I received £45 voucher from work for Christmas. It can be used in various shops, so my plan is to spend it in the supermarket on normal groceries and then buy myself something for the same value elsewhere.

So what would you buy yourself as a present with £45?

New underwear! Or nice pyjamas , from marks

VioletLemon · 24/12/2022 18:00

Oh that's lovely, I think I'd get something everyday but better quality than I'd usually spend. Good gloves, a hat, nice cashmere socks. Boring, I know!

You don't need to spend right now, tuck away and when you see something you would like - purchase

A lovely joint of meat to roast and then enjoy the leftovers in other meals.

Folklore9074 · 24/12/2022 18:03

A scented candle or good bath stuff

PAFMO · 24/12/2022 18:05

Some lovely new pyjamas from M&S and a hot water bottle cover to match.

Xmas Grin maybe not, I'm vegetarian. I could buy a years supply of lentils though.

Preloved Sezane sweater from Vinted. Lovely fuzzy alpaca beanie from any of the shops that sell them. A couple of paperbacks and a fancy box of chocolates to eat all at once while reading them.

Gel nails

ImAvingOops · 24/12/2022 18:28

A nice eyeshadow palette or a lovely lipstick and a book.

MrsWidgerysLodger · 24/12/2022 18:44

Cyberjammies have a sale on. I'd be buying nice jamas!

GailordFocker · 24/12/2022 18:48

Nice chocolate, candles and a book
Indoors plant
Pretty diary/notebook / stationary
Epsom salts, hair and face masks
Tea towels, a nice big mug or thermal travel mug, pretty bowls or plates. I'm not very exciting 😆

i got given a £30 gift voucher for specific stores, and bought a new clothes aider as mine had broken 🤣 boring I know, but if I spent it on something else, I’d still have to had bought one anyway

baSIix · 30/08/2023 20:40

PJs, a candle & a nice mug. Or some slippers. Possible a book.
A bit boring but the season is changing and the evenings are getting darker. Nothing as cosy as some new pjs and a nice autumnal (if that’s your thing) candle.

Gardengirl108 · 30/08/2023 20:57

I’d sign myself up for a one day craft or jewellery making course.

hattie43 · 30/08/2023 22:17

Lego

@baSIix

9 months later, I'm sure she's spent it by now 🤪

but I guess we can all start again!!

£45 just for me... hmmm....

Tonight, I'd like to buy an Acer tree for by the front door.

NeedTheSeaside · 30/08/2023 22:28

@hattie43 I love Lego. But I'd need s lot more money!!

LadyBird1973 · 30/08/2023 23:36

I was going to post on this thread, then realised I already had - a year ago when it was posted (have name changed)Grin

hattie43 · 30/08/2023 22:17

Lego

A good choice.
I've got my eye on the "Up" House. £45 should just about cover it.

Saw this on here the other day

I know this thread is old , but right now I'd get myself a cartilidge piercing (done with a needle at the tattoo studio) titanium stud .
Then I'd smile every time I looked at it .

DaisyWaldron · 02/09/2023 04:38

A bottle of Olverum bath oil for £43.50.
