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?

My first thought was clothes but then I realised how old my iPad is so I would probably replace my IPad……..or (if I had the space) the Ninja creamy.

Very specific to me. I would split into different purchases:

Three new bras, fitted (£110)

Two pairs of lovely PJs (£80)

Le creuset gravy jug (£40)

Black Chelsea boots (£150)

LSA coupe glasses (£50)

One pair of mid-sized gold hoop earrings

And I'd save the rest until I needed something

@BjorkdiditSorry but I don’t see JL as anything other than a normal shop and I’m certainly not middle class

It's not an everyday retailer for most people though because simply most Averagetown UK doesn't have a branch.
They are mostly a city department store. Unusual for most folks.

A new mattress. We last upgraded when I was pregnant. That baby is now ten!

Lovely pyjamas, a lamp and a coffee machine and id save some for bits and bobs throughout the year.

I’d update my iPad in a heartbeat.
Or failing that I would whizz around the beauty counters and buy the things I’d really love but don’t splurge on as much these days.
And for the poster who loves the D&G homewares I’m with you! So decadent, probably look gorgeous in a house in Sicily, completely OTT in my average semi but I wouldn’t say no.

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

My boss has it and every time I use it it makes me smile! It's very pretty!

Le creuset casserole dishes or a kitchen aid
