Do you get yourself a Christmas present?

Thinking about getting myself a Christmas present seemed silly, but getting an advent calendar for myself seemed kind of fun. However, I didn’t exactly do that. I bought what is in the picture, a 12 days of cocoa, basically. I haven’t had hot cocoa in years, so I thought, why not? I’m looking forward to the chocolate cherry myself. Do any of you guys get yourself a Christmas present? I don’t think I know a lot of people who do, but why not? Especially if you don’t treat yourself often during the year, and you can afford it, do something nice for yourself. If you don’t, what would you buy for yourself if you could? I think a lot of people are used to doing for others instead of themselves. So just use your imagination!

I think this is a good idea. I would buy many things. I would buy my favorite sweets. There are some candies that I ate when I was a kid.

Nothing is wrong with buying yourself a Christmas gift! A girl I saw on YouTube had something similar to the 12 days of cocoa you have but she had a tea one. I think she had one for the fall as it was a couple of months ago and the teas have fall flavors like pumpkin blends. The chocolate cherry hot cocoa sounds scrumptious! I get four books for a dollar each that are wrapped and have clues that look like a name tag that helps a person guess what the book is. they come from the library and are used. But a book is a book! This year I am giving myself stickers too i bought them for $1 each at Dollar General on Wednesday!

I love that book idea! You’re right, who the heck cares if it is used! Someone gave me a tea thing, and I am posting a picture of it. I’m not normally a tea drinker, but I am looking forward to trying it.

@LovesEverybody Yes, the teas are flavored, but I’m not sure of the flavors yet.

@AmbiePam I love the book idea too as who can beat a book for $1! Especially when books are so expensive, even at Used bookstores! Your tea thing is adorable! I am not normally a tea drinker but I would try it if somebody gave it to me. Is it supposed to have flavored teas? if so, they probably have flavors like peppermint and cinnamon

I'm actually not sure if I do or not. I'll have to check when Christmas comes.

I honestly don't think I ever have done that. But what a neat idea! You deserve a treat, you are a good lady. Enjoy that cocoa! I got one of those calendar things that had a little package of coffee in each one, a few years ago from a friend. It was fun, and you know how much I love coffee! It never goes to waste around here!!

@AmbiePam I’ve loved coffee since I was really young. I’m sure over the years I have consumed enough coffee to fill a river!

I may have once or twice, though I can't think of anytime I did at the moment. I usually get myself "presents" when someone gives my a gift card for my birthday or Christmas or whatever.

I usually do, a little thing for me and a little thing for my husband, just to have a couple of presents under the tree.

@AmbiePam We really need nothing, so it's just a little present with the purpose to make Christmas happier.

I think that is a great idea. We all need to look after and nurture ourselves. We aren't much use to anybody unless we're in a good place ourselves. I'd probably buy a book.

I used to buy myself something every Christmas. My husband says he's such a good shopper! lololol Now I don't need or want anything because we are trying to downsize. I like the idea of the 12 Days of Cocoa. Have a great day!

Actually, I will indulge in a present for myself. Not that I wrap it or anything. It's like you said, just treating myself with something nobody would think of buying for me as a present. I've bought chocolate covered pretzels or a bottle of Kahlua in the past. Maybe I'll buy Bailey's Irish Cream this year. A warm liquor on a cold winter night. Yummy!

If I were to get myself a Christmas gift, maybe new graphic design software (I know I'm a bit obsessed) but otherwise I don't really know.

Yah, it IS fun!! I'm glad you treated yourself to days of cocoa . . . I wish I could gift you some mini marshmallows and a mug to go with that ! I'm not one to get myself an actual gift, but I just might splurge on something on another day. But for me, a splurge could mean something that's not marked down at a thrift store .

Enjoy your cocoa advent calendar I don't buy myself Christmas gifts as I have a big family and have more fun buying gifts for them. In return I have plenty to open on Christmas when they all arrive for the celebrating. My daughter just got a new recliner for her bedroom so I assume it's her Christmas gift
