Imagine you have a voucher pop through your letterbox for £50 to spend in Boots… what would you buy?

Grannyben Tue 25-Jan-22 19:51:52

A Marc Jacobs Daisy Perfume set £48.

I would buy some of my favourite Benefit.

I some some because £50 wouldn't stretch. So, so worth every penny.

Max factor lipfinity lipsticks, they are often 3 for the price of 2.

La Roche - Posay moisturiser

I give, via a neighbour, to my local food bank. They’ve requested toiletries for a while now, so I’ve started to get stuff from Boots, using my points towards it. I’d buy a bumper load with the windfall voucher.

Kim19 Mon 24-Jan-22 13:32:22

I'd have a mixed bag of health supplements, medications and lipstick.

Perfume. ?

Ali08 Mon 24-Jan-22 13:02:09

I'd definitely have to have a browse as I've not been in Boots (I'm a hermit) for such a long time!
Maybe some perfume, possibly body washes like from their slightly pricey range. I'd take my daughter to help me choose!

^ This sounds good to me. A lovely thought.

Jaxjacky Mon 24-Jan-22 11:44:05

I’d see what my local food bank needs, then spend it on toiletries/sanitary goods, whatever they’re short of.

Is that a lavender pillow spray GrandmaSeaDragon ?
My DD uses that too as she is not a good sleeper.

Shinamae Mon 24-Jan-22 11:14:55

I would buy Saint Ives exfoliating products and Clinique clarifying lotion..

Millie22 Mon 24-Jan-22 11:09:15

Make up or Sanctuary bath products.

GrandmaSeaDragon Mon 24-Jan-22 11:03:49

What a lovely surprise! I’d go for Champneys sleep spray (can’t find it in our local branch at the moment) and then top up with my regular No 7 products.

AGAA4 Mon 24-Jan-22 10:59:50

My first thought was to stock up on my sensodyne toothpaste and oral b toothbrushes but on second thoughts it would go on some expensive shower gel and body lotion.

Germanshepherdsmum Mon 24-Jan-22 10:50:19

A bottle of Anais Anais.

Grandmadinosaur Mon 24-Jan-22 10:02:37

I would buy Clinique make up too.

dogsmother Mon 24-Jan-22 09:46:40

No 7. Creams and serums.

midgey Mon 24-Jan-22 09:31:39

Tights!

harrigran Mon 24-Jan-22 09:30:49

I would give it to DIL to use for GDs, with three females in the house they get through a lot of products.

glammanana Mon 24-Jan-22 09:30:08

Any of the Soap & Glory bath & body products I just love them they are also often on offer 3 for 2.

TillyTrotter Mon 24-Jan-22 08:52:27

A travel hairdryer, Clarins natural deodorant spray (the blue one, Eau Ressourcante) , a pastel lipstick and matching nail varnish.

kittylester Mon 24-Jan-22 08:35:49

5 bottles of my hair thickening shampoo. sad

M0nica Mon 24-Jan-22 08:16:27

I would probably pass it on to DGD or DD.

I buy very little in Boots.

janeainsworth Mon 24-Jan-22 08:03:38

I use No 7 skin care products so would buy those.

It seems expensive but they usually have a 3 for 2 offer on, and the Advantage points add up which makes it more affordable than it might appear at first sight. It all lasts ages as well so the cost per week isn’t that much.
3 for 2
