Do you buy yourself something at Christmas..a gift to yourself?..even if you get one from someone else, or not... .. if so have you bought one this year , and what is it? 🛍🎁


I usually buy myself something every year , not necessarily expensive.. but not always cheap either .

This year I didn't feel I needed anything, but we were shopping today and I found a pair of addidas white trainers, at half price in TKMaxx, and as I've been meaning to get some white trainers anyway, how could I resist? :D

Not really but today I made a quick trip out to the store for the last time before Christmas. As I was checking out I bought two Mounds candy bars. I ate them both driving home. I never buy candy bars so it was a Christmas treat just for me.

I can honestly say that in my sixty-seven years in this incarnation, I have never eaten two candy bars in one fell swoop. What's that like? 👀

I also have never bought myself a present, as that applies to going out, specifically, to get myself something for a special occasion. Sure, I've bought lots of things for myself, as anyone has, but never with those things being presents, to myself, for special occasions. That actually strikes me as odd, although other folks do precisely that, and I'm sure there's absolutely nothing wrong with them doing so.

Um, well I bought myself a new nonstick ceramic sautee pan to replace one that was all scratched up -- does that count?

Was it, specifically, a Christmas present to yourself? If not, I would think it doesn't count.

Next time, buy a great quality, stainless steel saute pan. Used correctly, it will be non-stick, and last a lifetime, in like-new condition.

.you're full of the Christmas spirit TG aintcha?>>>> :p go and buy yourself a little Christmas treat.. that'll cheer ya up..Merry Christmas my friend.. 🥳:giggle:
 
No, not me. I buy something when I need it. Christmas is the time when I only buy 1 little gift for my wife. Don't like shopping. Stores are noisy places with bad music.
 
My clients give me Christmas bonuses every year. Most of the bonuses go towards Christmas gifts for the kids and grandkids, but I hold out $50 of it every year to buy myself something, typically something I want rather than something I need, which makes it a treat. Last year I bought myself a pair of leather boots that were on sale so I got a great deal! I didn't need them, I have plenty of footwear, but I wanted them!

This year I'm toying with the idea of getting myself a new purse.

That's it exactly, buy something you want rather than need (y)🎁
 
Not sure if this counts as buying for myself since one relative gifts cash each year. I usually put it in savings, but this year decided to buy a labradorite/diamond ring. Labradorite is not expensive but is my favorite stone. Love the flashes of different colors. I don't wear rings much, but usally go with the stacked look when I do wear them. And I love asymmetrical stones. Already had the thin diamond bands and love them stacked with my new ring.

Doubt if a week goes by that I’m not buying something for myself. Being a guitar player and tennisplayer I’m constantly online buying guitars, racquets, strings, grips, shoes, shorts, shirts.

Boxes are delivered every few days, the wife just shakes her head.
