Over the last four weeks, Barclaycard Freedom Rewards, in partnership with Mumsnet, have brought you Shop Talk: a weekly online talk show where a host of celebrity presenters discussed MNers' savvy shopping tips on everything from hitting the high street to stocking filler saviours.

Watch the highlights here:

Barclaycard say: "In our weekly chat show, Shop Talk, we tackled the big shopping stories that you are talking about in Mumsnet. Andrea McLean, Julia Bradbury, Ben Shephard and Ruth Langsford each took a turn hosting a show and were joined by three panellists, including a member of the Mumsnet team.”

We'd like to know which of the Barclaycard Freedom Rewards partners you'd like to win a £500 voucher for and why.

Everyone who adds their comments to this thread will be entered into a prize draw where one winner will receive £500 in vouchers to spend at their chosen Freedom Rewards partner.
You can check out a full list of the partners here.

I'd go for Debenhams. I'm rubbish at buying clothes online, and most of my wardrobe is older than my kids! Also, the kids will insist on growing out of their clothes, and with winter upon us, the ankle-flapping trouser look isn't very 'in'.

Amazon! We would have the best Christmas ever.

ataraxia · 23/11/2013 11:04

I think it has to be Amazon - they just have so much choice and usually competitively priced

perfectstorm · 23/11/2013 11:28

Action For Children. It's so close to Christmas, and it's wince inducing to realise how many have so little to celebrate. Be nice to know a little is headed towards a charity trying to improve that situation.

I'd love to have a voucher for Legoland Windsor as I'd love to take my boys there for a well deserved treat. They're wonderful boys and I'd love to give them a trip to remember. DS1 wants to go to Disneyland as all his friends seem to be going and unfortunately we can't afford to go at the moment (a common tale these days...).

Both boys love Lego and I think all thoughts of Disneyland would be well and truly behind us if they could go to Legoland!

Ooh, I'm torn between Amazon because I could get so much - books, toys, kitchen equipment, everything - or Haven to have next year's holiday booking done and dusted early! Tricky...

DragonPaws · 23/11/2013 12:31

Amazon as so much cheaper than anywhere else so would get so much more. Customer service has always been good too. Could get toys for DD, present for DH and books for me all from the one site.

10thingsihateaboutpoo · 23/11/2013 14:28

Crikey lots of choice, lots of places where £500 to spend would be amazing. I'd have to go for Lakeland. I lust after one of their heated airers which is raved about so much of MN, and we're still mostly using kitchen stuff from our student days (over a decade ago) so would be lovely to trade it in for some decent pans, crockery etc, and get some presents for family for christmas too.

They do lots of cooking at DD1's nursery so I could spend some of the vouchers getting them some new bits.

I love threads like this, daydreaming about how to spend a fantasy £500 is the sort of thing I really enjoy!!

ReluctantBeing · 23/11/2013 14:35

Oh I would love it for Evans. It's disheartening to be large and have such a limited choice in clothing anyway, especially more so when the clothing isn't cheap. £500 would mean a whole new, seasonally suitable and up to date wardrobe. Amazing!

Ida3456 · 23/11/2013 14:45

I would like to win a voucher for amazon. You can get just about anything in there, delivery is a bargain and very reliable and they always stock a range of stuff. I absolutely love the suggestions you get (clever marketing, of course!). At the moment I have my eye on many a bargain for Christmas on amazon. I would love to win!!

A Homebase voucher would be fab - so we could decorate the kids bedrooms which at the moment very bland and uninspiring. If there was a little left over - would love to tidy up the living room with a lick of paint to cover the pencil marks and grubby fingerprints!

DixieWest · 23/11/2013 17:53

Goldsmiths, so I'll the have saved up enough to buy this ring to propose to my DP with a little bit sooner.

MimsyBorogroves · 23/11/2013 18:51

Amazon would get my vote too.

It would mean I could sort out all of the birthday/Christmas presents for the boys for the next year, it would mean I could fill my kindle and I'd also be able to feed our animals for a good few months.

bigwigg · 23/11/2013 20:29

I would love a £500 voucher for Haven, my two little ones would love a caravan holiday near the beach somewhere but with being restricted to school holidays only now, I can't pay those prices! We went once when they were pre school age and they loved it.

fourmonthstogo · 23/11/2013 21:32

Amazon too-there is very little you can't get from there!

CaptainSinker · 23/11/2013 23:00

It would have to be M&S for me. Could get me, DP and DD some much needed clothes and top up the food shop with some treats.

Wow that is a great list to choose from. For me the most useful would probably be Amazon as there is such a lot of choice from gifts to groceries and everything in between. Plus the bargains that you can find are always fabulous, although the temptation to fill my kindle with 300 new books would be hard to resist!

Otherwise it would have to be Debenhams as my wardrobe is sorely neglected in favour of the children so I would be ecstatic to be able to update my clothes without feeling guilty and selfish.

speedyboots · 24/11/2013 08:23

I would love to win a voucher for boots so I could get some essentials for DS (eg pushchair, car seat) but also some lovely treats for me. Oh and maybe some christmas presents if I'm feeling generous.

hyenafunk · 24/11/2013 08:26

Amazon for me as well because it's so versatile and there are so many categories of different things available. Plus Amazon have the best deals and are very efficient with postage. I love Amazon.

OPeaches · 24/11/2013 11:00

Echoing lots of other posters, I'd love amazon vouchers too, just because amazon sell just about everything I could want!

Maiyakat · 24/11/2013 14:27

Has to be Amazon for the amount of choice - mundane things like nappies but plenty of treats too!

DoItTooJulia · 24/11/2013 15:13

I've enjoyed this series.

It would have to be an amazon voucher! I could treat everyone then!

Having said that a Pizza Hut voucher would be good, free pizza for aaaages!
