Basically I have accumulated advantage card points over 15 years but the last 5 years I haven't shopped there. I was an idiot Abd never used the points on nappies when kids were younger. I've got about £80 on there but every time I go in there's never anything I need in there. What can I spend my points on? Any ideas?

Im looking for an effective use of the points. Not shampoos or hair dye etc. something useful for the family. Thanks.

Can you use the points to buy christmas presents, keep them for next year or the january sales if you shop ahead?

electrical hair items - strightners/tongs/hairdryer

Christmas presents?

If you have children under 6 their clothes can be quite nice.

Stocking up on toiletries, things like shampoo, toothpaste, shower gel that you always need.

If you need anything new like a hairdryer they sell those too.

Buying lunch when out in town?

Ooh thank you all! Will look online. I've fallen into that trap of accruing points and now not wanting to use them! Id love to go the sale after Xmas when they price down everything 75%. It's one day in late jan. I found it by accident one year and got some 3 for 2 pressies for pennies. Thank you everyone.
