To ask single women what lovely things they’re buying themselves for Christmas?

Inspired by another thread about Christmas wish lists, I thought I’d start one specifically for single women who enjoy treating themselves!

If you’re single and love buying yourself beautiful things, I’d love to hear what’s on your Christmas list this year.

I’m talking everything from gorgeous jewellery, perfume and luxury skincare to experiences, homeware, books, clothes and those little indulgences you might not ordinarily buy yourself.

Whether you’re happily single, dating or simply not in a relationship, this is about celebrating the joy of buying yourself something lovely without waiting for someone else to do it.

Personally, I love the idea of being able to spoil myself and I think there’s something rather nice about choosing something special purely because you want it.

So, single ladies, what are you buying yourselves this Christmas? Are you saving up for something extravagant, treating yourself to a few smaller luxuries or planning an experience?

I’d love some inspiration (and perhaps a little encouragement to indulge!).

It hadn’t even occurred to me to buy myself something, so I shall watch this thread with interest.
I’m trying to be positive about Christmas alone so this might help!

I’m single and do all my own DIY so I’m buying myself a new cordless impact drill … so excited as I’ve had a corded one for years and can’t wait to use a cordless one . They are expensive so that’s why it’s a gift to myself .

I am single. My 2 lovely sons will get me something small and thoughtful. I will buy myself a new jumper probably.

Happy and deliberately single. I am buying myself a 2 week holiday so I can flee from all the peopleness shortly after the turkey has digested.
