    I spent yesterday and today at two different malls and several local stores getting gifts for family and friends. I found lots of items, but....................

    I wound up shopping for me too. Four stores were having going-out-of-business sales and I went to town. Four sweaters, a pair of slippers, hand lotion, bath gel, a necklace, earrings, honey cashews, and several small kitchen gadgets later I'm feeling equally pleased at finding sales and guilty at spending so much on myself this time of year.

    My question is this: has anyone else wound up buying for themselves when shopping for gifts for family/friends?

    My elderly MIL and Grandmother used to send me checks in November for our kids, my hubby and I. Then on Christmas morning they were surprised what they got all of us. It worked great...I had a budget and got what we actually all wanted! Fun! Unfortunately they are both now gone.
    However, I now still do buy for myself for my Hubby. I'm fairly particular and he detests shopping and I get to take advantage of the great sales. It's a win win! :music:
