Need to urgently buy 'something' from Apple Store for £80

Hi there,

tl;dr. I need to find something on the apple store, apple branded, for £80. I need your advice, as I am struggling.

Apple have given me an £80 goodwill credit to buy something from their Apple Store. They suggested the urBeats Headphones (http://www.apple.com/uk/shop/product/MK9W2ZM/A/urbeats-in-ear-headphones-space-grey?fnode=8c) but looking at the reviews, they are poorly built and wont last long, even if they have great sound. They said however that I could pick another product or several products up to the value of £80, or slightly over would be fine , such as £86. Can't be used as part voucher and the rest I pay, that wont work they said, so the full amount has to come from credit.

I had a look, but its a hard to browse, cant sort or filter.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I took a look at the Plantronic Voyager Headset (http://www.apple.com/uk/shop/product/HA315PA/A/plantronics-voyager-legend-bluetooth-headset?fnode=8d) but on Amazon its selling for £45 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plantronics-Voyager-Legend-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B009ES6FTO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1454583145&sr=8-1&keywords=Plantronics+Voyager+Legend+Bluetooth+He adset) so thats crazy! Altho the Apple site mentions a 2 in 1 car and USB charging kit, which may be extra? Plantronics support confirms the product itself is the same on both, and not an upgrade/newer model etc.

BUT, even after the crazy price increase, this may not work, as I seemed to remember they said it had to be Apple owned products (Beats is owned by Apple), so.... this could be hard. I need to give an answer by Friday...

Anyone fancy helping me out and suggesting some accessories to buy from the Apple store for around £80? It will be much appreciated!

Your post makes little sense.

You say they've told you you can find something for £86 and that 'would be fine' and then you say 'can't be used as a part voucher and the rest I will pay'.

Do you mean you can't use part of the voucher? Or that you can't use more than the voucher?

What may not work? Why Friday?

The obvious is, do you need anything from Apple, or are you looking to buy to sell? Will the voucher expire on Friday??

Also what particular Apple product you want the new purchase to go with would help .... MacBook, iPad, iPhone .....watch ?
If it's a matter of just using up a freebie that you don't particularly need yourself then you will need to see if there is a product that you can sell on and retain most value.
Not easy but more information would help.

What about just buying an iTunes voucher or something or a few vouchers and giving them as gifts for Birthdays/Christmas if you know you wont use them yourself.
