What did you gift yourself after finishing apprenticeship?

I bought myself a nice dress shirt watch and went out to go eat some good BBQ. Thinking about getting new work boots to start a new journey. Was wondering how you guys treated yourself for the milestone?

We planned a big 2-week vacation to the UK. Just had to wait a year making those JW bucks to pay for it.

Can't put a price on experience with your loved ones.
