Expiring miles, best option if not travelling?

I've got ~50k miles expiring very soon, with no intention of flying or travelling anytime soon.

I've been looking into non flight redemption options, but so far nothing seems particularly appealing or offers decent value.. KrisShop (only viable if able to collect with a flight and they virtually don't ship anything to Australia), no vrooms redemption need, Kris+ annoyingly advertises miles redemption for JB and Good Guys GC but is a lie and asks for cash payment at the checkout.

Is there a redemption option I've overlooked that offers reasonable value without needing to travel?

Am I pretty much resigned to transferring them back to Velocity and taking the conversion hit? or is there a better way to put them to use before they expire? (I dont see a use case for extending them out either)

Thanks all

I was in a similar situation and transferred them to my Accor account.
It was the best option I could find in a hurry and I can easily convert them into a cash saving on my next room.
Velocity may be better value but I can't see myself booking with VA anytime soon.
For me "best value" is a combination of transfer value and ease of use of the converted miles.
