I can't decide what gift will I give to myself. I'm actually thinking of buying a new oven so I can bake pizza, cake, cookies and other delicious foods but I'm still unsure. I also consider buying a new gold bracelet but I still don't have the budget. How about you, have you already bought a gift for yourself? What is your Christmas present to yourself?

I'm not sure if I will get myself anything this year. In year's past I never really have ever gotten myself anything for Christmas. I just buy for others. It would be nice to buy myself something but I'm not even sure what that would be. I like books and stuff so I'm not sure if it would be a new book or what.

I would love to have a two-tone earrings, and a new dress. I still don't know if my budget would allow me to... have to buy my kids' necessities first, hehehe...

Earrings is quite expensive, just like my bracelet. it's the budget that wouldn't permit to give us what we want. Settle for a new dress if you are on a tight budget. Merry Christmas in advance.

I really need a new laptop. Mine is 4 years old now and it's been having some problems. But it might have to be my birthday present since the funds are not there yet. So I'll settle for a blackberry :)

I must admit that I'm not thinking of any gift I'll be buying for myself this holiday season because we definitely cannot afford to engage in buying any gifts at this point in time. I guess this may wait for a few more months or until our cash flows will permit it. If we'll ever have extra funds for Christmas, this may very well go into purchasing our midnight meals or what we call locally as 'Noche Buena'. Aside from this, our transportation expenditures going to the province will certainly amount or total to fifty dollars or more. Another thing is, we still got a substantial sum of monetary obligations with various individuals, credit card companies, pawnshops, and loan organizations. With the global economic crisis looming over the horizon and the expected dissolution of the company I'm working with for four years now, I feel that this isn't the appropriate time to spend much money on a lot of things. What's more important for me now is to be able to save a large sum of money for our daughter's future education because honestly, we don't have any money on hand or in the banks.

That savings for your daughter's education is enough gift for yourself. You don't have to splurge for gifts specially at these times. . Merry christmas.

I am hoping my student loan comes in so I can buy myself another car. My daughter and her husband destroyed the last car I had, and it was one I really loved. It was an Acura CL with all the bells and whistles including a sun roof. I cried when I had to sell it, but after 45,000 miles and a LOT of body damage I couldn't keep it. I am looking at a PT cruiser because it would also help out with my business. Plus the one I'm looking at has everything I want on a vehicle except for manual transmission.

Wow, that's a wonderful gift. . You deserve to have new and better car. . . Good luck and advance Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Absolutely! having a ready cash is best in times of emergencies. It is best to save money for everything that will come our way. Merry Christmas in advance.

Maybe I'll just buy myself a new pair of shoes or some new props for magic. Of course the shoes are still first priority because I need new ones. I do hope to get the money for my shoes.

I don't even know if i will give myself a christmas gift... i am almost finished with my christmas shopping... and i do not know if i will have extra money for myself... but if i do have some... i think i will just buy books that i have always wanted to read... like Wicked... the Twilight Series... and the Harry Potter spinoff... Tales of Beedle the Bard... but i guess i would only be able to buy one or two...

Hmmm I think I'm guilty of always buying so many presents for myself. Sometimes, I even end up keeping presents I buy for my friends. This year however, I've spent so much money particularly for travel and on my gashapon hobby, that I think I'm going to cross myself out of this year's list LOL. If ever I'm going to give myself a present, it would be something that's good for me, but won't involve spending money (like for once I'm going to sleep early heheh).
