What Should You Spend Nook Miles On?

First: Pocket Organization Guide

The very first thing we recommend getting would be the Pocket Organization Guide. This item will let you carry even more items in your pocket.

With all the pocket upgrades, you can have 40 spaces in your pockets for all items!

Next: Pretty Good Tools Recipes

The next item you should go for is the one titled Pretty Good Tools Recipes.

This allows you to create normal Tools as opposed to their Flimsy versions. All Tools will break, but the higher durability is worth the extra materials.

Pretty Good Tools Recipes

Stone Axe	Axe	Shovel
Fishing Rod	Net	Watering Can

For Axes, you get both a normal Axe and a Stone Axe, so you can avoid chopping down trees if you want materials but don't want to have to grow new trees all the time either.

Next: Tool Ring

In the game's own words, the Tool Ring is essential to island life! Use the this to switch between tools faster without having to go into your pockets!

You can access a menu of your favorite tools with the Up Button on the D-pad (left side of the controller)!

Next: Hairstyles, Hair Colors, Body Paint, and Eye Colors

Upgrade your style with Hairstyles, Hair Colors, Body Paint, and Eye Colors from Nook Miles!

You can redeem these items and you'll get more options when changing up your look with a mirror!

Next: Nook Miles Ticket to for Mystery Tours

You can also order Nook Miles Tickets with your Nook Miles!

Use them to travel to distant islands, meet new friends, and collect everything your hands can carry with Mystery Island Tours!

You can also use them trade for items with other players on our site, so get to printing them tickets!

Next: Nook Inc. Novelties if You Have Extra Miles

Once you have plenty of money and the other items, go for the Nook Inc. clothes and items. These Nook Inc. novelty items can only be obtained via the Nook Stop.

Next: Redeem Reaction Collection

You can learn nine new reactions with the Hip Reaction Collection from Nook Miles! It's a must-have if you play with friends and family as it makes communication with others easier!

Should You Buy Bell Vouchers?

Don't Buy Bell Vouchers

Another item you can buy with Miles are Bell Vouchers. These are a quick way to turn Nook Miles into Bells; you can sell the vouchers at Nook's Cranny for 3,000 Bells.

Even if you are running low on Bells, we do not recommend spending Nook Miles for Bell Vouchers. While 500 Miles is cheap, you can easily get 3,000 Bells by selling fruits, bugs, fish, and many other things!
