My husband loves shopping and puts a great deal of thought, time and effort into gifts for me and the rest of the family. He starts his Christmas/Birthday/Anniversary shopping in January and squirrels stuff everywhere. From what the rest of you have shared...I think my fella is a little unusual. So No, I don't buy gifts for myself. If I want something in particular, I put a little aside each week and then buy it.

Sandy, I do wear a cross every day. I also agree with your first sentence. DH got it for me, with prompting, our first Christmas as a married couple. That's my everyday, mostly all the time, cross to wear. I just save the other one for special occasions because it's heavy and have already gone through 2 necklaces and it's just now 5 yrs old.

Funny you should ask. Saturday is my anniversary & lovely squishy packages of FABRIC have been arriving this week to help me commemorate it. YES! My DH & I buy ALL our own gifts. I don't know what he wants/needs for his various hobbies & visa versa. My thought is, if you're gonna spend the $$$, you might as well get what you want.

All the time. I'm really into tools, gadgets, etc. All my poor hubby (now deceased) knew to buy was flowers, perfune, errings, etc. Loved him a bunch tho. And if I ever wanted clothes in order for them to fit I had to actually go try them on. I put them in a package, wrapped, bow and he was surprised.

I have for many years bought my own birthday, Christmas & Mother's Day gifts. If I didn't, I wouldn't have anything except what my kids gave me. I started doing this after sitting through a Christmas morning everyone opening present after present, that I had bought & wrapped while I had one little present. I decided that was enough of that! So while shopping for everyone else, if I saw something that I liked & knew I would use, I got it & wrapped for me from "Santa"! Don't feel guilty one bit! I do everything for the holidays & feel I earned what I got! Plus it always makes me smile when I use it!
