It’s a bit sad but they have some really nice Christmas doormats I would probably buy one of them and some retinol eye cream!

ihatethecold · 30/11/2020 16:37

ooh, retinol eye cream sounds interesting. what brand would you get?

I did precisely this last week, and bought some star-shaped led fairy lights and a lovely cushion with a dog on.

I don't know. I've had £70 in vouchers sat on the side most of this year. DH suggested we spend it on our Christmas food shop at Waitrose.

Failing that I would probably put it towards a pair of Sweaty Betty leggings.

Some wireless ear buds. It's so nice putting them in to listen to music as I potter round the house doing chores or laundry. Also use them to workout.

I would sell it.

Sparklingbrook · 30/11/2020 16:45

Straight to Waitrose for Christmas food.

copperoliver · 30/11/2020 16:46

Pjs to snuggle up on these cold winter evenings. X

I very rarely end up spending vouchers etc on myself. Normally it would go towards a present of some kind for someone else.

This I would buy as much food as I could for the freezer.

ihatethecold · 30/11/2020 16:57

I'm going to spend it on myself. I have got the voucher by spending over the past year through a cash back site, (Quidco)

I have worked really hard providing MH therapy throughout lockdown so im happy to have a reward.

@ihatethecold haha, sorry!

We had one we put towards a dualit toaster we would never normally have spent so much on.

RubyFakeLips · 30/11/2020 17:15

I've had a few of those this year and I bought:

Own brand sheepskin slippers (the £49 mules- had a pair previously and as long as you but in a dark colour they lasted me 3 years)
Frederic Malle 30ml Perfume, was on a reduction
Jigsaw Pyjamas
Charlotte Tilbury Instant Palette

RubyFakeLips · 30/11/2020 17:15

Or what about a silk pillowcase?

ihatethecold · 30/11/2020 17:15

I bought a toaster last week

Wine from Waitrose. 🥂 🍷

A lovely candle or diffuser

SkiingIsHeaven · 30/11/2020 17:22

Something for the kitchen

ihatethecold · 30/11/2020 17:26

I am eyeing up a Neom diffuser oil. I have 2 already and I really like them.
