I don't really wear make up or perfume. Never paint my nails either!

A lot of meal deals.

SarahTancredi · 27/01/2020 21:47

Fancy shampoo?

Put it towards electrical items like a tooth brush or hair dryer?

Stock up on razor blades ?

Hair bands?

XanthesHeadband · 27/01/2020 21:51

I would like to buy something with it rather than razor blades and hair bands Grin I don't often get a gift like that.

Shame I was gonna suggest selling it to a mate with a baby who could use it to get points on nappies Blush

Sometimes they have photo departments with nice frames.

Sunglasses? I bet they'll have them in soon.

What about a hair apparatus/contraption/curler thingy?

ouch321 · 27/01/2020 21:59

Can't you just stock up on shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste etc etc. £30 doesn't go that far.

Then the £30 you would have spent on toiletries you can then spend in any shop you like.

Better than trying to find something specific to buy if you have nothing obvious in mind.

Nice soap? Doubt they'll have much to choose from but you might find Chanel or Clinique bars.
Electric toothbrush?
Was going to suggest trading with a friend who buys nappies, then using money to buy yourself something nice somewhere more interesting.

Something fro
Sanctuary Spa or Champneys range

TSSDNCOP · 27/01/2020 22:14

Clinique have just launched a new tinted moisturiser which I sampled over the weekend, I’d buy that or something fancy pants from Clarins.

BarbaraofSeville · 27/01/2020 22:35

Yes, use it for normal toiletries etc and maybe get a meal deal or two.

Spend the £30 on something you do want from somewhere else.

OvenGlovesWillTearUsApart · 27/01/2020 22:40

Put it towards a water flosser?

EnidButton · 27/01/2020 22:40

Do you like taking baths? I'd go online and make up a bath treats pack. Bath oil or bubbles, face mask, candle and chocolates.

Or what about a mini Bluetooth speaker www.boots.com/photo/new-in-photo/fresh-n-rebel-rockbox-pebble-peppermint-10272883

If you're very patient (I'm not!) and can hold on to it until September/October they'll have chocolates, food gifts, drink sets, candles, slippers, fluffy socks and stationery for sale ready for Christmas.
