What would you buy with £500 of John Lewis vouchers?

I've very generously been gifted £500 of John Lewis vouchers (from different people!) this year.

I don't often visit JL, although there is one in my city, so I don't really know where to start. I don't "need" anything, and I'm not very good at treating myself. So, what would you buy if you were me?

A robot vacuum

OttersMayHaveShifted · 28/12/2025 16:03

A couple of Le Creuset casserole dishes in the sale. I just bought one!

A smeg dolce and gabbana kettle. A thing of beauty but you have to add £99.

Dreamerinme · 28/12/2025 16:04

I’d put it towards a dishwasher, or a lovely waterproof warm coat and a handbag.

Lego. Then some luxurious bedding. Then whatever else I fancied as I wandered the shop. You can take 2 or 3 visits to spend them. Enjoy!

WTAF?! It is quite beautiful, but £599 for a kettle?!

Yeah, I thought that.

Each to their own, but certainly wouldn't be my choice!

molifly · 28/12/2025 16:22

A really luxurious dressing gown and pyjamas. Some Ugg slippers, a new coat, some face cream, perfume and what ever was left i would save for a second trip.

Quincette · 28/12/2025 16:22

I’d buy some Dermalogica, my skincare of choice.

MaarvaCarassi · 28/12/2025 16:23

I’d be so sad if my £600 kettle broke 😄.

John Lewis has so many lovely things - I’d look online and fill my basket carefully over a week or so. I’d definitely try to buy things for me rather than for the house though.

IceIceSlippyIce · 28/12/2025 16:25

Honestly? I think id probably panic about spending thst much in JL. I've no idea where I'd even start, so probably wouldn't even start spending.

WhineAndWine1 · 28/12/2025 16:28

I would buy a the shark facial glow pro thingy and the face mask or a Coach Brooklyn 39 or a ninja coffee machine.

CheeriosOrFrosties · 28/12/2025 16:34

Loving all these ideas! Don't know if it's making it easier or harder to make a decision!

A lovely coat

Fontet · 28/12/2025 16:47

Clothes x

Twiglets1 · 28/12/2025 16:48

A laptop (if you need one) or would second Ugg slippers as one treat to yourself.

Really depends what you need - John lewis sell loads of things!

TheChosenTwo · 28/12/2025 17:02

I’d probably use them in Waitrose for a few weeks of food shopping and then just get myself what I wanted if and when I needed or wanted it with the money I hadn’t spent on food shopping!

BotterMon · 28/12/2025 17:04

Some really nice clothes in their sale. Classic pieces which won't go out of fashion (although I wouldn't care if they did as don't follow fashion just wear what I like and what suits me)

popupandsayhi · 28/12/2025 17:07

You could get a good quality coat from that or a bag. A one off quality item

msmillicentcat · 28/12/2025 17:27

A Dyson hair dryer? Some new clothes and shoes? Electric blanket? Laptop bag? New fancy suitcase/travel
bag? Cordless vacuum? I could choose many things 😂

EleanorReally · 28/12/2025 17:29

a dishwasher

evtheria · 28/12/2025 17:31

Either a laptop (or money towards an iPad mini or a Samsung Frame tv) or a wool coat and perfume

Needspaceforlego · 28/12/2025 17:33

Lamps for house
Bbq for summer
Lego
Trainers
New telly

Just keep eye on prices, they only price match against certain shops. And many things can be found cheaper elsewhere

happygertie · 28/12/2025 17:40

Mine would be new make up and perfume or a coffee machine

Blueeyedtiger · 28/12/2025 17:47

I bought a dehumidifier recently from them with a special laundry setting. It’s honestly been a revelation- so I’d recommend you get one of those
