Welcome to a Secret Subject Swap. This week 13 brave bloggers picked a secret subject for someone else and were assigned a secret subject to interpret in their own style. Today we are all simultaneously divulging our topics and submitting our posts.
Your “Secret Subject” is:
You have $500 gift card from Amazon. What would you buy and why?
It was submitted by: http://www.bookwormkitchen.com
I'd love a truck, trailer and boat however I don't think I can swing that with only $500.
Clothes, yes I need some new clothes but I refuse to buy anything until I can wear what I have. Since my thyroid removal I've gained weight, which the doctor assured me would fall off. Liar!
ooh a fire stick so I can cancel my satellite! Save myself some money.
A push mower, weed eater and rake, then I could cut out the yard guy each month.
A treadmill maybe so I could walk at night after work and not get eaten my mosquitoes, which by the way if they sucked fat instead of blood I would NOT need a treadmill and this would save on a gym membership.
Hmmm I see a theme, save money! Yep, that's me, practical and frugal.
Okay, something fun, a hammock and sun shades for my back deck. Maybe a stereo so I could blast some tunes while chillin' in the shade.
New shoes, a pair of cow girl boots and a rain coat. Yes, practical but needed. Okay maybe I don't need the boots but I'd love a pair.
A gun. Yes, with my line of work sometimes I need one and have seriously considered getting myself one, but I don't think $500 would do it.
As you can tell I don't shop and have no idea of the cost of some items.
Oooo a SeaDoo, jetski! Another thing that is most likely out of the $500 range.
Ah!! A bed fan! Have you seen these? A fan that attaches to the end of the mattress and cools you off while you sleep. ooh I want one.
So...what would you buy with a gift card?

Love what you did with my prompt! Good for you for not being addicted to online shopping, often we forget that it all adds up.
ReplyDeleteI think I would save that gift card to buy my son's sandals, shoes, and jackets. I like that I can order two or three items then return the ones I don't like for free
That is good. I didn't know you could return for free.
DeleteThe push mower would save you the yard man, the treadmill and the gym, just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteI vote you go for the bed fan and the hammock. Practical, fun, not terribly expensive!
haha I'm def. looking at the fan, for real. And I really want a hammock. Right now it's a dream, but who knows.
DeleteI guess I would get Christmas finished early and use it for that! If I spend anything it's either on the grandkids/daughter or electronics
ReplyDeleteI've always spent on everyone else, I tried to think of what I'd do for me. Def. would most likely spend it on the grands.
DeleteI want a new slip cover for my couch. Or maybe a new couch! We are in the market for a new vehicle for my husband, though, so I feel like all the money is headed that way.
ReplyDeleteI'd get a few things I needed around the house, a surprise each for the people I love most (including the dog), and definitely something for myself probably some material I've had my eye on to make a dress or skirt.
