First, as someone who is also about to close on a house I think this is a great idea. Second, I have no idea what I'd buy. Probably just go on a shopping trip to pick up a few tops and a pair of shoes.
I keep going back and forth in my head between a paper white and a regular kindle! I think I'll bite the bullet and do the paper white.
Get the Paperwhite!!! I have a regular Kindle and I'm sort of hoping I break it on my beach vacation so that I can justify buying a Paperwhite. I'll use my current book light nearly all of the time with my regular Kindle because the screen looks so much crisper, but it protrudes from the case making it hard to carry in my purse. This is a definite FWP.

I am so excited, if we had sold a year ago we would've broke even or been in the hole. But now we'll come out ahead by about 30K. Thank you, Jesus!
Yeah, the market just started to rebound where our house is so we debated waiting but the rent we collect only covers half the mortgage so selling for slightly higher cancels that out. We will still see a sizeable check because it was a fixer upper we remodeled even though we bought in the summer of 2006. Congrats on the sale and have fun spending the $500!
If your skin tone is cool, get Naked 2. If you are warm toned, get Naked 1. I have and like both, but think Naked 2 works best with my cool skin.
I personally would buy a nice handbag. My latest obsession is Rebecca Minkoff. One bag would take up a big chunk of your $500, though, but it's worth it! I (heart) my MAB tote and my MAB mini.
I would definitely get an ipad if you don't have one. I have both the kindle and ipad and never touch the kindle.
We, by the way, are doing something similar. We are selling both our condo and our house in Santa Barbara (thank you god, the market came back) and it looks like we are going to end up making $50-$100K more than we had budgeted. We agreed that anything over what we expected to make would be spent on a decorator, installing a built-in BBQ area and bar in the backyard, and *maybe* a steam shower in the master bath. I am super excited!!!
Me personally? A new pair of boots. I ordered a pair of Frye Melissa Buttons in black from Amazon over the weekend but a brown pair was delivered instead. So I kept them and ordered another in black
