What would you spend £200 on?

Have received £200 Christmas money so hoping to get to the sales sometime this week

I have enough clothes really (but always happy to buy more!) am a SAHM so live in mostly smart casual stuff. Actually, mostly skinnies/boots or mini skirt/tunic and thick tights. Have enough coats and boots to last me forever I think

So... What would you buy?

good fur gillet!

JaxTellerIsMyFriend · 26/12/2011 22:24

some new long boots.

OhThisIsJustGrape · 26/12/2011 22:28

Ooooh fur gillet sounds good - any ideas of where has nice ones?

Jax - I will be tempted by new boots but I really don't need any. Never let that stop me before though... :)

Keep 'em coming!

My plan (if there is anything left in the shops when I get there on Friday or Saturday) is to buy a pair of boots and a leather jacket. Otherwise, I'd blow it in Vivienne Westwood! Bag?

Well, everybody is raving about Babyliss Big Hair so I would get those for my pathetic, limp, frizzy hair!
I never buy expensive make-up (except my Estee Lauder Double Wear) so I think I would go for a beauty spree.

tethersjinglebellend · 26/12/2011 22:56

I'd buy this, I love it.

BTW Remus, I saw this as I was browsing...

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 26/12/2011 23:07

Fab dress - sort of terrifyingly 1970s sci-fi fab, but fab!

You can't tempt me with that jacket because I don't like the buttons on it - but I bet it feels gorgeous.

I've seen one in Oasis that has my name on it and will buy it if it's still there at the end of the week. Can't get to town before then.

Still can't find any boots I like though - grrr.

Housewifefromheaven · 26/12/2011 23:23

I'd put it towards a mulberry daria purse

FunnysInTheGarden · 27/12/2011 10:42

oh well, it was the lovely Joseph fur gilet

Fluffycloudland77 · 27/12/2011 11:12

Fake fur obviously yes?

A really nice leather jacket, I never had one before last years sales then I bought one in karen millen, £400 down to £100. Worn it loads.

A monthly eyebrow threading session, I have just had one and it soooo much better than waxing.

Earlybird · 27/12/2011 14:15

put it toward a special handbag.

Ifancyashandy · 27/12/2011 14:22

Black Auntie Viv Anglomania dress. I'd have to add about £100 but would, no question. I'd get one that can beworn day to night. I have a bright pink one and would love it in black so could wear it year round. The pink is too summery for winter and needs a fake, darker the better light tan.

madammecholet · 27/12/2011 14:37

Def a handbag.. 200 could get you a lovely one..:)

FunnysInTheGarden · 28/12/2011 10:15

try again actually it's real coyote! Over budget, but I love it.

kerpob · 28/12/2011 19:56

pair of custom made personally designed shoes from shoes of prey! Start at £120 up - search on google - great fun to play around with also in the "design your own" section!
