I don’t know if this will link, but I bought this for me (unframed).
I will get it framed this spring. I just love it and have looked at it for years in the catalogue.

You know, darling, you’re not helping.
I got myself a home rootbeer/ soda brewing kit, and found a brewer supply store in Sacramento to supplement it with. My SO and I made our first batch last night!
It hadn’t occurred to me that I needed an occasion to justify buying presents for myself. As I’ve said before, I am my own sugarmomma, and I do treat myself well.
Unfortunately, this year, my sugarmomma is going for the practical for Christmas. Likely a new fridge, as the old one has been making noises like it’s lined up waiting for the start gun at a race track.
Happy birthday from a fellow single New Year’s Eve baby!
I get a lot of presents from my family, so I don’t really see Christmas as a particular time to “treat myself right” as it were. When I want something, I buy it.
Of course, since I am going out today to buy presents for my niece/nephews, I might end up buying stuff for myself.

We get to buy ourselves presents? Cool!
I might combine my recent birthday with Christmas and get me a new laptop.
A Christmas tree. That’s what I got me.
I’m not single and have a wonderful marriage, my Wife really likes a Christmas tree, more than me usually. We have tones of ornaments to put on it.
But sometimes we are a bit to busy trying to hold my family together (Mom, Dad and now asshole brother) that we don’t get a tree for ourselves.
It’s been a hard year. My brother has turned from a wonderful guy and best friend to a person that has disowned and abandoned our dear caring mother. ‘Cause he fucked up, and my Mother had an opinion about. Mothers do that.
I needed a tree this year. My Wife and I decorated it last night.
I didn’t realize this was for single Dopers! Sorry.
A tree sounds nice, enipla
Ditto for me.
Well, I gave myself a couple early presents (bear in mind I saw these last year and didn’t indulge so it was a lengthy period of anticipation) :
Oh and a couple pieces of porcelain by artists I like. And then I got a crockpot on sale. That’ll pretty much be it because I want to redo my bathroom and kitchen this year.
For my birthday, I’ll probably go to Snowball
We’ll let you non-singles in…for a small price:
My Christmas list:
Laptop to replace the 8-year old desktop
iPod/mp3 player
New cell phone (possibly a smartphone as the PDA is starting to go too)
New TV (old TV will be 16 in February)
New camera (I want that corrects for shakiness…)
I’m getting myself the phone. Y’all are welcome to help me out with any of the above.
Cool poster, rigs. (There are several other presents that I covet as well.)

I haven’t decided. I may get a big flat-screen TV. But in truth I spend more time on my computer, so maybe I’ll get a new high-end computer. I just can’t decide.
Not so much a holiday gift as a it’s-dark-and-cold-outside-and-I-want-some-new-toys gift, but I picked up a couple of Lie Nielsen block planes recently.
That’s the way I’m leaning right now. I have to save up some cash to do it, but I will get there!
I’m seriously considering a new VW GTI.
A corset. I plan on wearing it to one of the Christmas parties. It’s red and black.
Santa Viva is giving me an Edgar Allan Poe nodder (bobblehead) from Archie McPhee, as well as a Demotivators calendar from Despair.com which I designed for myself, choosing a different design for each month.
So far.
I treat myself very well during the year, but the kids wanted something to wrap for me. So I picked them out a nice digital probe thermometer, with the understanding that if I need to cook something big before Christmas, I can use it. They do have it stashed in the spot where the tree is going tomorrow at least.
Santa brought me a fancy camera in June and half of an expensive taxidermy job last month. Thank you, Santa!
I got a few books, and I’m going snowboarding Christmas Day. Best day to go, other than the Super Bowl. Lots of singles there, too.
Both volumes of the Billy Bragg boxed set.
