Post by: raven1114 on April 28, 2013, 11:26:14 pm: Depends how limited are my funds? Perhaps something like going to a movie on discount days/times. Renting a movie and locking myself in the room to watch it. Buying a good book.

Post by: msmoneybags48 on April 29, 2013, 04:42:31 am: The gift I like to give myself is to go out and have a nice dinner, preferably Chinese food. Yet there are other things you can do to fill that void. :dontknow:

Post by: Murina32 on April 29, 2013, 04:56:44 am: Sleep...lots of wonderful sleep is what I would gift myself with! LOL! With a full time job and being a single parent I don't always get enough sleep.

Post by: Optiwoman on April 29, 2013, 05:08:49 am: As busy as things are right now, I would just give myself a "me" day. No money to be spent - just time to relax and do NOTHING that I don't want to do.

Post by: bungholiotgn on April 29, 2013, 09:27:37 am: Depends on the person. Go to the movies and get some ice cream, or if you want to stay at home, buy a video or even new clothing. For me, a nice bottle of Tequila or Rum is good!

Post by: Azanne07 on April 29, 2013, 09:28:37 am: take a nice long bath with some candles
Title: Re: Gift for yourself
Post by: dauna on April 29, 2013, 04:25:50 pm: If funds are limited, rent a couple of movies from the library and have a matinee weekend. If funds are REALLY limited, go thru books and DVDs and take to the used media store for store credit to get stuff I want.

Title: Re: Gift for yourself
Post by: sdecaro558 on April 30, 2013, 09:56:58 pm: I usually go out to dinner or get some kind of food that I don't usually get to treat myself. Doesn't have to be a lot or something expensive, just something I don't usually let myself eat.
Title: Re: Gift for yourself
Post by: tin8604 on May 01, 2013, 05:49:18 am: I would get a new purse depending on my budget or a massage.
Title: Re: Gift for yourself
Post by: o2bnocn on May 01, 2013, 04:10:19 pm: Depends on what the person enjoys and how limited the funds are. Some ideas could be:

A few new shirts
Bubble Bath
Movie Night
New video game

Title: Re: Gift for yourself
Post by: plennis on May 01, 2013, 08:12:19 pm: Well, if it is a ME day. Get a haircut and blow dry, a facial, waxing, mani/pedi, massage. Maybe not in that order. Then out for a nice dinner, in my new outfit with my husband. Every time I do get facials, mani/pedi or massages, I always seem to fall asleep. SO maybe I just need a day to sleep! LOL
Title: Re: Gift for yourself
Post by: bleyd on May 01, 2013, 08:28:38 pm: Dinner at a nice restaurant (not really expensive) and a movie with my hubby. Maybe go to the beach after and relax on the sand, watching the stars. :)

Post by: darkxtsuna on May 01, 2013, 08:36:16 pm: Keep saving little funds over and over for the item I wish to purchase. Who Knows it might have a sale on it someday.

Title: Re: Gift for yourself
Post by: mrisha on May 02, 2013, 08:37:09 am: I would love to be stressed free. Not having to worry about how my bills are going to get paid-the whole nine yards. Also I would get myself a manicure and pedicure-depending on the cost. Since money is an issue, having lunch with some good friends or significant other.
Title: Re: Gift for yourself
Post by: melissaotto1982 on May 02, 2013, 10:32:27 am: A movie, a pint of ice cream, no kids, and the couch!!
Title: Re: Gift for yourself
Post by: alamedann on May 02, 2013, 11:06:05 am: I would buy some used books on Amazon. Books can be as cheap as $5.00 a piece. I use Amazon, because I can find the things I want to read easily.

Title: Re: Gift for yourself
Post by: black1304 on May 03, 2013, 02:35:44 am: I am a big fan of Groupon and Living Social. A lot of times they will have really great deals on mani/pedis or massages from local salons. Usually it is about half the normal price. So I feel like I get to do something special for myself and not feel bad about the cost since I got a pretty good discount.
