Have you bought yourself a gift?

[underpants]

I just thought about this. I usually start off buying with something for myself but haven’t this year. Usually its just something I see at a store but since I haven’t gone many places this year I guess I forgot.

[Shrike47]

1. Yep. A cheap one, but I rarely buy anything so I bought myself a costume jewelry necklace.

4. Good times

[madaboutharry]

3. I did, online.

I bought myself a new keychain and a new case for my crochet needles, neither which I needed. But they were cute.

[underpants]

6. Nice!

[LisaL]

7. Lots and lots of gifts.

Thanks to amazon.
I should be spending less money during a pandemic but amazon is preventing that.

[IcyPeas]

8. Yes, a $30.00 Oontz bluetooth speaker.

[handmade34]

9. yes

[dweller]

10. Looking for a warm winter hat

Not really a hat person, but started wearing one this past year, but it’s a straw one ... I think I’ve settled on a woven woolen sloucher beanie... that way I can pull it completely over my head if need be ... is getting cold now

11. I did! I got myself a Groupon for a massage

And I plan on giving my masseuse a generous tip.

12. I bought a magazine subscription

granddaughter's Girl Scout troop had a fundraiser. I have a couple of new bird feeders on the way. Got those on eBay.
My health insurance co. sent me a gift card for going to my well-check, and I'm planning to get either a new trash bin or mailbox with it. I like imagining how I'll spend it

[Glamrock]

13. Hells yeah man!

Replacing the carpet that The Mighty Zeppelin ruined! Had it done the Monday before Thanksgiving. Left the Tv Room and my office to be done after he moved on. The little prick moved on 7 days later! Now doing the Tv Room and my office the Monday after Xmas.

Ya know, I loved that little dude. But he was a horrible little creature! LOL! I miss him to no end, but passing on the week after we had most of the house carpet replaced and $200 in baby gates? I wouldn't expect any different from the dog that would forcefully put me between his 15 pound ass and a 140 pound pitbull. He was such a prick! But damn I miss him....

Anyhoo, new Fraize carpet and extra thick padding. It's like walking through the grass it's so thick!

Merry Christmas to us!

14. I just brought myself some shoes online I've been eyeing for awhile

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. Yes, since nobody else will.

Got myself new cross-country skis, now I'm waiting for some snow.

[peacefreak2.0]

16. I did.

A cross stitch pattern and some good needles. Dull, I know but it’s cheaper than Valium for me.

[lillypaddle]

17. Let's see now ...

in the last month, I've bought myself a new blender (my old one was a wedding present 52 years ago), some "bear claws" for shredding meat, a bench scraper with a cutting edge and measurements, and a few other thingees. I've been a very good girl this year, I mean how much trouble can you get into when there is a pandemic and you are doing little more than staying inside?

But now I need some kind of utility cart to put some of my goodies on. I see that I have another gift coming real soon!

Off to browse Amazon ...

[jmowreader]

30. Check Uline

It's run by a right-winger, but the utility carts they sell (we have four at work) are excellent in quality and reasonable in price.

[lillypaddle]

32. Thanks, for the tip, but

I already browsed, bought and it's on its way to be delivered by tomorrow. I have Prime, so shipping was free, and I can return it for no charge if need be.

It had 5 star reviews, and is supposedly easy to assemble. I hope so! And the price was right. Thanks, though.

[LakeArenal]

18. I bought new bedding and replaced kitchen towels and cloths.

[AmyStrange]

19. Nope, but I got you one...

I just have to get them away from my lawyer first:

20. I bought myself a Kalimba (thumb piano)!

I so miss singing and playing handbells with my friends

[mopinko]

21. yup. bought a small band.

started taking voice lessons a few months ago and bought myself a piano for my bday. learning that w the same teacher.
i am enjoying it all so much. so i bought myself a drum kit, a couple horns and a vintage banjo.
most of it was pretty cheap on ebay.
i want to play guitar, but i have my eye on something special. imma master my cheap little ukulele first.

also bought myself some wedgwood jewelry. a few rings and a couple broaches.
also pretty cheap on ebay.

nobody is gonna buy me anything, and nobody wants anything from me, so...

[lastlib]

22. Two years ago, I bought myself - - -

...the most beautiful chess & storage box set I've ever laid eyes on ($750 for the pieces, $200 for the mahogany fitted-coffer box), but didn't get a quality board worthy of it. This year I'm splurging for a maple/elm burl board to go with it.

No one else buys me anything, and I don't buy much for anyone else, so what the he--, live a little!

[Harker]

23. Yes... another Irish grandfather shirt.

90% cotton, 10% flax.

Natural off-white "stone" color.

Thanks, me, I love it. It's perfect and I got it cheap.

[OriginalGeek]

24. Back in april I bought a pair of shoes

it turned out I really like them - comfortable and and I think they look pretty cool and I can wear them with shorts or long pants and to work.

So just today I ordered another pair in a different color so I could have more fashionable options when getting dressed. (Also to help mitigate the wear and tear on the original pair. I like them so much I wear them more than I should).

I call that my christmas present. I also bought my wife one of those cheesy "I Love You in a hundred languages" necklaces because it was cute and I do and you can shine a light through it so it projects "I Love You" in all the languages on the wall. It was cheap (hence the "cheesy" ) and just something I wanted to get for her. We got each other new smart phones for our real presents.

[DeeNice]

25. Yes, an oblong cast iron grill/griddle pan

For the long center burner on a stove I bought a few years back but never had a pan to use on it. It's great!

[Different Drummer]

26. This.

I'm a "wordy" and this appealed to me. I have no faith it'll get to me by Christmas. Merriam-Webster sent me a DHL tracking number a few days ago after the order "shipped" but when I check the tracking number, DHL apparently has no record of the shipment being made.

[lillypaddle]

33. Is it coming from outside the country?

My experience with DHL recently was having some advent calendars shipped from Germany. The story is too long and boring, but let's just say that my calendars went on quite the little journey! But eventually they did make it to me, over 5 weeks later.

Good luck! Like the shirt.

[Different Drummer]

34. Thanks!

I have no idea from where the shirt is coming.

[csziggy]

35. If you are wordy you should like this

[Different Drummer]

36. That has become a favorite song of mine.

Al definitely had the right idea with it!

[In_The_Wind]

27. Not this year.

[Rice4VP]

28. I buy myself a gift every year. I don't wrap it though

One year when my daughter was younger I bought myself a gift from Santa because she was concerned that I wasn’t going to get anything. I wrapped that

[Niagara]

29. I always buy myself something for Christmas.

I don't wrap it and place it under the tree.


This year I purchased a double feature film set for myself.

[smirkymonkey]

31. Not yet, I still need to tip out my building staff people, so I will wait to see what I get for

X-mas money and gift cards. I need a new bedside nitestand and I also want need a new lamp for it, so that is what I am planning on getting. Spent a little too much on Christmas again this year.

[mnhtnbb]

37. Yes. I bought myself a new house!

Closed yesterday. But not moving in until first week of January due to many reasons. So I will still be in my apartment for Christmas.

Actually, I signed the contract last April for it to be built. It just turned out to be finished this month.
