So if you had £300+ to spend in Selfridges, what would you get?

I am very lucky to have vouchers for Selfridges and I don't want to waste them!
Any suggestions?

Put it towards a beautiful coat
If you need one- really nice ones are so expensive. Otherwise jeans and shoes- that will be £300

A selection of really beautiful Christmas decorations that will last your lifetime and beyond.

Or a small but nice rug.

Actually yes a beautiful coat will last far longer than jeans/tops. I was given a classic black wool (wraparound belted) jaeger coat about 8 years ago & it still looks amazing.

Designer jeans are getting a few votes!

I have lots of pairs of boots (and jeans, though not designer!), but maybe another pair wouldn't go amiss!

I did think about a coat, but I already have a few, including one which is very nice!

A good, well cut blazer.

I'd save them for the sales as selfridges are very generous with reductions. Fab handbags, half price beauty on the first day, designer jeans for under £50 a week later if you hold your nerve for further reductions.

It entirely depends on your situation.
Clothes for you? A splurge on a nice bag? An evening outfit? Jeans? Or a few Christmas presents?

I would get marant dicker boots, or a pair of flats from Chanel or maybe a nice scarf, new wallet?

Or I would keep hold on to the vouchers, till there is a sale going on, and get one or two really great items,

Book a personal stylist session, see what they suggest & hold out for the sales for the items that you like.

They are gorgeous. I've had mine three years and they are immaculate. Cost per wear....

Never been to selfridges but if I had that kind of money to spend, I would buy a Michael kors bag, nice watch, leather gloves, beautiful scarf, some nice makeup and clarins skin care.

Not jeans, for God's sake.

Boots, or a handbag.

Wait for the sales - Selfridges are the best discounters - most things will be 50% discounted at least.
