£50 Next Giftcard. What on earth to buy?

[debbiedowner84]

I walk into their store and want to run straight out. Is there anything at all worth buying?

I'm a 30 yo SAHM so workwear not an option. We don't need homeware either.

Help!

No help at all but I've got the same problem - £40 on a gift card and nothing in there I fancy. Thinking of buying socks......

Buy stuff for the kids in the next size up. That's what I did! Spoil yourself with some nice pjs etc - I like having nice 'cuddly' things when I don't know what to buy

Their online stock is much better than in store. They do decent basics - leggings, vest tops, knickers - and some of their shoes are pretty ok as well.

Do you need school uniform? Because that's pretty much it for Next. They do good school uniform. And knickers - the underwear's not bad.

They do Joules stuff online.

I realise this won't be to everyone's taste but I saw this in Red magazine this month and have got it on order. Will wear with skinny ankle skimmers, a suede cross body bag and wedges when the weather warms up:

I've got a £50 card from Christmas, I think I'll be buying the baby clothes with it (and using my cash to buy myself bits in h&m)

well £50 isn't much you could spend it on pants

I like their skinny jeans. What about sportswear? They do branded stuff online

I've just ordered this and this First time in ages I've bought anything from next, but some stuff seems ok this season.

DD (13) has a gift card and there's nothing she would wear in there.
Thanks for the online tip, she'll like this.

Dd aged 12 has the same problem. She asked sil for vouchers from other shops for Xmas & got £20 of Next. She can't find anything she likes & very little in her size.

they do girls branded stuff online

Agree - online is the way to go. I spent my gift card on a Superdry coat for ds. All the women's stuff is ghastly.

How much are those converse t shirts????!!!!!!

Dd would love that or the pineapple but its very pricey

Having said that, ginmakesitallok's dress is lovely and I realised I have that cashmere jumper! #hypocrite.

I'd suggest their 'Just Pink' perfume. I wore it for about 3 years straight I love the stuff. And then a handbag

You could sell it on Ebay if you are prepared to drop a little off the face value or unless you have to tell the giver what you bought with it!

The only thing I really buy from Next these days for myself is jeans - they used to fit me perfectly but are a bit more hit and miss these days. However, I really like their relaxed skinny jeans. They are much more flattering on me than true skinnies. I actually bought a pale grey pair today.

I agree that Just Pink perfume is lovely. It is a bit like Ralph Lauren Romance.

Ooh I'm joining in too - £50 Christmas gift card lying on the sideboard in no danger of being used any time soon!

Underwear. Their reed diffusers things?

God masses of branded sportswear. Perfect for gym

Perfume. Sportswear. Shoes (I like their casual shoes). Kids clothes.

just buy a bloody rug blimey are you really so hard to find something to spend £50 on? would understand if it were £500

I can recommend the reed diffuser and scented candle in 'blanc white light' (or something like that) it is amazing! Smells v expensive quite like tom ford. Scent lasts ages. Do it.
