If you had £100 to spend in John Lewis...

... what would you buy? I unexpectedly received £100 John Lewis vouchers as recompense for a minor inconvenience Smile. I feel I would like to use them to treat myself (I rarely have £10 spare to do this, so to have £100 feels like all my birthdays have come at once!).
I've not a clue what to spend them on though, so I'd love some ideas.

Apologies havnt RTFT - doesn’t seem to want to load!

We frequently receive JL vouchers (the go to Christmas/birthday gift of elderly relatives) and I tend to ‘treat’ us to move Waitrose food/drink.

If you rarely have money spare then I’m guessing you weekly shop isn’t full of luxuries? PLUS this way it lasts longer.
Every time you have a crappy day or need a pick me up go and buy yourself a really nice item (for me it would be pudding) from Waitrose!!!

That £450 candle causes skin rashes! Shock

Tefal saucepan set with removable handles - so much easier to store.

I love gin and chocolate but I wouldn't spend this money on it.

If you're really short of money, OP, you could spend £10 or £20 at a time as a treat whenever you're in town.

Buy the kids' school uniforms so I could spend £100 on myself elsewhere 😊

@NaturalBornWoman

The lamp that you've chosen is beautiful!
Anyone who doesn't agree is jealous Wink Crunchymum?

Thank you! My husband said it's 'pretentious' Hmm

I'll go with "unique" if that's OK? Shock

I have never been into a John Lewis store ever, so would have to give a voucher to someone who shops there.I do know a relative who shops there, and she is always buying stuff there, and she has now got more John Lewis stuff, than the shop has.

A nice mug, teapot and saucer

Handbag or watch for me, things you will enjoy and look at every day.

A toaster and a couple of steaks and a cheesecake

I love the lamp! But won’t it be a dust magnet?

New towels! Big fluffy bathsheets with different colours for each family member so I can work out who is always leaving them sopping on the floor.

@Theimpossiblegirl Oh now there's a thought Gin. We don't have a nearby Waitrose so I completely forgot that you can spend JL vouchers there.
