Hello!

I like to buy a little gift for myself. Usually a book. Do other mums buy little gifts for themselves?

  • I totally understand buying yourself a little something for Christmas! It’s nice to treat yourself, especially after all the planning and shopping for everyone else. A book sounds like a perfect idea—it’s a lovely way to unwind and enjoy some “me time” during the busy season.

    I usually grab a little something for myself too, maybe a nice candle or a cozy pair of socks. It’s something small, but it feels nice to have a little treat to look forward to, especially after all the hard work leading up to Christmas. Plus, it’s like a reminder to enjoy the season too, not just give it all away.


  • Last year I put a gift for myself on the toy layby (a new fitbit) & gave it to myself Christmas day. Best gift I’ve been given in years ????


  • I have started doing this in the last 5 years, not sure how it started but after surviving another year of kids, dramas at whatever else life throws my way I feel I deserve a little treat. It might be a book, or a nice bottle of wine or Bailey’s. Once I purchased a skincare pack online from Empassion Natural and it was lovely.


  • No I have never thought to do this but it sounds lovely thanks for this


  • yes I always buy something for myself – my kids usually buy me something small but I make sure I buy myself something as well as I generally don’t spend money on me during the year


  • YEP! Since I’m the one that buys everyone’s presents I figure I deserve one too!


  • I always buy gifts before Xmas for everyone else then I go for the NY sales for myself afterwards. That is more practical and budget friendly .


  • Not exactly, but I usually wind up earmarking something to pick up in the sales…


  • It’s always nice to spoil yourself, so if you have some spare cash then why not!


  • I usually end up buying my own gifts so in a way yes!


  • of course! we all deserve a little something for ourselves


  • So glad you are treating yourself becstalou. Books expand horizons – so a wonderful Christmas treat! :)


  • I don’t usually but I love the idea off to buy myself a book now.


  • Thanks for the answers mums! So glad that other mums indulge in buying presents for themselves too! Time to add to my collection of books!


  • Absolutely!perfect reason to buy yourself something expensive but l also buy gifts for myself any time of the year


  • I always buy a little gift for myself not just at Christmas time and if it’s an item
    On clearance like a dress,a watch makeup or fragrance it would be a bonus


  • No l don’t but maybe a new outfit to wear on the day!


  • I do this, it guarantees i have something i really want and something little to get excited about
