Default Christmas gift confessions...

I know I cannot be the only one, come on, fess up.

Who buys them self a Christmas gift, and if so, what did you buy or are planning to buy for yourself this year?

For me I went smaller scale, usually I drop a couple hundred and get something I have really wanted. This year although I have really wanted one for a while, I got it now because my wrists just needed help putting lots of wood screws in.

Ryobi 18V 2-Speed/24-Torque Setting Drill Kit With Flashlight; includes 2-batteries, charger and storage case.

Sounds like they would

I'm single, so I don't have the wife to blame...

I do all the shopping, so I buy myself presents while I shop. Nothing fancy. A new Timex watch, that I just discovered has dates that go to 39. Today was the 32nd of the month. What's up with that?

Also purchased two small purses, and some inexpensive (translation cheap) jewelry because I liked the color of it, and I replenished some of my makeup. All told, probably spent just over $100.00 on myself. I'm not too high maintenance at all! Rick and I don't exchange gifts, but while I was out I bought him a new pair of jeans and a wallet

I use it at work and I just wanted it. I collect vintage scooters and this was a good addition.

Well, if joint gifts to ourselves count, we're going to have trouble topping last year, when we bought ourselves a house for a Christmas present. HPH
