I just threw the LVM out of my house 2 weeks ago because the thought of buying him another really thoughtful and expensive Christmas gift while he gets me a backscratcher from CVS 2 hours before Christmas made me want to vom. Feels sooooo goooooooood that when a bon Jovi song came on the radio right after I actually sang along :)

‘Backscratcher from CVS’…….I’m dead. 😂😂😂😂…..also depressingly accurate- I’ve had two different fools get me CHRISTMAS DAY leftover garbage from Walgreens and Walmart, respectively. Convenience Store Coomer syndrome. Haha.

What did you guys do for yourself this Christmas?
I bought myself coats. I got my eye on several more lol.

oooh, are you are getting different glove/hat/scarf combos with each?! 👀
[–]MaingurlFDS Apprentice 30 points31 points32 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Lmao, you know it!
I was planning to get a basic pair of gloves... but then I thought to myself why not get some bougie ones. Now I'm thinking that I should get one with a fur trim or a nice pair of black leather gloves. Hey maybe all even get both styles lol!
Uhh living scrote-free really is a blessing, ladies! Enjoy it!

For me Xmas is no different than any other time of the year, because I buy myself the things I want, regardless of time, LOL!
But to keep it within topic, I got myself a a few boxes of macarons from Costco!

I bought myself some early presents, I've always wanted a weighted blanket!

You should make a separate post for this! I'd love to see everyone's responses, and it would prompt newbies to treat themselves if they're not used to it.

I bought myself 3 books off my wishlist, this absolutely gorgeous plant propagation station from an artist in Poland, a subscription to Enchanted Living Magazine, a skincare kit from Biossance (they have some amazing deals right now), and a full starter kit for dip powder nails from Revel! Hurray! 😂👏
This year I was really on top of gift buying and started stashing stuff away for myself and friends pretty early.

I'm sitting at the airport waiting to fly home to visit family for the first time in 9 years without my hobo ex husband and LAUGHING OUT LOUD at this 🤣🤣🤣

I’ve been feeling exactly this! It’s my first time being single in 17 years and my bank account is happy about it this Christmas.

My sister broke up with her bf so she didn't have to buy him a birthday gift.

Ahhh Christmas. Usually the time when my ex would pester me about what I wanted (instead of thoughtfully curating a gift; I had to tell him what to buy me) while I spent 5 hours of my life finding a gift for him (or referring to notes I took throughout the year). It’s a quiet Christmas this year 🤗

Yeah I really don’t buy presents for men.
Men usually feel weird about women giving them gifts (if they like the woman, that is).

I have several gifts that I bought for LVX and never offered. Some are still in their package. I could use them, as they are quite practical. I also have a Marcus Aurelius luxury edition. I think I'll read that, as LVX can borrow some from the public library of he wants to.

They're all yours now :)

I bought myself an iPad because I deserved it 🥰 no one ever spoiled me before I had to do it myself

Girl the number of times I’ve bought a gift for someone else and then kept it for myself 😂😂😂
[–]ShieldMaidenLagerthaFDS Disciple[S] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Ha ha! I totally had these thoughts this year. I really listen to people year round and get very thoughtful and beautiful gifts so it’s super annoying when you get some generic thing or something that gives off “regifted” vibes. It does make you feel like keeping the nice things you’ve bought for them. 🤣

I can definitely empathise with this. My wife recently left me and took the kids. But after lurking here for a bit, I realised that I should be independent and not let them dictate my life. So I'm refusing to pay alimony, as it’s an archaic, gender discriminatory and frankly quite racist law that only fosters financial dependence and transactional parenting
