Treat Box

I had the idea of making myself a little treat box. Not really one for consumerism but need some short term rewards to get through winter.
What to put in it?

An assortment of favourite edible treats: ones you would consider an actual 'treat that no one would even think of getting you: that's a given.
Cozy, soft, warm, cute socks, a fun, fragrant foaming soap from Bath and Body Works, ( or something else there),an especially nice personal calendar, or journal, that appeals to you, Good Quality Tea Towels ( these are for me lol) , cute or pretty mug as a change, instant hot chocolate mix, scented candles if those are your thing, a subscription to Netflix, that book you've always wanted to read, gift certificate for your favourite takeout place, which will be a surprise as you've likely forgotten about it.

If I did that it’d last about a day before I opened and used/ate everything!

Yeah, I'm not into consumerism much either but your idea of preparing at treat box is good and it got me thinking what I'd like to put on my Xmas list this year; I'd be happy with a chocolate orange and some tea towels; both of which I'll never get unless I get them myself!

Not sure what a space mask is. I feel spaced out if that helps?

They come in a five pack and warm over your eyes. Lovely and relaxing.
