WIBU to order Krispy Kreme for my birthday?

It’s my birthday next week. Recently, me, DH and DD have gotten really into the Harry Potter films. KK have a HP ‘range’ and have the house donuts available for delivery. DD would love them, DH wouldn’t eat one and I’m on a weight loss journey but will indulge in my birthday. DS will like them although he’s not hugely into HP, they are donuts after all Grin but I’d need to get them delivered. So it’s £25 for some themed donuts (they won’t deliver the smaller box). We’re usually careful with money so it feels hugely indulgent. Plus we’ve had some big expenses recently and plan to start saving harder in September. Obviously we can afford it but it still seems extravagant, we’re not having anyone round. If it was DD’s birthday I’d definitely do it but it’s not until next spring and they’re not here for a long time. Is it too indulgent for some donuts??

Just get the donuts

Cupcakegirl13 · 21/08/2025 07:53

Do it !!

Treat yourself, it’s your birthday :)

Indulge and enjoy every moment OP. Happy birthday!

I spent £12 on 3 of the sorting hat ones yesterday. I don’t even like doughnuts. My husband who hates Harry Potter (muggle 😒) was upset because I never got him one! 😂 anyway my point is…. Go for it who cares if it’s £25 it’s your birthday and it’s a special treat!

dudsville · 21/08/2025 07:55

It sounds like a fun treat that you'll enjoy!

Charabanc · 21/08/2025 07:55

Do it! And have a wizarding birthday 🍩

mumofoneAloneandwell · 21/08/2025 07:56

Do it! And you've given me my birthday idea 🥰

ABowlOfPorridge · 21/08/2025 07:57

It’s your birthday and you deserve a special treat. Enjoy!

Momstermash94 · 21/08/2025 07:57

Get the donuts, but Tesco often have a KC counter and my local one had the HP ones in yesterday so it might be cheaper for you that way

Venalopolos · 21/08/2025 07:57

Wouldn’t even think twice. Buy them. If money’s that tight, ask DH/kids to buy them as your birthday present.

DinoLil · 21/08/2025 07:58

It's my birthday next week, I'm off to Google these!!

Edenmum2 · 21/08/2025 07:58

Do it this second

We get KK donuts in lieu of a cake for my son’s birthday (and sometimes mine too). Easier to portion up and he prefers them.

IntoTheFringe · 21/08/2025 08:09

Happy birthday for next week! Get the doughnuts. You can freeze them if it's too many to eat at once. 30 seconds in the microwave to defrost. 🙂

Tutorpuzzle · 21/08/2025 08:41

£25 is about the same price as a loaf of bread and a packet of butter now…and I know which one I’d prefer! Happy Birthday 🎉

SJM1988 · 21/08/2025 08:43

Do it!
I've just ordered them for my DS birthday now :D

doigetthedonut · 21/08/2025 08:45

Ooh what day @DinoLil??

£25 for donuts?!! Just get some from the supermarket and print off some Harry Potter themed motifs to put on top.

InterestedDad37 · 21/08/2025 08:51

Donutiarmus! 🧙🪄🍩
(Get them 👍)

We do this too instead of birthday cake x

EasternSkies · 21/08/2025 08:57

No big Sainsbury’s near you with a KK cabinet?

YourFavouriteFalafel · 21/08/2025 09:04

I stacked KK doughnuts (donuts?) and put a sparkler candle on top for my DS birthday recently and everyone loved it! Do it!

sassyduck · 21/08/2025 09:08

Get them. Eat them. Enjoy them. And Happy Birthday!!

IKnowAristotle · 21/08/2025 09:09

You must buy the doughnuts and also tell us which house you're in.
