This is actually kind of difficult. We don't have any credit card debt and $1000 is not enough to make any significant dent in my car loan or our mortgage. I don't really "need" anything in particular that I don't already have or wouldn't go out and get anyway (this is also why I'm apparently hard to shop for).

$1000 would also not be much more than a small down payment on the next phase of our home remodel so that's probably out as well.

I suppose I'd put it toward the balance of our upcoming cruise (Disney Magic, eastern Caribbean, October) or alternatively take a weekend and go find some snow.
