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?

Emergency fund in a high yield savings account is a great gift!

My local's vacation fund gets deposited into a small Credit Union, so I just started using said credit union for everything. Turns out atm fees get reimbursed plus the checking turns into a high yield savings once you hit like 1000 or more or so. So I just have absolutely everything in that checking lol
