Delicious baked goods for me
Treats for the kids
Reading material
Toys for the kids
Friday cleaning help
If there was anything leftover, I'd get shabbos takeout. If not I'd do a super simple menu.

I'd get some baked goods, a book or three, and a new toy for my daughter. Possibly a bottle of wine for the hubby.
I don't like takeout food but maybe I'd buy more things like more fresh fruit or ices but I don't think that's where my mind would've went.
Didn't think of clothing but I doubt I would've rushed out to buy something if someone gave me $ for a specific shabbos.

Cleaning help, reading material, the nice disposable dishes so I don’t have to clean up after.

For now (personally) I'm done with toys and games for kids. But a Shabbas nosh is nice idea, something they usually want but, not now lol.
I'd maybe get for the toddler. For a boy, animals and/or cars, for weekday, toy that sings and lights up.
For girl, carriage and doll, kitchen center, dishes set.

We just bought outfoxed, a cute board game for my similar ages kids.
I’m assuming you already have magantiles if not I’d personally take all the money and invest in 2 or 3 sets.

flowers $10-20 max
new linen is nice (if you need, and have closet space)
new robe/outfit if it makes you happy
babysitter/cleaner - $50 if you like that

I would put the remaning on the side, for a getaway another time, hopefully soon.

Poconos hotel 1-2 nights

Vacation or new linen are lasting joy/ experiences.

I dont like take out, and its easy for me to cook. adn love the outcome.
Very Happy

As a family of 3, $300 would go very far!
Cleaning help, caterer food, fancy chocolate:)
