end up being used for food shopping/on the DC etc.

It doesn't have to be a style and beauty thing, and it doesn't have to be all on one thing.

I'm 33 and pregnant and love beauty products, reading, watching films, jewellery etc. Don't want to buy clothes until after baby arrives.

Any ideas?

All great suggestions - don't really want a rug or electric blanket Grin - have got an electric toothbrush and just had my cut and colour done.......

Ideally I'd love to have a spa day or something, but being pg there is very little you can do/have done. Last time I went for a mother to be treatment I nearly slapped the therapist as the pressure she used was so light!

Last time I had 100 pound gift vouchers I bought one of these www.swarovski.com/Web_CA/en/1791305/product/Tennis_Bracelet.html from asos. With the next 100, I bought GHD hair straighteners . They are both fantastic pick-me-ups.

Personally in your position, I buy a gift card for my favourite clothes shop. That way I'd be able to use the money on a present for myself without being tempted to spend it on bread, and I'd know I'd be able to treat myself to some nice after-pregnancy wear.
