Just won a $50 gift card to Amazon. I could buy something boring and practical or I could mine the collective Dope-Mind for something truly unique and interesting!
(also, my first post in a long, long time. How’s it going’?)
Amazon sells pretty much any item you could want to buy. Since it’s basically a cash equivalent, so why not give some details on what you’re looking for? Books? Clothing? Tools? Something artsy?
Of course, you’ll probably get told to sock it away for a rainy day, but that’s the dope for you.
Put it towards a Prime membership.
(I work in a shipping center so Prime keeps me employed.)
Hey, thanks! Amazon shipping is one of my favorite things.
As it happens, I received a $50 Amazon gift card for Valentine’s Day. I used it to complete my collection of Quincy DVDs by pre-ordering the final season. The remainder went toward a TWSBI Tri-Tech iSmart pen. I got one for my birthday, and I love it, so I wanted a second one for my office.
Then again, Jack Klugman and multi-function pens might not be your thing. 
Here are the things on my current Amazon Wish List that could be purchased for $50.
Molecular Gastronomy Starter Kit - $47.99
Luxardo Gourmet Maraschino Cherries - 400g Jar - $22.79
FrogLube FrogTube 5Pc Kit (1/1.5/4Oz) - $34.29
Google Chromecast HDMI Streaming Media Player - $30.57
Bahco 2444 Carpenter Mora Multi Purpose Knife -$9.75
So my advice is to buy one of those things, because I have excellent taste and sage wisdom.
I hate to say, “It depends,” but it depends. What do you want/need right now? Clothing? Books? Household tools? A cell phone case? A good set of earphones?
I’m already Prime, baby!
Can confirm. Would lose.
I want to find something I wouldn’t necessarily want/need…something outside of my wheelhouse.
Get a horse’s head mask. If you’ve got some problematic business associates, it could . . . come in handy.
Alternately, uranium ore is always a crowd pleaser. Or wolf pee. It’s genuine!
More seriously, you can buy an actual piece of an ancient meteorite, which sounds pretty cool to me. ThinkGeek also has a piece of the Moon and Mars.
Molecular Gastronomy Starter Kit - $47.99
All-in-all good suggestions so far, but this is ONE thing that had slipped my mind.
:rolleyes:
Socks.
