Advice needed.

I presume that you are all like me, gadget lovers, and people who love new things (when you can afford them).

Well, I have a dilemma. I have been given $1000 for when i go to New York in February. What do I get?
In order to answer that, you might need to know what i have:

MacBook Pro with retina display
Canon 5D MKIII + 24-105 f/4 EF IS L lens
Sigma 50mm f/1.4 lens
Canon Speedlite 580EX
Carbon Fiber tripod- something off of ebay but a great thing. Robbie had the same one for a while.
iPad Air 64GB

So what do I get? It doesnt have to be camera related but I'm hoping you are my kind of people and would have ideas?

I have seen the Sigma 35mm f/1.4, within budget but would blow the lot. Then there is the 17-40mm f4, another great lens.

I then thought of getting more little things, like Gorillapod, the 600RT-EX SPeedlite, maybe the grip etc...

I shoot mostly, well, anything really. I dont have the lenses for sport, and rarely go to watch anything like that, so wider and faster lenses are better for me.

I thought of putting $300 more and getting an Macbook Air 13", but I dont need 2 laptops.

PLEASE, can you give me some suggestions?
 
I always shop at B&H, they are great there.

I can save it, but it is in $, and I cant change it back without loosing a lot in the curreny exchange.

I have a while to go yet, but I like to think ahead. I really would like something really wide, and the 17-40 would do this BUT the 35mm F1.4 would get a LOT of use, i live my 50mm but some times it just isnt wide enough.
 
Is there anything else people would recommend?

Is there anything accessory wise I am missing that people can think of?
