My daughters kindly gave me £75.00 of garden vouchers for Christmas. I know what I want but I wonder how members would spend them?

Spent most of mine already!
All went on adding more winter colour ( bedding plants), some saved for when I see some Hellebors (sp?) that I really like.
We have a lot of bigger shrubs, so decided to add more smaller plants to brighten up our winter garden.
I would like something on my patio to give me the sound of running water. I would probably hide it under the ivy as anything within my price range tends to be a bit or a lot naff!
I've spent half of it already
A visit to a GC this am got 3 bags of AB's peat free, 3 bags of JI seed compost and new gloves for OH and myself to replace the ones we destroyed over the last few months of shredding.
I might spend the rest on bird food
In the sticks near Peterborough
I would spend it on my spring and summer bedding plants and compost
Verdun.......is that you......it is isn't it!
Wow.......tell me how do get to grow donuts in your garden?
This is like a gardeners Question time question, When I retired in October, my friends apart from some lovelly veg seeds, Tulips, gardeners Hand cream and my favoriteBody Shop Hemp Hand cream gave me £90 worth of the vouchers. Torn between wheelbarrow we need, cold frame I NEED! Buy something you like or need, if they are valid several years (like mine) you have plenty of time. Something will come to mind. Donuts, dont like them, some grew in my kitchen Thursday, about 4 I think, Grandkids had a bite each out of different ones, then they lay on my worktop and PC desk leaking. Why do men buy multipacks of stuff that no-one wants!
I think if I had vouchers I might look for plants that I can split to propagate or take cuttings. Maybe buy something small each month of the year so that you have a gift that reminds you of the givers all the year round.
Or maybe a bird box with a camera?
