    A £1 gift voucher, that way you will have £6 in vouchers to spend next time, GENIUS :D

    At the bottom of the selection form there is an option to give 20p to charity. This would push the value above £50, AND give some money to a good cause!

    thanks for all the suggestions, unfortunatly the purchase of vouchers is not accepted in this offer, after trawling through the whole of the catalogue i found a cute brooch for £3.99.
