Hi, I just would like to ask you guys if you have already given yourself a gift during your birthdays? Or are you still planning to? I myself, is already saving money from my online entry jobs. I am actually planning to give myself a gift in my birthday on the 13th of August. I am working everything so that I can buy a Nokia 5800 expressmusic phone. It would be a very nice gift for myself considering that I have been so stressed enough for the past months because of my jobs both online and offline. I think it would be such a very nice compliment to myself after all these years of working so hard. How about you? Have you given a gift to yourself, or are you still planning?

Yeah, sometimes I do. I like to buy myself something that no one else will give me. I like to get giftcards and things like that so that I can give myself something for my birthday. I really enjoy getting cool things for my birthday and I cant always count on people to get them for me.

good for you. I think we really have to give something for ourselves...and the happiness that we felt is truly rewarding...

My birthday is a day before yours, I am not planning anything on that day, I might give myself something but it will be something small, I am not really sure yet.

whatever it is, be it big or small as long as we are happy about it...I'm sure you can figure it out on what to give to yourself....

Well for this year my birthday gift was somewhat similar to what you have in mind. Though my birthday was way past yours, May, 3. I did buy myself a birthday gift, a samsung omnia mobile phone. I really love it so I save money just to buy it for me on my birthday. I do hope that you will be able to buy your birthday gift and would like to great you a "happy birthday in advance!"

Thanks. My birthday is already tomorrow, and I am happy to say that I have already given the celphone gift to myself. I actually bought my new phone last July 30. And in fact, I am already doing mylot via my mobile phone. Wow, your phone is so expensive. Mine is nokia 5800 xpressmusic, a gift for myself for all the hardships and troubles that I have encountered in this year.

Yes. I always give myself a gift during my birthday. For my last birthday (April 3), I bought a seductive lingerie, a silky cranberry night robe with spaghetti dress. I also bought some bath accessories. It's not that I am self-centered, but my point is, how nice it is to give myself some special thing on my special day as a grand treat to all my effort for working hard. Sometimes, it is best to just treat myself when no one offered. There are times in our lives that we forgot to give ourselves a recognition or appreciation because we are engrossed with thinking for other people and tend to neglect ourselves. So it is just right to give ourselves a gift during our special day.

Yes, I definitely agree with you. We really have to give something for ourselves for the hardships that we had for the entire year. It is actually one of recognizing the best effort that ourselves has made all through the years...

I was planning to give my self a car for my birthday...but that's just me dreaming. Hey, advanced happy birthday dude. It isn't at all selfish to reward one's self once in a while. And one's birthday's a perfect time to do so. But come to think of it, when I'm done saving, I'd give my self a present regardless if it's my birthday or not-I'm still talking 'bout the car. :-) Dude, one last thing, you might want to reconsider what you want to give yourself on your birthday. Or you might want to give somebody else a present. Check out http.//www.gifti.us, fine site to look for gift ideas.

sometimes i give myself a gift. but most times i just wait to get a gift from other people. it makes me feel better than giving a gift to myself. and the gifts to myself are less exspensive because i don't want to spend all my money on me just because its my birthday. i just want to give myself something nice and inexpensive.
