What to spend £500 on in John Lewis?

1. I’d save it, and then when my wife decides she wants some overpriced shite for the baby I’d lunge in and insist I get it.

2. It’d be a coffee machine for me, I think

3. Food shops at Waitrose. Treat yourself.

4. Jesus some of these answers are fucking terrible.

   Buy something you want but would never buy for yourself.

   It’s free money, use it for treat(s) for yourself.

5. Easy. [A new kettle](https://www.johnlewis.com/smeg-dolce-gabbana-klf03dgbuk-mediterraneo-electric-kettle-1-7l-blue-white/p111016492)

6. Whatever you decide to buy make sure you

7. No point buying stuff you don’t need if nothing takes your fancy.

   In which case, save it for Christmas and Birthdays to get presents.

8. £600, so a tad over budget, but these RoboVac’s are life changing.

9. I was literally just adding a grand worth of booze to a JL wish list (I’ll never buy it, it’s just necessary to enter a competition).

   So, champagne and single malt whisky is my answer.

10. Lego, the razors crest

11. Some great headphones.

12. A portable air conditioner for the summer

13. Bedding. Unless you have good stuff already, theirs will almost certainly be an upgrade and you spend a third of your life in bed.

14. Coming into summer – look at their garden furniture / bbqs etc

15. Lego!

16. Leopard print luggage and some Old Spice aftershave. I just woke up is it still 1974 ?

17. Some really nice bedding and bath towels, that you’d never normally splash out on. Massively improve your quality of life.

18. I can’t lie, I’d spend it on Tech. Probably a playstation portal and a soundbar

19. Le cruset cast irons. They last a lifetime.

20. A Le Creuset dutch oven! Will last a lifetime.

21. Make up and beauty products is what I’d spend it on.

22. I bought a dehumidifier with a free voucher I had for John Lewis.

    One of the best purchases I’ve had, absolute god send for drying washing over the winter months.

23. Buy a Sage Express Coffee machine.

    Makes fantastic coffee and unlocks a fun crafty hobby if you enjoy learning to make coffee.

24. 1666 plastic John Lewis carrier bags. That way you can look like you’ve just been to John Lewis every day for the rest of your life and everyone will always think you are rich.

25. The finest prostitute John Lewis has to offer…..
