Default 1000 bucks in new tools. what to get?

well my laptop broke a couple months ago and dell delayed my order 4 times so I had a lot of time to realize I was doing fine without a laptop so I cancelled my laptop to buy tools instead!

I'm mostly interested in making furniture. projects I would like to do are a platform bed frame with drawers in it. a liquor cabinet. a kitchen table. a computer desk, coffee table, etc

so far my power tools are bosch jig saw, dewalt corded screw gun, and sears circular saw, random orbital sander, cordless drill.

for hand tools I have things like wrenches, sockets, screw drivers, etc.

I don't have any wood working specific hand tools like hand planes, chisels, scrapers.

I want to get a router. I was thinking about the bosch combination with plunged and fixed bases.

I was also thinking about a sliding miter saw since I don't have a table saw.

I was also thinking about maybe getting a hand plane also but I don't really know anything about them so I don't know what to get there.

so any suggestions as to what I should spend my money on to improve my wood working tool collection would be great.

thanks
Kyle
