1. Reusable Stamp set

2. Reusable bag

And the rest are just great big No's.

Here's a suggestion: Sephora power banks.  I got one from either a "beauty blogger" bag or a swag bag at the grand reopening of the flagship store in San Francisco, and I used it a lot!  It's practical, it's useful, and it's fun.

I'd also suggest an umbrella like the one Sephora gave out with any purchase of $25 or more in store circa November 2015?  It could even have been February 2016.

Maybe a sephora branded mug or brush holder?  Magnets?  Because it's so hard to accumulate points on Sephora, I feel like people hoard them waiting (hoping) for a better reward.  If you can't/won't give something of monetary value than you have to give something that is rare.  So start giving us whatever employees get as swag -- towels, blankets, pillows, shirts, etc. 

If you do go with the stamp set, I would try to put makeup specific icons in there.  A hand flashing the peace sign or a group of hearts does not scream "sephora" or "makeup" in general to me.

Sorry, I wouldn't redeem points for any of these. I only redeem points for beauty products.

[seaofcowards]

Agreed

The stamp set looks kinda cute and I might want a BI tote. 

I'd love an umbrella though! 

[Alicehoopz]

1. Notebook

...haha sorry, that's the only thing I would redeem points for. LOVE the umbrella idea though; I would redeem for that!

@RachelBT,  Welcome!

In real life, I  probably wouldn't want to spend 250 points for these. Maybe for less points.  I like the idea of some red for Rouge, not crazy for the black polka dots.  I like a lot of the alternate ideas that people have suggested.  The order that I like the six items proposed:

1. Bag Charm 

2. Bandana

3. Notebook

4. Stamp Set

5. Tote

6. Pop Socket

[RachelBT]

@tsavorite thank you!!! And thank you for the feedback, very helpful!

[niki172]

1) stamp set

2) bag charm

3) reusable tote

4) pop socket

5) notebook

6) bandana

Honestly I'm not sure I'd use 250 pts on any of these items (unless the tote was of good quality/huge and maybe the bag charm but with a different design). I've seen some people here comment about the umbrella that they received a few years back as a Rouge gift. I'd be interested in that (especially if it was a smaller umbrella that could fit in a bag).

[ElleElleG]

1. Stamp Set (mostly because it's different)
2. Reusable Tote
3. Popsocket
4. Bag Charm
5. Bandana
6. Notebook

It is unlikely that I would jump to spend 250 pts. on these items as the conversion from points to dollars does not seem worth it.  

I would LOVE if some of the suggestions other members have made became available primarily the makeup brush holder, umbrella, & hand held mirror as these are items that I could easily get some use out of.  

Additional ideas: Mini collection kits would also be really awesome point perks (lipstick or perfume trios for example), a brush duo (full-sized), phone cases &/or other electronic sleeves (this would be cute especially if they had the b&w polka dots). 

[Llgc]

• TBH I wouldn't spend 250 on any of these (unless there were red options for rouge then I might be tempted)

if if I had to give an order:

1 notebook

2 popsocket

3 reusable bag

4 stamps

5 bandana

6 bag charm

I liked the other ideas about storage. I would definitely spend points on an adorable sephora organizer for makeup, or even smaller everyday items like q-tips.

edit: also a nice cloth headband! I'd throw my points in that direction

[NotCrocker]

None of those things are worth the 250pts to me, in particular because I just saw a nicer, but similar spotted tote for 100pts at the Sephora on Robson in Vancouver just today.

[CheerMomma]

Bag charm and pop socket, specially if they came in rouge for us vibr's! 

[Anonymous]

I would not redeem for any of these. But if I had to list them then:

1.Stamp Set

2. Bag Charm

3. Pop Socket

4. Notebook

5. Bandana

6. Tote

I like some of the suggestions that others made. Such as makeup organizers or makeup brush holders, coffee mugs, umbrella and mirrors.

[Anonymous]

I love the coffee mug idea.

[PrettyPaint]

1. Stamp set

2. Notebook

3. Bag charm

4. Tote

5. Pop socket

6. Bandana

The only one I would probably actually redeem would be the stamp set. 

Suggestions: Any type of makeup or brush storage, small beauty accessories like sponges, qtips, etc.,    a coupon/percentage off a future purchase.

[RGbrown]

IMHO, 250 points seems a bit high for those items...100 points might be a bit low, but maybe 3-4 for 500 or something like that. In any case, I like the bandana (or make it a scarf!) best of those 6, and maybe the notebook next. The bag charm is cute, but I likely wouldn't use it; I have entirely too many totes as it is, and the stamps/pop socket don't interest me.

Like others have said, I typically redeem points for new products I want to try (or minis of stuff I already love), so I'm not really sure Sephora merchandise is something I would spend points on in the first place. Never say never, but it's not likely unless something super adorable pops up (and I'm not seeing it here so far).

Like some of the other members, I wouldn't be inclined to redeem for these rewards but my choices would be:

1) reusable tote

2) notebook

3) stamp set

I love the everyones ideas so far...the umbrella, travel container set, face/wash cloth, those would be really useful reward redemptions!

[MlleCC]

Thanks for letting us contribute our ideas!  To be quite honest, I would not redeem for any of these -- one of the things that I look forward to the most in the Point Rewards selection is to be able to try out new beauty products as a "free reward" for my spend at Sephora.  However, my ranking below is in accordance with how useful I think each item would be:

1. Bandana

2. Reusable Tote

3. Notebook

4. Pop Socket

5. Bag Charm

6. Stamp Set
