I treat myself all the time, including for my birthday. It might not always be a gift, but it’s some form of self care…mani/pedi, massage, some kind of me day. It’s essential to do that regularly.

Yes, I bought myself a Helicopter ride over Manhattan and treated myself to a spa day. It was my best birthday so far! 🥳

Why, thank you!

No. But I buy what I want when I want so I don’t need gifts. My birthday isn’t some sort of special occasion

I do. I’m hitting a milestone birthday next year and already planning a gift for number one! 🤘😎

What I want for birthday can’t be bought… 😈

🤨🧐😈

Sometimes but honestly it’s just an excuse to splurge.

I ended up buying it. Thanks for the emotional support 😂

….you were debating that???
Great purchase. I bought one Black Friday year. Totally worth it

I buy myself gifts even when it’s not my birthday 😂

Of course! While I can purchase gifts any time, I delay some for special occasions.

It makes the memory association much stronger. “This was the gift I gave myself for my wedding; that’s the gift I got after my first child/first job/first house.”

No. I dislike birthdays/ anniversaries/ Valentine’s Day/ anything that makes me remember what day it is.

I used to, not any more, somehow lost interest in material things......Not sure why.

Welcome to middle age 😂

funny

No, but I tell my husband exactly what to get me for my birthday.

I buy what I want when I want it. With all these hours we work, you should enjoy your money

Today marks a year since my best friend’s death. We actually hadn’t known each other too long bc I met him at work. Maybe 5 years but we connected so well. He died from a fatal accident last year. He had so much ahead of him. I miss him a lot today because I got a job offer from a company I told him that I wanted to work for, when he was alive. And I can only say this but I also had a secret crush on him. (Continued)
