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
