What Should You Spend Nook Miles On?

First: Pocket Organization Guide

ACNH - Pocket Organizer
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

ACNH - Pretty Good Tools

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.

Fishing Rod ImageFishing Rod Net ImageNet Watering Can ImageWatering 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

ACNH - 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

ACNH - Hairstyles in Redeem Nook Miles

Should You Buy Bell Vouchers?

Don't Buy Bell Vouchers

ACNH - Bell vouchers sell for 3000 Bells

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!
