Somehow I have a 50 Dollar gift card to Sweetwater.
Don't worry. They've let me know about it.
I was gonna just buy cables but maybe someone out there has a 50 dollar or less great idea!
I play guitar, bass, synths and do a little home recording
What ya got!

Yeah, probably several sets of strings. It's boring, but I'll actually need and use them unlike a Joyo Phaser or whatever.
A co-worker gave teammates $10 gift cards out a few years ago (thanks?). I bought as many bags of Dunlop picks as I could to stay under the limit. I'll be set with fresh picks for a while.

In general? Vinyl records.
Specific to Sweetwater? Hmm... *looks on Sweetwater*
...I'd probably buy the best headphones that $50 can buy.

Yeah. You are probably right. I've looked at a little gear here and there and almost always stop myself. I don't need anything. I've got everything I need and have stuff I don't even touch.
The only purchase I see myself eventually making is something to move away the digital "four track" and record directly to a computer. And to be honest the only reason I'd do that is to save a little time

Would you find something like this useful?

They have used shit now. I'd probably just look around at the used pedals every once in a while until I found something that looks fun/stupid for less than $50

A super nice set of La Bella flatwounds. Seriously you won’t believe how good they are. I bought a used bass with them on and, damn.
