What are you buying youself?

[SnugglyJumpersMakeItBetter]

My family have decided not to do presents this year, which makes sense, but is a bit sad after having always gone OTT before. I'm going to get myself a couple of things and not start using them until Christmas Day. But what? I can't think of anything I desperately need. I have bath stuff and chocolate that needs using already. I'm not interested in jewellery, clothes or makeup. I'm struggling to think of anything fun that will actually get used!

Anyway, what are you guys getting yourselves? Inspire me!

a couple of new knives!
a recipe book
digital weighing scales
oven gloves

I'm going to get my hair restyled I think. And then take my new do out for a nice dinner.

A water flosser

if I had the money I would also have a bottle of perfume but that’s just not possible this year

we will probably buy a couple of mugs as we don’t have many.

It’s all about the kids this year though (and for the foreseeable)

I’ve bought myself a luxe new coat . Dh and i spend max 40 on each other so they’re just token bits.

I have bought myself…..
walking trousers
water proof coat (Black Friday deal)
walking socks
a pair of dungarees

I also do my own stocking (single parent) which will mainly contain my favourite snacks, some long socks, lush hand cream and a pizza cutter.

Last year I bought myself a garmin watch.

Most of my family don’t buy gifts. I do get a few small gifts from friends. I don’t have a dh or dp so I like to buy myself a few things.

Do you like craft activities e.g. you could get yourself a Lego set, a jigsaw puzzle, embroidery/needlefelt kit etc. I would get myself a few books plus something crafty.

Treated myself in the Black Friday sale to some Liz Earle skin care I’ve been wanting for a while.
will keep it until Christmas to use it.

I was going to ask about your hobbies, do you have any past times you could buy yourself some new equipment?

Tell them you want to do presents- some of them
might feel the same but don’t want to say anything

I would be happy with all the food, lots of cheese and a few bottles of wine. I wouldn't buy myself anything posh that ultimately goes down the plughole.

Neom has some lovely bits for a treat OP.

I bought myself a gold honeybee pendant and necklace from Lucy Stopes Roe

I know you said you aren't into makeup, but what about some lovely skincare?

I treated myself to a set of Oil cleanser, toner, serum and moisturiser after a year breastfeeding and I was looking and feeling drab. I never did much more than a basic moisturiser before.

My skin has never been better and it's a little treat for me every morning and night.

Sweaty Betty gym wear. Upgrade from Decathlon.
Just realised I also need 4 new car tyres 🙄.

Baileys..in quantity 🥃😅

I would always treat myself to books. This year I also fancy a Uniqlo puffer jacket and some Levi’s.

If you have a blue light card, I saved loads on my tyres with kwikfit!

This doesn't count, really, but I look forward to my favourite shops doing sales from boxing day, and I usually find something I like then.

Lots of books which I'm excited to read.
Some twisty puzzles, as I've recently restarted my cubing hobby.
A Tamagotchi to add to my collection (because I'm a nerd).

The only surprise gifts for me this year will be from DH so I don’t have high hopes (I love him but he actually bought me an extension lead one year). Ive bought myself a couple of gifts I won’t use til Christmas - magazine subscription ( Grazia!) & the Downton Abbey DVD (not seen it yet 😬)

I like that idea!! Every year I try to put away money for the Black Friday sales for myself but I’ve never managed it

Aspinal Handbag No. 5 in my collection

@toadstool32
Thank you for that...I have been meaning to sign up for a Blue light card...appreciate the heads up!

I've discovered pj's.
Which i don't wear to bed, but like to wear of an evening.
So those!

@IndigoIsMyFavouriteColour water flossers are crap!

The most joy inducing red Kitchen Aid kettle. I’ve listed after it since staying in a VERY fancy hotel with work and it was a bargain for Black Friday
