We spend so much time thinking about what presents to buy our nearest and dearest, but when was the last time we bought something really special for ourselves. Whatever your reason, go for it. Â We all need to spoil ourselves a little.
Jeff Goldblum Wrapping Paper
If you want to really want to push the boat out then buy yourself something that will last you a lifetime.  Diamonds are rumored to be a girls best friend, but unless you have one? You won’t know if this is a myth or not.  You don’t have to go super extravagant here, there are lots of items with this precious stone in that won’t shatter your credit card.  A small ring, a tiny pendant or a pair of earrings will be enough for you to appreciate the natural beauty of this stone.  You could even look at buying something second hand or some loose gems which you could have made into something later on.  Companies such as James Allen Review can offer you lots of advice when investing in a diamond.
Another brilliant purchase you can make yourself is a timepiece.  Having a good quality watch is something you can hold onto for a lifetime.  It is also something which can be engraved to remember the reason for buying it and could be passed down your family over the generations, so a future heirloom.  There are some traditional brands which hold their value and popularity, such as Rolex or Cartier however if you have a more modest budget there are some newer brands which are starting to make a name for themselves.  Seven Friday is an exciting contemporary watch maker or Bell&Ross who, whilst renowned in luxury watch circles, have a more affordable price tag.  If you can’t afford a watch, there are other ways of getting a little arm candy, like these ideas from Boho Betty
There is something incredible about buying a designer shoe.  From the smell to the feel and the look.  Christian Louboutin is a very popular brand due to the signature red sole which is unmistakable to any fashionista who happens to walk past you.  There are a variety of styles which he makes limited runs of and prices start from £350 then stretch all the way to £3000.  It may seem like an awful lot to spend on pair of shoes but you probably don’t think twice about spending this on ‘shoes’ for your car.  Plus Louboutins are made with such care they will last you a lifetime, or until you get to the age you can’t walk in heels.  It happens … apparently!
Don’t wait for someone else to spoil you rotten.  Even if it’s a weekend trip to Paris or a night in a spa, making a special effort to give yourself a treat will have a positive impact on your mental health.  It is also a great way of giving yourself a boost if things get tough or your self confidence takes a knock.  You can look at that special gift and remember, you earned that.
