My kids and a couple of other relatives have filled my stocking with Michael's gift cards. Not sure of all the amounts, but I am thinking I have between $200 and $250 Canadian dollars to spend there. I know it is easy enough to blow money in a craft store on a lot of little things, but b/c this is a gift, I would like to get something larger and let them know what they gave me for Christmas.
If you had this windfall, what would YOU buy?
I have a Cricut Expressions 2 and a Sizzix Vagabond. But have been considering a Silhouette or the Brother Scan N Cut.
I also would really like a Minc, but not sure if M's sells those in Canada, or at least if they have them in the store I have most access to. And another thing on my wishlist is a 12" laser printer to go with the Minc so I could foil up whole pages, but pretty sure M's does NOT carry those...

I would get the best paper trimmer they had available after that I'm stuck.

I would use them to purchase Copic markers. If you're not interested in Copics (you should be, they are wonderful!), then the tonic guillotine trimmer, distress oxides, Polychromos.
And I'd be using a coupon with each purchase, even if I had to go back daily.

Custom framing pictures. Looks like you have a lot of scrappy stuff already. That’s what I’d do.

I would use it for an electronic die cutter like the Cameo.

If you want a bigger ticket item, I would probably go with the Cameo or the Scan N Cut.

I would get either a Cricut Explore Air 2 or a Silhouette Cameo 3. You could get better prices elsewhere, but since you have gift cards, why not use them? Have fun spending your presents!

hmmm- I like the idea of buying LOTS of things, so I'm afraid I'm not much help, lol! (with coupons if possible, of course) I'd buy some dies for the Sizzix, and that sort of things, or Copics / other art supplies. But if you're looking for larger / higher-dollar items, probably organizational furniture, or an Ott light, something like that.
Does M's do framing? I think they do-- do you have anything that you need / want framed? THAT can be insanely expensive...

I would try to talk to your store manager. There might be products they can special order that we haven't even considered.

I love my scan & cut. I don't use it as much as I should of course, but I do love it. I like that it does cut files and it can cut my stamped images.

Ms does framing. I see a lot of coupons for them.
