I have some money to spend and no ideas on what to get... Moms! what can you not live without:)?

Question

I am a mom of 4 little ones so I figured this was the best category to put this question in:)  I have around $500 to spend on myself that I cannot invest (that was the stipulation) it is a gift and I am suppose to just buy some stuff for myself.  I have sufficient clothing/shoes/purse anything a women could "need" but I'm looking for things you have that are REALLY great.  For instance I have an irobot vacuum and I cannot remember what it was like before that it works so well in my home.  Anyway, thanks ahead of time for any ideas.

An hour massage

Getting hair cut and colored if you do that

Fake baking (tanning) I don't do that myself, but some like it

You could hire someone to do your yard for you here they charge only 20 to mow, 20 to plant flowers, 20 to edge, etc.

Last year my Aunt bought herself a new carpet cleaner, and a hardwood floor buffer. She says she couldn't live without those lol. She used to hire people to clean her carpets, but didn't like having to plan a head lol.

I love my Bluetooth headset.  I can talk on my cell phone hands-free.  Also, my ipod is nice when I want to work out.  Right now, I've got my eye on a Blendtec Blender.  I love making smoothies and soups and dips but my blender isn't the greatest so I've decided to go with a $400 commercial quality blender (once I get $400).  I also want to get pedestals for my washer and dryer.  I would love not to have to bend so low but that's around $600.  You could invest in a quality cookware set.  If you like the irobot vacuum, they make a scuba for kitchen floors (be warned, you still need to sweep, it will only mop).  Don't discount using the money for a great "experience."  Go to a spa, spend a night in a ritzy hotel, go to an expensive restaurant, see a play/opera/sports game.  Check online for fun stuff in your area.

I would love a day at the spa. I have had one professional back massage and it was just awesome. A total day with the whole nine yards and then some dinner would be great for me. I have everything else I would want or need.

A day at the spa sounds wonderful to me. :)
Or, a new camera, I love taking pictures. And a few books.
Have fun!

My two cents · Answer

Flowers!  Get yourself a gift card to a florist, that way you can have fresh flowers all year round.

W/ four kids it's amazing how needed and wonderful just a deep breath of fresh flowers can be.
