Safe, yes, but the safer a bond is, the lower-yielding it tends to be. Safest bond in the world is the US Treasury Bond, but it also has an incredibly low yield.

My brother has £700 in NS&I Premium Bonds, and he's made £50 from two £25. The money's been in for less than a year, and he's basically earned the equivalent of a century of savings account interest. Here's where you can read more.

Alternatively, you could look into Irish Prize Bonds, which have twice the yield and are based on the Euro, which has recently bottomed out, meaning it's set to rebound from the eurozone crisis. You'll win twice as many times on average, and the value of the actual currency will increase hugely over time. However, it has to be quite a long-term investment, otherwise you'll lose money by converting it to and from USD and euro all the time.

If you're really feeling lucky, go for Bitcoin. Not a bond, effectively a commodity, like gold, cocoa beans, pork scratchings or orange juice. Here's more info. Over the last couple of months, 1 BTC has tripled in value, but it's not too late to get into the game! While 1 BTC is currently equal to approximately 120 USD (as of 22nd April, 2013) there were times when Bitcoin was 10 dollars, then tripled in price to 30 dollars, and everyone was laughing at the people who bought at the 'top'. But who's laughing now?
The value of Bitcoin sometimes goes down at the weekend, sometimes during the week. When it drops, spend that $200 on BTC on an exchange like Mt. Gox (look around for an exchange which offers the best price). The value sometimes drops to $15 and rebounds right back up to $100 and sometimes $200, we're talking about turning that $200 into $2000. Once your BTC hits a peak, sell, wait for a drop, and buy again. So, you sell when your BTC holdings are worth, say, $2000, and buy when the value hits rock bottom again. Wait till the value rises...that could be your $2,000 turned into twenty thousand big ones. And you can keep going, and going, and going.

However, if you choose to get into the Bitcoin game, understand the following.

It will be a lot of work to monitor these charts and make sure you aren't losing out. If you miss a chance to buy or sell, don't worry, another one will come along next week.

People go crazy over this. Take care of yourself. If you are feeling overly stressed, cash in and take a break for a week or two. People take out student loans to buy into Bitcoin, and there are suicide hotlines on display in the major Bitcoin communities, because some people can get very carried away.

Be safe, don't be greedy.

Best of luck, whatever you decide!

Or buy a computer.

However they can be extremely profitable.

Beats are nothing more than expensive piles of dog poo to put on your ears. Skull Candies and Sennheisers are much better... but I prefer sticking with my earphones. They hurt my ears less and fit nicely

I would spend a little bit of the money on Monster, some lucozade, some crisps (chips for you americanos) and some chocolate, then i'd save up and spend it on days out with my friends every so often (which I don't do alot ). Then the money would go a long way when i'm older.. that's just what i'd do...
