Iv been given a voucher for M&S. The clothes are not my style so what else do you recommend I buy?

Food
Underwear

PawPawNoodle · 30/12/2020 19:10

Shoes, scarves, a food shop with things I wouldn't normally buy, booze.

AdditionalCharacter · 30/12/2020 19:10

What's your AIBU?

The bedding is very nice from there. Or buy food, fill your freezer with meat.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 30/12/2020 19:10

Some good beauty ranges available, plus nice bedding etc. Aveda is available at m & S for example. And pants. You can always have new pants :)

I used to find Marks and Spencers great for comfortable but work appropriate footwear. I like the hats and gloves they do. They sometimes have gorgeous night wear. Not impressed with the bras. I like some of the knitwear. Can you use the voucher online? I find online has a better range.

This was me last month! Work gave us vouchers. I’m 23, so their clothing is not my style and I no longer need office attire since the pandemic hit.

However they have some amazing homeware! I bought:

  • Prosecco glasses
  • white cast iron pan & roasting dish
  • plush white towel set
  • cream teddy fleece dressing gown
  • grey teddy fleece fitted sheet
  • plants
  • photo frames & general decor

Also loving the Aveda damage recovery! They sell brands like Murad and Origin too.

Wensleydale and carrot chutney sandwiches.

triceratops12 · 30/12/2020 19:18

Pyjamas, underwear, food. They also sell some good beauty bits, branded.

PickAChew · 30/12/2020 19:18

Jeans, knickers and wine.

katy1213 · 30/12/2020 19:19

Grocery shop and divert the money to something you actually want.
Wine.
Perfume - limited, but you might find something you like.
Flowers.

PickAChew · 30/12/2020 19:19

And yes, their branded beauty is great.

monkeysox · 30/12/2020 19:21

Food. Autograph boots. Not underwear as it's shite.

Needallthesleep · 30/12/2020 19:21

I love the Restore hand wash

SilenceOfThePrams · 30/12/2020 19:22

Food. Towels. Or sell it to a friend with children for school uniform.

JohnMiddleNameRedactedSwanson · 30/12/2020 19:24

Beauty. They have some excellent brands.

buckeejit · 30/12/2020 19:24

My pil gave me £100 for M&S one year & it was great-spent it in the sales & bit by bit through the year. Was fab

LibrariesGiveUsPower45321 · 30/12/2020 19:29

Pants, bedding, and food

Ticklemynickel · 30/12/2020 19:32

Homeware, PJ's, tights & pants, boxes of biscuits.

Mousemay · 30/12/2020 19:33

I love the lavender sleep spray marks do. Every time when I change my bed I spray the pillows and headboard with it. It is lovely! Also I would buy boots and underwear/sleepwear.

littlepattilou · 30/12/2020 19:36

@Thedarksideofthemoon30

Urgh what a shit shop to get a £100 voucher for! Confused

I would probably get food and booze tbh. Can't think of anything else I'd want to buy from there.

cyclingmad · 30/12/2020 19:39

Food! I'd use it all on food then the money you normally spend on food you can buy what you really want

beautyboxaddict · 30/12/2020 19:39

Their cosy lounge wear range is great. Or beauty stuff. Or food/booze.

I would buy this coat in the pink colour:

I tried it on in the shop and it fit beautifully. But I already got a new coat for Christmas so reluctantly hung it back up.

M&S tights are the best I’ve ever bought.
