What do you want it to do for you? Help fund a car (just put it into a savings account)? Help purchase a home (put it into fixed income, bonds or CDs)? Or keep you comfortable when you retire (put it into a good mutual fund)?
Generally speaking, mutual funds are a good balance for novice investors if you don't need the funds for a few years. I've had good results (>10% compounded annually) with funds that have a good track record and fund manager over 10 years. Best performers for me are HFCSX and BGRFX.
A little more modern, and I'm not sure what the offerings are in Euros, are peer lending sites like Lending Club.
