Reaching minimum spend on CC

I need to hit a minimum of £2,000 in 3 months to get the new credit card bonus.. Problem is I don't usually spend that much money. So was wondering if people had any good ideas & tips on maximising spend on a short time frame. Obviously I don't want to spend money aimlessly... The only thing I thought about was buying gift cards for stores I would spend money on anyways in the next few months (e.g. grocery shopping)..

Any other ideas?
