I'm a sucker for nice pens. I'd probably blow it on fountain pens or ink. Or nice paper.
If you live alone and don't have a couple of nice kitchen knives, but want to cook for yourself and save some dough/learn a new skill/whatever, you could always pick up a decent quality knife set. It's not the nicest set in existence, but it's solid quality and a good variety of tools.
Oh wait you're 15? Uh... I dunno.

Thanks for your input. I'm actually helping my fiancee set up our wedding registry and wanted to see what knives we should select. Most come in the kind of collection you're talking about, but most are pretty expensive from what I was able to find. We're newbies to cooking, so definitely want to take into consideration that we'll still need to feel our way in the kitchen. But in all honesty, I wanted to get something that was at least decent and reputable since either way I was seeing, a set of knives was going to be pricey regardless. I decided on this one, since although a bit pricey, it includes all the essentials plus some extras that when averaged out, come to less than $20/knife. Plus it's Wusthof, which according to my research here and online, is a reputable and high-quality brand.
When I was looking at buying the essential 3 knives from a brand like Wusthof, Henckels or Victorinox, the cumulative price would've been the same if not more than the $130 for the set above.
edit: after doing some research, looks like their Gourmet line is their lower-end line, with assembly being done in China rather than Germany. They are also stamped and not forged. I may actually reconsider purchasing this set now.
