I need help for my own Christmas gift... haha

[Megan Turnidge]

This year I saved up a lot of Amazon gift cards from Swagbucks. I got some great gifts for DD and DH and since we're super tight on money, my present also has to be bought using the gift cards. So, I need some ideas for myself on Amazon and is less than $125. haha

perfume- I always buy my perfume on Amazon. So much cheaper than the department stores!
books- all my swagbucks cards go towards books
cookware
giftcards for other places

Whaaaaa? I can turn my Amazon gift cards into gift cards for another store?! I never even thought of that before. lol I didn't even know there were anything other than Amazon gift cards for sale on Amazon.

[Julie Billingsley]

I only learned it last week LOL. My oldest son's Amazon wish list had gift cards to Regal Cinemas and other places.

I do have referrals. They rock. But you should be able to earn way more than 300 SBs in a year even without referrals!

Nope, no coffee... and I'm not really a book person. I don't read books all that often.

I don't have any referrals and get about 300 a month, more if I remember to use it when I shop online. LOL

music? An MP3 player?

[ColleenSwerb]

Hmmmm, you're difficult, LOL!
My referrals are useless and I still average 2-$5 amazon cards every 5 weeks or so.

Let's see. What about photography stuff? Any filters you want? A remote cable? Tripod?

All the photography stuff I want is $350+. I already have a tripod and a remote that I got earlier in the year with my SB cards. And I'm in the no filters camp. lol

I decided to just get a couple small things. I am highly allergic to nickel and lost my earrings a few months back so I ordered a set of nickel free studs and also ordered a a new pair of black pumps since I've been wearing the same black pumps to church and stuff for the last 5 years... I figured it was time for some new ones. haha I may pick out a new purse too since mine is too small.

I have 9 referrals, one is already maxed out and of the rest only one is active but I still get 1-2 $5 gift cards a month. So basically I spend my gift cards as soon as I get them and can never save them up lol!! That is awesome that you've been able to earn so many Megan!

So if it was me I'd go for the Kindle (I am a huge reader!!), an iPod or something photography related even if it's just something small like extra CF cards, a high speed multi-card reader, reflector, small backdrop stand, white balance card, umbrella kit or even a few books. The student/teacher version of Lightroom 3 is high on my list as well. Also I would love to have a Shark Steam Mop or something similar for my tile floors. Also what about a favorite TV series on DVD or some fun kitchen gadgets??

Those are awesome suggestions too! I need to keep that in mind. I'm saving up mine for another prime lens, but I get an itchy finger everytime I add new cards to my account balance, LOL!

Those are some good suggestions. I thought about some new kitchen stuff but couldn't make up my mind. There is just SO MUCH on Amazon that I get really overwhelmed sometimes by all the choices, kwim? I really thought about getting the new iPod nano but then was reading that the screen cracks really easily on it.

[Megan Turnidge]

Dude, I hit 98 referrals last night. hahaha I was wondering if I'd ever make it up to 100... think I will pretty soon. Of course, only about 6 are active at any time since people cap out and a really big number tend to just sign up and then do nothing.
