So today is my 18th birthday and in the mail I recieved a 25$ gift card from a loving family member

So basically I have no idea what to do with this thing / how to spend it... and I am looking for a good 25$ investment. If anyone has any ideas... I am really not looking for anything too specific... Just really something awesome.

I am:
An Otaku
A huge kemonomimi lover
A Steam user
An Ebay enthusiast
An amature photographer
A Japanese Playstation store user (PS Vita/PS3)
18 years old

I also play Phantasy Star Online 2 if that can work out in any way?

If someone is smart enough to find an amazing investment that doesn't use up all of the money$, I wouldn't mind paying the good samaritan back with a small gift using the remainder of the funds on this prepaid visa but if you do find a good use for all the funds... you will remain in my memory forever as someone I owe a good deed too :)

I don't really know what you can use 25 USD for... I mean, I have to earn a load to pay off all my liabilities and 25 USD seems so little to me now days...

For someone around your age, I would advise you using it to help yourself or even enhance your lifestyle. Or you could get something that you will use in life to make life easier, I suppose. Depending which country you're from, it can be a lot or very little to be honest.

And you can always pitch in more money if you combine it to buy something else with it. I did that to buy someone a new keyboard and mouse combo to enhance their livelihood and reduce their chances of injury due to low ergonomics.

Spoiler: Personally...

25 USD is only enough for me to go to the city and back twice with a full day fare. Excluding everything else that comes with the expanse going back and forth.

I like @HatoriTakaya idea :).
If me, i'll leave it in the visa card, maybe funding my paypal account to further use :).

A better idea than my last: Use your card on J-List, see if they sell kemonomimi themed books/magazines.

Here's another addition for Otaku Fetishies. If you want a Anime Mouse Pad. Go contact the person making it in Doki Fansubs.

Here's the Doki Anime Mouse Pad Link

Holo is planning to make them according the person request as long they paid it in advance. You can find more details here too. Have a look and decide if this is want you want. 6 Euro Dollars for a flat Mouse Pad with a Anime Design. With Boobs on it will cost a bit more.
