Boots points - What can i spend them on???

Hi I have managed to accumulate over £300 worth on my advantage card and wish to put them to good use for christmas. Can anyone suggest any good offers without being ripped off.
Thanking you in advance for any suggestions.

P.S I was Ruby & Millie ing!!!!!!!

    You have to use them in store, not on Boots.com. Why not look at the gifts which have just come in to stock; they are on 3 for 2 (Green parcel stickers: any reduced ones also go on 3 for 2). I also noticed locally that a store which didnt normally sell dab radios or ipods had them in stock for Christmas.
    Otherwise, it may be worth a trip to a really big Boots even if a long way away, for more choice.

    Well, I suggest that you PM me for my address and send me your lovely boots advantage card and I spend them for you!

    Alternatively, grab one of their christmas catalogues (is it out yet someone?) and spend wisely in store - bear in mind that lots of their stuff at Christmas is 3 for 2 anyway (and the cheapest is always free, so you may have to do more than one shop and juggle them a bit to save the most money)

    Is it possible to use the points for items that appear on the web site for boots e.g bikes and order them in store does anyone know.? I have 6 children all at home to cater for?

    Just another question regarding boots points - can you buy 'Gift Cards' in store with them?

    Specifically:

    "In store points can't be spent on prescription items, stamps, gift vouchers/cards and infant milks (up to 6 months). "

    I bought a pushchair for £89 with my card. They didnt stock the pushchair in store, it was only online, so I had a moan to the store manager saying I'd been saving up for it. He told me to order it and pay by my debit card and then once received take it in store where he would refund my card and take payment with my points card....how nice of him!!!

  • Don't know why my items were not redeemable, but i did check by the` side of the barcodes later and they didnt have the star by the`side. these toys were in the happy landings range elc.
