Just thought I'd post on here any maybe get some nice suggestions. I received a 30.00 amazon gift voucher for my birthday and will be spending it just on myself.

If you were me what would you treat yourself to?

Candles but I know they are a bit marmite on MN. Specifically Shearer Hogmanay or a St Eval candle. Got to be a bit wary of fakes on Amazon these days.

Yeah always books for me.

I did get an Amazon voucher for my birthday and got mostly books but did also treat myself to a new travel coffee cup for work.

Are all your Xmas and birthday presents functional need items? Do you ever just need a book or some nice pens or a bubble bath?

AdaColeman · 10/08/2023 08:43

I don't know if you think this is a positive thing or not but you're actually allowed to enjoy a nice thing purely because you it's nice.

BarbaraofSeville · 10/08/2023 09:21

Gin.

Rainbowqueeen · 10/08/2023 09:24

An afternoon of enjoyment. So a nice book, snacks and drink to have while I read
