It's my birthday today my husband gave me $100 cash, told me to buy myself something nice!?

What should I buy? I've never been good at buying MYSELF anything?

Update:

I thought it was nice... :( And you can never go wrong with cash!

Update 2:

I like the pampering idea, I NEVER do that stuff! Hair cut and a pedicure sounds great!

Update 3:

All the bills are paid so no danger of it going there...

Update 4:

This is how difficult I am to buy for... my mother and sister gave me $$$ also.

Update 5:

Cardinals are out of town until Friday night but that's a thought.

Update 6:

Thanks Chevypirate! I thought about that! Maybe a nice steak dinner and left over money for the new hair-do...I usually take every cent he gives me and stash it away for that move to Florida ;)

    Uh, no. It is not normal and you don't eat them. They are kept as pets. 23 is a lot of crabs, I wonder what he was thinking? They can be kept in an aquarium or some sort of tank with sand and spare shells to grow into. There is a hermit crab food made for them, and I have heard that you keep a wet sponge in their tank for them to get water out of. If you are serious about keeping some of them (I wouldn't try to keep all 23!), I would get a book at my local book store, pet store or public library to learn how to properly care for them. I would have a serious talk with my husband to find out why he thought these were a good gift. I would much rather receive jewelry, perfume, or maybe a gift certificate to the nail salon! If my husband gave me crabs for any occasion (or no occasion) he wouldn't live long enough to regret it, lol.

    Happy Birthday ! When my wife was alive, I would give her the money, a card about how much I loved her, buy her a corsage and take her out for dinner and where ever else (theater/movie) - it would be her choice of restaurant and the afterward. Not knowing what she needed or wanted, I felt that my course of action would suffice, along with not forgetting to say how much I loved her.

    Then buy something for him= at least he would get a better idea on how much you think about how much you care==or buy $100.00 in lottery tickets== as for my opnion cash is a cop out== it's to easy= Hey better yet save the $100.00 and buy a gallon of gas in two weeks== at any rate have a happy happy birthday and don't expect change back for the gas==another idea is give it away to a homeless person= what you get is lost forever and what you give away is yours for all time=== ohmar shrieff== dr. who?

    Source(s): new movie= "The hundered dollar gift" try an get another $100.00 tommrow== tell him what you want cost $193.00 see if he peels off another hunderd=

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU (it's my kid sisters birthday too today - twins) I would treat myself to a perfume(depends on what you like) makeup, and some victoria secrets underwear - those always make me feel good anytime any day.

    1. Gucci Perfume or Estee Lauder

    2. Mac - Makeup

    3. Nice sexy lingerie

    or plain save the money for when you are ready to shop an expensive item for yourself.

    Get a massage or a great new haircut. Resist the temptation to spend on anyone but yourself. If you take care of you first, you'll be better able to help everyone else. Happy birthday!

    Hey, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! What I would do if I had 100 dollars is by myself some make-up, clothes or maybe some jewelry. By yourself something that would make you use everyday.
