I've just bought myself a lovely Christmas present and I'm very pleased that I'm so generous and knew exactly what I wanted Wink anyone else do this?

It’s my birthday in December as well so I do a lot of self shopping. Did really well thanks to Black Friday deals.
Bought an Oliver Bonas silk scarf that DP will give me. NYX eyeshadow pallet that DSis will give me.
Then some Glossier make up and 3 Ottoman Hands tings I’ll just give myself Grin

PaperdollCartoon · 25/11/2017 12:00

Oh and two jumpers and a scarf from
ASOS but Im not counting them as ‘presents’

PaperdollCartoon · 25/11/2017 12:01

Tings! *rings! I am not doing well today.

TheFormidableMrsC · 25/11/2017 12:08

Gosh yes, I sell stuff I no longer use to be able to do so, it's quite fun every year! I am divorced and a single parent so don't get very much at all. Eldest daughter always buys me something but family have stopped doing gifts for adults. So, this year I have bought (discounted and using codes where possible), some Pandora earrings, a top from Hush, a beautiful leather purse, a Pandora ring and I am looking for a handbag. Daughter will wrap them and I shall open them all on Xmas day with absolute joy in my heart Grin

JaceLancs · 25/11/2017 12:25

Got even worse today I bought 2 packs of socks a wax jacket and a cashmere cardigan - tkmaxx clearance I blame you!!

Gingernaut · 25/11/2017 12:27

M&S calendar, No7 calendar and the Sanctuary Star Gift. So far. Blush

BigFatFryUp · 25/11/2017 12:50

Yep! I'm being myself some lovely niche perfume that DH will roll eyes at if he sees the price Grin.

BigFatFryUp · 25/11/2017 12:50

buying

Leviticus · 25/11/2017 13:12

Every year! I've had some lovely makeup from Bobbi Brown and Charlotte Tilbury and my Nike delivery is due this afternoon.

Your present is lovely OP.

TeaAddict235 · 25/11/2017 13:17

Yes, my DSis buys herself birthday presents each year. She always takes the day off too. She's an A & E doctor Confused and her gifts to herself are always like "what???!!" She got herself an Audi TT a few moons ago as a gift. Recently I joked that the car wouldn't have fitted 2 car seats so it is good that she now has a "more sensible" car Grin

KellyMarieTunstall2 · 25/11/2017 13:23

I buy myself something every year, wrap it and put it under the tree. Its the only way to guarantee I'll get something I love!Grin I'm never disappointed.

twobambinos · 25/11/2017 13:34

I've been buying myself stuff for the last two weeks and saying it's a Christmas present to me! A Kate spade handbag, some black opium perfume and a make up gift set. All has been tried and tested. Oh and another sparkly dress from oasis because I don't have enough Christmas season only clothes. In fairness that hasn't arrived yet so maybe it would be suitable Grin

happypoobum · 25/11/2017 19:39

No, but Happycat is always very generous at Christmas and my birthday Grin

seefeld · 25/11/2017 20:02

I do, but they’re from my 3 year old! This year I’ve bought a lovely snuggly jumper from Whistles and some By Terry eye shadow/liner sticks with Black Friday discount codes. I’m also tempted to buy a fragrance I’ve fallen in love with from Le Labo but will have to see whether I can justify it nearer the time.

misscockerspaniel · 25/11/2017 20:08

My dogs bought me a pair of Vans Snoopy trainers from Schuh in the Black Friday sale. Smile

oldlaundbooth · 25/11/2017 20:09

I treated myself to some goodies from Crabtree and Evelyn and also the Body Shop.

Gotta do it, I know exactly what I like! 🍦

JustHereForThePooStories · 25/11/2017 20:15

I have a December birthday so spoil myself rotten!

I’ve bought-
A new coat
A jumper
Three pairs of boots
A luxury chocolate advent calendar
New PJs
New Charlotte Tilbury and Mac make-up

I’m far too generous to myself!!

TheFormidableMrsC · 25/11/2017 20:34

Stealth Boast

My DD works at Charlotte Tilbury, I get a rather large discount as a result! This makes me very slap happy with ordering their products.

Hooray!

RubbishMantra · 25/11/2017 21:14

Yes! Some tiny Halo clicker earrings from Astley Clarke. And man, they're delivering the joy! (I gave them to myself early, I struggle with delayed gratification Grin)

AmeliaFlashtart · 26/11/2017 08:50

This thread is enabling, I've only bought myself one present but feel thoroughly justified in buying a few more now 🙌

CountFosco · 26/11/2017 09:00

I usually do but this year I've bought myself a new dress and fabulous shoes for my work Christmas party so I'm now going to be good and get nothing until the sales already got my eye on a velvet top from Jigsaw. Oh, and I'm considering getting myself a Bloom years sample pack subscription.

MaudesMum · 26/11/2017 09:01

I'm currently single, with no parents alive and 2 siblings (one of whom really doesn't 'do' Christmas). If I didn't buy myself a present (or two) for Christmas, no-one else would! This year its the M&S Advent calendar, and I'm on the hunt for a large handbag. Also looking for pyjamas, ankle boots and some nice jeans. However, since I'm quite good at delayed gratification, I have been known to tell myself that some of my presents might have to wait until the January sales...

problembottom · 26/11/2017 11:37

I treated myself to this Whistles parka - it has the cosiest lining ever.

Tannitot · 26/11/2017 15:24

Hashtagelfie - can I ask where you found that set? Really like it but can’t seem to find online? Thanks

falange · 26/11/2017 15:55

Problembottom that parka is lovely. Looks so warm. I have one from ASOS that is like wearing a very thin summer duvet with a tog of 1
