Are you similar like me, when you want to surprise yourself but end with a safe choice? All i can say is I finally spent my gift card of 10 euros. I wanted to be lesss boring and not buying only things i need for my home, more something for me but all those weird lights on make-up section were too flashy and i didn't see any real good eye shadow. I could have asked the staff but they were already putting things on shelves and rearranging things so maybe they would rearrange this section too. Also, i asked one time and they were not too helpful and their face expression was "why are you disturbing me while i'm putting things on shelves" so, i decided to play safe and got mouthwash instead so, if you look what i bought, it's kind of boring but, that's me, what to do. I also bought paper handkerchiefs, bathroom washing spray, cotton sticks for ears, hand cream and aluminum roll. At least things were free and, also, i had to pay extra 70 cents cause, my bill was over 10 euros. I also believe that eye shadow palette that i now own is still good.

Love your title! I am glad that you bought the necessary items with your gift card. Unhelpful salespeople would make me shop at another store.

thank you for complimenting me i am glad i bought things i need too and that i don't have to think about this gift card anymore though, i could use another one. we always need something, don't we? i agree with you concerning unhelpful salespeople but there are too many of them here and stores aren't that close

@valherma00 I blew my gift card towards new shoes. Now I have to work on earning another one by shopping more. So sorry your salespeople are not as helpful as they should be. I think they’re in the wrong business.

I often get a gift card and think I’m going to buy something fun and frivolous, but I end up buying something practical and needed instead.

At least you were able to buy things that you will use.

i agree with you. also, after months when there were no gift cards in my email actually, no surveys sent to me, this is what made me happy.

mouthfreshner is a very good choice. It freshens the mouth and enhances the mood

At least you bought things that you find useful. It happens to the best of us though
