It seems I always need things for myself around the holidays.  Just ordered myself 2 pairs of slippers and fuzzy socks and used up a gift card from 2 years ago.  I won't say the name of the store, but it starts with ""K".

Re: Presents For Yourself

[ Edited ]

I always buy myself presents for Christmas.  I was always a "one for me, one for them" type of Christmas shopper.  Honestly, not this year.  If I see something I really need and it's at a great price, I'll get it.   But this has been an expensive year for us, so I'll just be shopping for others.  Although.....Amazon Echo keeps calling out to me...lol

I always buy myself Christmas presents.  I have presents for family and a handful of friends bought by November 1.  That leaves the black Friday, etc sales for something for me if the price is right.

I buy too much for myself. When my dh was alive he didn't seem to want or care about clothes. I now buy for my son since t he holidays and his birthday are close.  But the best thing I bought lately and I hope it works is a phone that I can block all the j unk calls.

I sometimes buy myself a Christmas gift. Not always though.

 

I have rules about gifts for myself - they can't be something I actually need and/or was going to buy anyway. New PJs would not count. I need a new pair anyway. 

 

A Christmas gift tends to be purchased just before the day. It is way too early for me to be buying myself a gift. If I am meant to buy myself a gift I'll know it when I see it.

I just bought a new coat from Lord & Taylor for $39.  It was originally $200.  I've already picked up some other things for my girls too.   Free shipping.  Can't go wrong...

Well, with my birthday in November and Christmas around the corner, I'm always buying a present From Me, To Me.  Heart

 

Last  year I started also getting myself presents from my cat, Bogey, because he never shops but obviously wants me to get something nice for myself.  Isn't Bogey so thoughtful?     Heart LOL  Woman LOL

I think I've just lost my mind. I just bought myself A WIG! Never bought a wig before and never worn one either. Just tired of fixing my hair all the time and my hands don't work like they used to. So I'm hoping this will save me some time and suffering...LOL!Woman LOL

I am all about "To me, From me" gifts, and my husband prefers to see me buy exactly what I like.   42 years together and he is absolutely clueless when he walks into a store to buy me a gift.
