Quick question - if you had £200 to spend, what would you buy?

[Sarcelle]

Just that. DH wants to buy me a Christmas around 200 quid. I am struggling. I have watches and bags, so no more of them.

I fancied an extravagant furry coat but they don't suit me.

Need some style and beauty suggestions.

Personally a capsule maternity wardrobe but I’m guessing that you don’t need that.

If there’s nothing you actually need or want I’d do a weekend break.

Any local activities you want to do? Yoga, Art classes etc

Good quality boots? The entire range of your favourite perfume (the shower gel, soap etc.)

Diamond studs, high end makeup, new suitcase, gorgeous nightwear/underwear. Purse, card holder, cashmere.

Indulgent www.joloves.com/fragrance-discovery-gift-experience-100ml.html or practical, I'd go for pair of fab boots or Parlux hairdryer or Hershesons hair styling tool.

Clinique smart Repair serum £71.

Vouchers for Boots, M&S underwear, Figleaves (underwear & bikins), River Island, Accessorize/ Monsoon, Zara.

GHD curl wand. £120.

How important is it (to both you and him) to have something to open on Christmas Day? Cos if it was me, I would give him a big hug then hold my nerve and stalk these into the late January sales:
This
This
or this although the colour might not work for me.
Or this although it will probably still be over budget.
Or these

**tierraJ Are the GHD wands any good?

Botox

Don't bother with diamond studs for £200. They'll either be tiny or really poor quality.
If I had £200, I'd buy decent jeans.

A good quality pair of boots and a cashmere jumper

Botox.

I'd wait for the sales and get a Ryan Roche cashmere sweater. Amazing quality and supporting a small business.

Some good boots or plenty of nice underwear

Cashmere scarf. Already have a couple but I could always do with another. Hush in leopard print, or Hush in star pattern. Or Aspinal, in burgundy.

A silk scarf, or maybe two.

Jewellery. Probably Georg Jensen.

Purse, most likely from Mulberry. With a key ring to match.

Pompom hat and scarf from Amelia Jane.

Timberland boots.

Wool cape, from Barbour (I do love a cape).

Blazer, from Barbour or maybe Joules.

Red tote bag from Aspinal.

Sigh. So many things.

I’d go with a cashmere dressing gown (cold house) or cashmere leggings.

Pay off some of my debt. Easier in the long run than just splashing it and still have some debt. (I don't have loads- around £400)

Oh, oh! A leather skirt in burgundy.

Or a pair of brogues or similar from Russell & Bromley (might have to wait for the January sales for that one).

Weekend cosy cottage and hiking

Botox. But tricky as I'm planning on it in the new year and don't want DP to know. So maybe boots. Or Hourglass stuff.

Good pair of dressy boots. Hobbs, maybe?

Mongolian wool scarf, navy. Can’t remember where I saw it but it was lovely.

Merino wool dress.

@LadyOfTheCanyon secret Botox! I like it😁 hope it goes well in the New Years

Thanks all. Goes off to investigate. But no Botox or maternity wear!

Foreo.

The GHD wand is good, my hairdresser uses it but I've been given a similar Remington wand that my sister doesn't use & it seems good so far, not sure how much it cost.
