How would you spend £80 in WH Smith?

[BothArms19]

I have been given a voucher

Books
books
books

and…maybe a book

£80 will probably get you a couple of bottles of water and a newspaper.

Ours does still sell decent pens, but no staffed counter anymore

I’d say ask the bargain hunters on the Christmas bargains thread but they hate WHSmith since 20%off gate

Books books books, and maybe a few magazines for good measure. I already have an obscene amount of notebooks and pens but y know, if they had a nice one I might.

Board games and Lego (if they still do those), and the rest on books, and a nice big bar of chocolate. Oh, and some nice coloured pens. Maybe a magazine.

Do some Xmas shopping (books stocking fillers etc) then gift yourself something you actually want from the xmas budget 😆

It is a miracle that they are still going, if you ask me.

Not sure that you can use a voucher to buy another voucher. I would check how long it is valid and buy either books or if you need stationary then stick up on that. That kind of thing.

printer ink cartridges. then I'd use the money I'd saved on those to buy something I actually want.

I'd spend it on books and maybe a board game or two.

£80 wow. What a waste of £80.

it’s such an expensive and yet grubby shop.

I love stationary, magazines and books so I could easily spend it twice over. I would probably get a nice diary for next year, some good pens, a couple of books and some chocolate.

Note books, good quality pens, a few novels and maybe some chocolate and magazines. I could happily, easily spend £80 in there.

if you have kids I'd stock up on stocking fillers: story books, chocolates, felt pens, cute pencil cases, mini Lego figures, a favourite comic annual etc.

Not sure why this made me chuckle so much

I'd buy a couple of books and then stock up on birthday cards for the rest of the year. If there's anything leftover, a couple of books of stamps.

That's exactly what I would do.

The kids always get gifted WH Smith vouchers from a relative every Christmas. My son always buys a PlayStation gift card with his!

I'd do this!

Books, magazines, notebooks, pens, art stuff, jigsaws. Truck load of chocolate!

You won't need to use all the vouchers once.
I'd buy books and treat myself to a couple of magazines every month all winter. I don't usually buy magazines as I just can't afford them

You won't need to use all the voucher at* once

Jigsaws for me. Or you can use it to buy Christmas gifts. Or spend it on the giant bar of chocolate they always insist on offering at the checkout.

Some of the PPs are hilarious! Really made me giggle! Thanks!

May I ask OP who gave you the voucher? Relative? Work? Someone who hates you?

What was 20% off gate?!

I’d buy loads and loads of box files, lever arch files etc in a lovely pattern, to replace the random selection we have in the study. And maybe a matching pen pot or something like that .
