In the ancient Indian scripture Mahabharata there is a passage which says "That person who lives in their own home, eats and lives simply and has no debt to anyone; they are truly happy in this world".
Therefore I think the key to real happiness is to simplify! Forget the mad notion that wealth equals happiness, live moderately in all things and own no debt to anyone.
How much unhappiness is there due to debt? The "have it all now, pay later culture is an insane course which our society promotes and praises. More and more material things will not make us happy. Happiness cannot be brought.

Have you heard about the Christmas Goat program? You can "buy" a goat for a poor family in a third world country. The goat provides milk & cheese for the family and then, eventually, a few good meals.
Buy a goat in the name of everyone who answers this question, we'll feel good, and some poor family in Africa's life will be just that little bit better.

I cannot think of one thing that would make me feel any happier or more complete than I feel right now. So, my answer would be, I would buy whatever is needed to assist in eradicating hunger and poverty around the world. That would make me really happy.

Nothing in this world could buy the happiness that my life brings to me right now. I wish all of you the same.

A fully stocked up and spacious nuclear bunker. I would be happy in the knowledge that I would have a chance of surviving a nuclear holocaust.

Nothing at all, I am happy with what I have in my life and no amount of money could make me happier.
