ElectraGlide -> Did anybody buy themselves a Christmas present, I did lol.... (12/25/2006 10:16:32 PM)
This is only the second time I ever did this. 5 years ago I bought a 1000 dollar metal detector for myself as a, I do not know why I am doing this treat for myself at Christmas time. It was on sale by the way which is why I took advantage of it. This year I bought a Pioneer 7.1 channel 100 watts per channel receiver for myself. What a guy I am lol. I am a outdoors person the winter sucks so I have been enjoying the receiver so far while I am stuck indoors. It raised my spirits to hear a higher quality of music while I am online now. By the way it was on sale also.

I buy myself something for Christmas every year, and this year it was a Cappachino machine.

raises her hand Yup, I sure did. Two as a matter of fact. I bought myself a 1 1/2 carat diamond, right hand band and a 22 Ct gold pendant. I bought the chain for myself last Christmas. I had the pendant made for me in Sri Lanka. A friend of mine is from there and her brother is a jeweler and makes the most unusual jewelry. it's lovely and I couldn't be more pleased with myself. [:D] I fully and openly admit to being a jewelry slut ! mbmbn

quote: ORIGINAL: maybemaybenot I fully and openly admit to being a jewelry slut ! I freely admit to that as well, LOL. I bought myself a peridot pendant and earrings this year (not my birthstone, but I like the color--but then again what gemstone don't I like?) I also bought myself a skirt set and sweater, but that was with $$$ an aunt had sent to me as a gift. Lady Topaz

A bottle of my favorite perfume, which I have not had for a few years. (pausing to inhale the scent of Diva on skin) MSS

lady topaz, my sister does the same thing - buys peridot jewelry for herself even though it's not her birthstone. confuses the heck out of everybody she meets, hehehehe. i think peridot is gorgeous :) i haven't had the money to buy myself a present this year, although i did do that the last couple of years :) maybe when financial aid time comes around - we'll see :) last year i was lucky and had quite a bit of money to budget...i got myself a digital camera. this year i really don't know of anything that i want or need, though. so i think it's best to put the money towards other things.

Didn't have the money to this year, unless having my grandma ask me which robe I like at Target and then her buying said robe counts. Last year, I got myself a CD.

bandit25 -> RE: Did anybody buy themselves a Christmas present, I did lol.... (12/26/2006 2:25:23 AM)
I got myself some perfume this year also. I get myself something every year too. And Target is advertising this point and shoot digital camcorder on sale. I think I'll buy myself and after xmas present too.

Since I usually get a lot of money and gift cards ( being the black sheep of the family, most have no idea what to buy me ) I usually "buy myself" a few christmas gifts ... This year? A shower conversion for my turn-of-the-century clawfoot tub. Much as I love my baths ... I NEED showers. A few DVD collections of series I love. (- Night Stalker, Dead Like Me (season 1+2), Firefly -) The Complete Calvin and Hobbes collection (- thing weighs ALMOST as much as my dictionary -) The next installment in the Repairman Jack books by F. Paul Wilson.

I was just sitting here thinking about what I bought when I realized that for the first time in years I didn't get myself one damned thing! I better call my favourite jeweler!

LotusSong -> RE: Did anybody buy themselves a Christmas present, I did lol.... (12/26/2006 7:24:18 AM)
We did the same. Wandered into Best Buy after an innocent brunch on the 24th... Hubby told me his computer was on it's last leg and wanted to get a new computer. Long story short, here is sit with a new $1400 laptop and comfortably sitting here in my la-z-boy :) Now, if I can just get over buyers remorse. This year's tax return should cover it.

I bought myself several items as I do every year! It's hard to resist the great sales. I often buy one for someone else, and one for myself when the price is right! I bought myself a sweater/jacket, a hat, and other really small items.[:D] I always put what I buy myself NEXT to the gifts I receive. Merry Christmas

amuzingtoyou -> RE: Did anybody buy themselves a Christmas present, I did lol.... (12/26/2006 8:01:04 AM)
i had no intention of buying myself anything. However when i was out doing my shopping for everyone else, these three sweaters just come out and bit me....they were a great deal, so i couldn't pass them up. So as i was checking out i said a merry christmas to myself and was quite happy with my new lil purchase.

I bought myself a 1 ct emerald cut royal purple amethyst to go into a diamond ring that I've had. I loveee those deep purple stones and I had my jeweler replace the center diamond with it. It looks gorgeous. Yes I'm a jewelry slut too.[:D] ~Lashra

I got myself little things, but they were things I needed anyway. It's far easier for me to spend money on others than it is myself- I was more than willing to shell out a few hundred for my partners new monitor, but I haven't given myself a deeply needed haircut in months. And then there's the giftcards- the BBB card went towards a potato peeler, new lightbulbs, a measuring cup and an "extra" gift for my sister, and the Target cards will likely go to a kitchen cart since we really need some more counter space. I actually enjoy spoiling myself when I'm secure enough with the money- but unless I've got quite a comfy cushion to sit on, it's all about what we need and will be useful to others.
