I tend to shop more for others, especially my loved ones. What about you?

I shop more for others, my kids and my husband. I see to it that they get what they need and want. I usually only shop for myself if there is a special occasion coming up.

I don't really shop often for me. I would much rather buy for others! I love seeing other peoples faces and the joy you can bring to them by thinking of them or buying a gift that is just right for them. I especially love surprising my family & others with a thoughtful gift that is not for any special reason except to say I was thinking of them.

My husband gets mad at me because of all the money I spend on my kids. Everytime I go out I see something that they need, but when it comes to getting something for myself I hate spending the money. He laughs at me because I think i am splurging if i buy myself a magazine.

I definitly shop more for my children than myself. Children are always needing things especially the boys they are hard on sneakers especially mind anyways. And they grow really fast. I am definitly the last on the list to shop. Im a simple person but its nice to treat yourself every now and then.

I tend to spend more on other people. I hate it sometimes though, I feel guilty when spending money on myself but am happy to spend double the amount on someone else. I think I need a backbone :)

I spend more on myself than I spend for others. I'm always afraid that the others aren't going to like what I get them, or that they'll complain about the price of an item. I hate worrying about things like that so I try and stay away from that.

I also usually shop for others compared for myself. I especially like buying things for my wife. She loved surprises so i tend to buy things to surprise her. The best thing is that she's the person that likes everything that i bought her, whether expensive or not. She said the thought that i have is more important. That is why i like buying stuffs for her. I will only buy things for myself during festive season or whenever i feel that i really need to replace the thing that i'm currently using.
