I’ve just bought myself.....

[BertrandRussell]

...an embarrassingly expensive candle.

Has anyone else bought themselves something unjustifiably extravagant to make me feel less shame filled?

Yh the woodwick ones crackle, it's annoying!

Oh don't tell me that, I've treated myself now. Still, with the noise my son makes when playing Fortnite I doubt I'll notice it.

DBro has sent me a recipe from a cafe place that he goes it, I feel another treat coming on.

I impulse-bought a Barbour a couple of weeks ago. It was 20% off though!

Oh gosh I’ve found my people, I’ve bought myself a pair of Dr Marten boots, Cornishware tableware and a Fossil handbag this Christmas on impulse. My reasoning is that I’m single and our family has a £10 limit on gifts so if I don’t buy it for me no one else will. Best Christmas gifts I’ve ever received

850 for two nights in a spa hotel!! 🤣🤣

In all honesty drizzle the one I burnt was a Asda copy, I'm too tight to burn my woodwick ones 😂 they might be a posher crackle !

I only bought it because it was half price. I'm not sure mine will get burnt either.

What an enjoyable thread.

I bought myself a beautiful Smythson clutch bag to keep in my huge everyday bag. I love it and it will last forever!

I'm toying between spending my Christmas money either on a pair of black leather boots or a leather jacket. Have a sneaking suspicion that my DH may have already bought the boots for me though, so will wait till Xmas day to decide.

That Cire Trudon website is everything I would have hoped for. Definitely can't wait to see the Aldi dupe 😂

Love this thread. I don't often buy myself nice things and anytime I do spend money on myself, I feel incredibly guilty about it for ages. This thread is inspiring!

I've just bought a Tom Ford AND Cire Trudon candles! No regrets!

My not buying anything for at least another few months went a bit pear-shaped this afternoon. Blame my cousin for wanting to meet for lunch in Hatton Garden!
I came home with these beautiful watermelon tourmaline earrings that are handmade and a one-off - by a friend's super-talented husband. Oops!

On a more positive note, I will stuck in the car for a good 7+ hours tomorrow and even I can't spend money at motorway service stations.

@HundredMilesAnHour those earrings are beautiful

Right thanks to you lot I haven't been able to resist ordering myself one of those Woodford Crackling Candles, I want to see what I have been missing! Ordered from Boots they are doing money off them at mo

Woodwick I mean

there is nothing unreasonable about a new Kindle. Ever.

(only because I'm getting a new (to me) one from my son for christmas)

I've spent £125 (eeeek!) on a basic bridge camera for myself for christmas. So excited now. Two nice presents to open.

The complete Dyson Airwrap set.

I absolutely love it and will do for many years to come but still feel like I have to justify why I bought it when a family member asked how much it was.

Hair curling thing
Very expensive lady shaver 🙈
3 real magazines (though one is the RT double issue so mandatory)
Box of posh crackers and lots of cheese nobody else eats
4 real print books
A happiness journal
A new vibrator

I'm single, pregnant and miserable so I'm not sorry though I can't really afford a candle let alone all of that

In my defence almost everything was on a good offer but... Eek!
Kept telling myself the books are for gifts but I can't bare to give them away without reading them first

Today I went to the beauticians and had a massage, mani pedi and eyelash’s permed. Totally self indulgent. It’s fine. It’s Christmas and my present to my self

My happy NYE gifts (to myself) will be a mani and Pedi, a new phone and some new trainers (hopefully the last ones in the January sale)

I'm not sorry
Nobody else spoils me so I'm going to spoil myself
On a regular basis whenever I can afford it for the rest of my life 😊🙌🏽

Are the cire trudon candles.worth.the money?

An expensive fake tan for my face because I'm tired of looking pasty and ill

Frequent book purchases

A birchbox subscription

I need a new Kindle because the screen on mine has a scratch on it, but not sure I can stretch to it at the moment...

Great thread.

Those who've bought the Dyson Airwrap, I'm intrigued. What makes it better than other curlers?
