What should I buy for myself on Amazon

Flamingemu · July 2014

My birthday is this week and I have gotten $150 to Amazon so far. So what should I spend it on besides more crap for my kid?

PenelopePond · July 2014

I always but myself kitchen stuff. I've recently gotten a spiralizer (to make zucchini noodles and things), a new wok, a rice cooker (I suck at making rice), bundt pans... Just odd stuff I like but don't normally buy.

That would be fun!

You know you're getting old when you spend your birthday money on your kids and house stuff lol. That's what my entire bday list consists of, though, too.

I want to upgrade my little kitchen gadgets---A nice zester and grater, a few attachments for my kitchen aid mixer, and also new fluffy towels.

I made the boys some cucumber noodles and they thought it was coolest thing ever.

No help because I took the $50 one I got for my birthday and put it toward a picnic table for the kids for the yard. :-S

Ooh I love my immersion blender. I got a food processor for Christmas and love that, too.

I've been eying the spiralizer and immersion blender forever... I'm boring.

The immersion blender is--hands down--the best kitchen appliance EVER.

Don't don't DON'T try to make mashed potatoes with it, though. You'll end up with glue. Gluey glue.

OK, what exactly are you guys doing with an immersion blender? I'm clueless.

jenndub · July 2014

Books! And shoes! And a purse!

smoothies

baby food

slurries for soups and pasta dishes

any of my stir fry sauces

applesauce

I use it to chop up herbs in bulk and then I freeze them in olive oil for the winter

A new blow dryer or curling iron? I really want to get a fat curling iron to try in my stick straight hair. But I probably won't. Haha

I've been eyeing one of these. You'll have to report back on how it is. I've also debated the rice cooker a million times, lol.

I'm also a kitchen gadget junkie, but if I wasn't spending the money on that, I'd want reading material. Can never have enough on my kindle.

I used my last gift card to get a nice bag for my dslr camera and lenses. Do you have any hobbies like that you can buy accessories for?

OceanLover26 · July 2014

I just bought a super nintendo game system from Amazon. I can't wait to beat everyone at Super Mario World.

I would buy some beauty products, my fav perfume, a new hair product, a new book, and a set of equilizer bars for my workouts. Those are on my list right now.

I just spent a half hour looking at Sperry's on Amazon. They are going on my bday wish list.

kdsmith43 · July 2014

Okay ladies, link me to your noodle spiralizer. These things are way cool, but there are several variations. @penelopepond @harti09

I love the look of Sperry's but hate the fit. I have tried on so many pairs and I am so disapointed every time.

tinyhumantoe · July 2014

I wish I had a good suggestion. I would buy:

Good shampoo/conditioner

Shoes

New Hair Dryer

PenelopePond · July 2014

I have the same spiralizer as harti.

Ooooo, that's good to know. I have wide feet. Two of the pairs I put on my wish list come in 7.5D & 8.0D, so that's what direction I'll probably head in. I just saw some at a local shoe store on Friday but I wasn't in the shoe-trying-on mood. I'll have to go back to decide which size. The ones on Amazon were much cuter than the store's inventory. Of course. ::shakes fist at Amazon::

J/k I heart ;Amazon!!!

I ordered a pair a while back from 6pm. They were so freakin cute. I couldn't wait for them to get here. Tried them on and hated the fit. I have a weird arch and it sat completely wrong on my foot. Plus the rubbed on the tops of my feet. I was so sad. Definiately try them on first. It's a different sort of fit.
