A laptop, gift cards, a router, honey products, and if the exchange rate keeps soaring I am buying some airplane tickets over at cheapair.com! I will also be buying a number of my Christmas gifts in btc But yes, most of my btc is saved. Just like my fiat from my job. It happens to reside in my bank acct.

FAP Turbo 2.0, the FOREX trading robot which also trades bitcoin! I had to link it because I love the name. Seriously, that is the real name.

I've spent thousands in the last year (value at the time of spending) on things I'd buy anyway. Beer, a lot of gift cards, given BTC to friends as presents and also betting and altcoins in decreasing order of usefulness...
Edit: Planning to visit Kreuzberg, Berlin next spring to spend more BTC in the real world, flight to be paid in Bitcoin and I persuaded a friend who owns a B&B there to accept it.
I feel very conscious about doing my little bit to keep the economy active and "Buying Bitish" (sorry).

I bought $100 worth of pre-1982 copper pennies from a random bitcointalk forum user, the name of whom I forget. I thought society might collapse and 10,000 copper pennies might be the start of a small eco-village economy; loldoomporn. This was $12/BTC times.
I bought a $60 double chambered bubbler glass piece from dankglass on these forums. Nice piece for $60. This was also $12/BTC times.
I bought a 1oz Gold Coin(2011 Canadian Maple Leaf). Got an amazing deal on this at the time; BTC was yet again $12/BTC and I paid 25BTC for the gold coin. Gold was $1700 spot back then. My friend didn't understand mining and didn't want to mine, but wanted BTC. He is very glad he made that deal now.
I bought a $60ish gift-pak of Bees Brothers honey-caramels as a birthday present for my mom. This was also around $12/BTC times.
I bought an Acer laptop Core i3 2.2ghz/4GB/500GB from bitcoinstore.com a couple weeks ago as a Christmas present for my mom to replace a decade old single core celeron lappy. This was $500/BTC times.
I got conned by some dick named Tom (the btcfpga.com guy) around this time last year who was supposed to send me 180GH/s worth of ASICs that never ended up existing. This cost me 225ish BTC ($2900 ASIC order, paid with BTC, when BTC was $12/BTC).
I cashed out at an exchange for the first time yesterday, after over 3 years of mining. I withdrew ~$30,000 USD so I can move out of my parents basement this coming spring and put a down payment on a condo somewhere in Colorado where I can't get arrested for smoking weed(currently on probation for distribution).
I have exactly 150 BTC left in cold storage, backed up in 4 different locations. I stopped mining a few months ago. The equipment that I wanted and paid for never existed (see 2 paragraphs ago). The coins I have left will not get touched for a long, long time.
Lesson? Love your mom, and don't trust assholes named Tom.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.
