Anyone have recommendations? Given that it is such a small amount, does it make sense to buy MQDs? Home is OKC.

Thanks in advance.
AFAIK DL doesn't sell MQDs and there's no apparent way, "legal" or not, to purchase them from someone else. When DL sold MQMs (at very high personalized prices) last year, you did get MQDs for the purchase and the MQMs did rollover. Eat in a really good restaurant somewhere.

When not take a fun little cheap weekend trip somewhere? Depending on where you're located, a day of Christmas shopping in NYC, Boston, Chicago, or San Francisco could be nice. Fly to Baltimore and visit the aquarium. Go south for an afternoon of warm weather or even a day on the beach.
