Brad Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 OK, I've got a few t-shirts left (medium and large only) so we'll give one away here. If you win and don't want the shirt, you can also choose to receive some GD pens and stickers instead :) Simple question: If you were given $100 to buy one gift for yourself this year, from any store/web site/whatever, what one thing would you buy? Reply to this thread with your answer and you'll be entered in the contest. I'll pick a winner tomorrow morning and they will win the shirt. Santa Banana () is reading this, so make sure you pick a good one :)
elena_398 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Its horrible, but I think the mom in me would still use that gift card for toys for my kids for christmas. It will be a tad tight this year so I would feel guilty spending $100 on myself. Maybe one thing though :) Just read you have to put one thing down: I really need my hair done. Its been so long since I had a cut and style. So I would like to get my hair done and maybe a highlight :)
lindabacker Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 old navy jeans! I just lost 118 pounds and my clothes are falling off me!!! :yay:
wright1baby Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I guess if it HAD to be for me, I would go get my hair and nails done and maybe something "sassy" from Victoria Secret (that way it's for DH too). I am not used to spending a whole lot of $$ on myself. Wendy
Brad Posted November 3, 2005 Author Posted November 3, 2005 Yes, it HAS to be for you and it HAS to be one thing. Otherwise you don't get anything
Tessangel Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I would get a babysitter so that me and my husband could go out on our Anniversary and have a nice night. ( We just moved to Alabama and don't have family here so we would have to pay for babysitter and we have 4 kids so that would be alot for a babysitter for a couple of hours! )
wright1baby Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Yes, it HAS to be for you and it HAS to be one thing. Otherwise you don't get anything ONE thing??? Hmmm....WOW that's hard. A night out for Hubby and me--dinner and a movie. UHG! that's two, does that count? EDIT: tessangel posted as I was typing--great minds think a like!
JJMathes Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Nerf N-Strike Unity Power System With DVD http://www.etoys.com/genProduct.html/PID/3191359/ctid/17/INstock/Y/D/ My kids wouldn't know what hit them!!!
rosegarden Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 An Ipod Shuffle so I could listen to music all to myself without sharing with DD, DS and DH!
dealluvr Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 well for me i would go to my favorite jewelry store and buy the best pair of threader earrings i could with 100 dollars.that ,truly would be awesome!
Guest DigDoug Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I'd buy that Calvin and Hobbes complete series or I'd bargain for a Derrek Lee Cubs away jersey.
sperdue Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I would put $150 with it and get the really cool black ipod nano!! Just want to say, I'm brand new to this site. I love bargains and sales. This is definitely the place for me!
alimfp Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 $100 gift card (haha, funny since it'd be for me anyway..) to Old Navy or TJ Maxx - I need work clothes baddddd.
amyj0_99 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Okay, this is actually what I want for my birthday, which is also in December. I WANT the 8' Inflatable Snow Globe Snowman Family to put out on my front lawn with my other Christmas decorations. This thing looks soooo awesome. The snow even falls like in a regular snow globe AND it lights up. Here's a link in case anyone hasn't seen these yet. http://www.samsclub.com/eclub/main_shopping.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&n=0&mt=a&coe=0&oidPath=0:-23542:-30641:-46141:-46697:949154 Of course, it's more than $100, but if I had $100 to go towards it, then I wouldn't feel guilty buying it for myself!
amyj0_99 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 old navy jeans! I just lost 118 pounds and my clothes are falling off me!!! :yay:Linda, Congratulations!!!! :gd_purple That is TOTALLY AWESOME!!!! You deserve it! Amy
buckwheat_jegc Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Do you really have to even ask, Brad? I thought everyone should know the answer to this question for me. Check out my avatar! If I had a $100 gift certificate, then I would have to first get the LOST DVD set :clapping:and wear my large shirt while I sit in my favorite chair and watch it. :clapping:The rest of the money would be set aside for season two, once it's released.
holly2hottie Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I would buy a really great pair of comfortable running shoes to wear on Black Friday!!
bytch_mynickname Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I would buy myself a dvd recorder like the Cybehome walmart is going to have on BF. It would be mine but obviously used for the 'house.'
heavenlysshine Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I'd put some cash with it and get a new mattress set. Mine has gotten worn out from all the tossing and turning at night wondering when the next ad will arrive! ~H~
ohio_gal1959 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I would buy myself some Art Acrylic Paints from http://www.discountart.com/I love to paint and Im always running out of supplies.
ryka Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I would put the $100 towards my wedding dress. With having 2 kids there isn't to much money to go towards the wedding. It's a very tight budget but worth every penny to spend the rest of my life with my knight in shining armor. ( I know it's sappy but true )
nfdanceon Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 If I was given $100.00 I would buy a nice night out to dinner with my boyfriend.
wildtama Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 My goodness! One would think that spending $100 would be easy, but it's really not. :) All the things that come to mind involve what I would do with it to bring a smile to a loved ones face. After some thought, I would spend the money on a web camera to use on the computer so that I could have sound and picture over the net with our relatives who live out of the country. :)
Brad Posted November 3, 2005 Author Posted November 3, 2005 Is adding extra money allowed?NO! One thing. $100 or Less! C'mon people
ryka Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Ok well since then we can't add anymore money to it I would buy paint to paint my bedroom. It hasn't been painted since I moved in which was 5 years ago and I am sick of the white walls.
blakes_mommy Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I would go to sears on BF get the $10 gift card, reducing the price of the 1 ct. diamond bracelet to $79 and spend the rest on lacey undies. I would love it and not feel guilty at all!!
krissy72 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I would buy 100 lotto tickets hoping to win millions so I could have more money to bargain shop.
amyj0_99 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Okay, since it has to be under $100, I'll go with what I wanted for my birthday before I saw the inflatable snow globe with the . Keep in mind that Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year and I'm already in the Christmas spirit!!! JCPenney.com has an outdoor lighted CANDY CANE ARCHWAY that I think would look awesome alongside my lighted Santa and Reindeer set that I got LAST year for my birthday . The candy cane archway is on sale for $79.99 and I have a free shipping coupon so I could get it for $79.99 plus tax and still have :gd_dollar to spend :bunny: Here's a link: http://www4.jcpenney.com/jcp/ProductsHOM.aspx?DeptID=25438&CatID=33622&CatTyp=LFS&ItemTyp=G&GrpTyp=PRD&ItemID=0d3370b&ProdSeq=1&ProdCount=2&Dep=Home+Furnishings&RefPage=SearchDepartment&ShowMenu=T&ShopBy=0&SearchString=archway&S4DeptID=25438
