I’ve just ordered an water jet interdental cleaner! I’m so excited as I didn’t get one for Christmas. What’s the gift you would buy yourself? (Beside sentimental family time stuff)

Jane10: Was it Rob Bryden or Bill Bryson who wrote the book?

I buy myself a Christmas present every year. This year it was a new lens for my camera. Why shouldn’t I?

The Dyson air wrap. Such an indulgence!

I bought myself a few things from Sophie Allport before Christmas including a couple of towels that have velcro at the bottom so you can loop them. Now I'm going to buy myself a small towel rail stand for my kitchen from Argos tomorrow. I also bought a new butter dish which is pretty but a bit small. The butter will have to be placed very precisely on the saucer. I'm going to treat myself more often next year. I always feel a bit guilty which is I know is silly.

Not bought it yet, but I am going to buy a Smartwatch. I love my Fitbit but I'm planning on doing lots more challenging walking so think a Smartwatch would be useful!

Treats are for life not just for Christmas... I'm important to me all year round and I often have a little treat. ?

A boxed set of 4 lovely nostalgic family xmas scenes jigsaw puzzles. Haven't done jigsaws for years and fell in love with the pictures these are made up from. Also a board/fold up puzzle thingy to house them while working on them. Will probably take me til next xmas to finish them.

I've bought myself a personalised, quality leather spectacles case, from a company in Geneva. It's lovely and will last many years.

I bought myself a small box of Cadbury's Roses, I still like bog standard, non 70% cocoa solids chocolate, although since Kraft has got their hands on the brand, it's not what it was sadWe finished them off last night whilst watching Gavin and Stacey on Iplayer, I kindly gave my husband the fudgey rubbish ones smile

Thinking of buying a cordless vacuum cleaner as I have unused vouchers to spend.

I’ve bought myself a new Kipling suitcase in the sale?

Some matching red underwear in the sale! I've always wanted red underwear but always stick to 'practical'. Saw it and thought sod it smile

Despite hints, I’ve bought myself the DVD of Sanditon.

Contemplating a trip to Black Sheep Wool (brilliant yarn/stitchy shop)this morning, to buy something I don't need but just fancy.grin

Hello Lexigran, your crochet kit sounds interesting, can you tell me more about it, i.e. Novice friendly, etc
Thank you!

TillyWhiz Sat 28-Dec-19 10:00:52

A new pair of wellies and a clothesairer.

b1zzle Sat 28-Dec-19 09:56:29

A perfume that I actually like!

lexigran Sat 28-Dec-19 09:45:41

I've bought myself a kit to crochet a lovely colourful blanket . That will keep me busy for a while! smile

I haven’t treated myself to a gift ( too taken up with other things) but having an Amazon wish list and getting Christmas presents from it (from my family )is more or less the same thing....means you get exactly what you want.
Books, perfume, fancy writing paper and cds.?
