No-one can give any meaningful suggestions without knowing details about your circumstances..
Suggestions however include; pay off high interest debts, establish emergency fund, pension, spouse pension or ISA?, mortgage overpayments, GIA, VCTs, EIS or SEIS, donations, fine wine/art and more…"If you aren’t willing to own a stock for ten years, don’t even think about owning it for ten minutes” Warren Buffett

Are gilts a good idea?0 -
Well if you just read an article about them presumably it explained them, so what do you want to know? Short dated low coupon gilts can be a good alternative to savings accounts to avoid tax as there's no capital gains tax on gilts (that's actual raw gilts not gilt funds). The coupon is taxable but if you use low coupon ones most of the return will be capital gain. Longer dated gilts can be volatile so there'd be risk unless holding them to maturity.2
