Are you like me and love to shop for others, but keep an eye out for something that might be perfect for someone just as important, like yourself? And why shouldn’t we treat ourselves once in a while, right? We all work hard and the holidays can be a bit stressful. If I happen to find a fun item I can enjoy, then I say buy that baby up! This year I have done a great deal of my shopping online, so I have not had as many opportunities to find something neat, but I have seen a few items I wanted to share. You might just get some inspiration for yourself from this selection and the best part is when it is a gift for you, there is no deadline of December 24th!
My Faves (so far :-))
Inkspirations, Colouring For Adults
The perfect way to unwind and relax after a long day is colouring! We all loved to do it as children and the fun does not need to stop when you have grown. Inkspirations is art therapy at it’s finest. With illustrations full of flowers, animals and all sorts of whimsical scenes, you will find yourself getting excited to start a new page. There are many beautiful colouring books full of original artwork to choose from and they all come with life-affirming messages and quotes to make your day a little brighter. Visit Inkspirations today!
La Roche-Posay Lipikar Fluide
This cream is perfect for making your skin look and feel healthy and amazing! It helps to alleviate dry skin and keep it hydrated all winter long. It will also provide protection against the nasty elements of the coldest time of the year and leave your skin feeling wonderful. ♥ It works beautifully for those who suffer from eczema and other irritations.
La Roche-Posay Toleraine Ultra Overnight
It is hard to look your best when you are tired, but this miracle worker can help! Enriched in La Roche-Posay’s thermal spring water, the strong soothing agent targets signs of skin irritation due to dryness to help reduce redness and discomfort, allowing you to put your best face forward all day long.
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Levres
The lovely soothing lip balm will have you ready for the mistletoe in no time! Your dry, cracked lips will feel and look kissable when this repair balm goes to work. Smile pretty 🙂
Amrita Sen Line of Adult Colouring Books and Stationary
The craze of adult colouring books is one of my favourites. I have always loved to colour and this collection is from Amrita Sen, a well-known Bollywood singer. Her collection of stationary items are beautifully created with gorgeous hues and designs and are inspired from her music.
Double-Ended Coloured Pencils
I am sure you can find different brands of these, but the ones I love are from Chapters. You can get them in sets of 12, 24, 48 and probably more! They are perfect for using with your adult colouring books and pack double the punch with two colours per pencil. 🙂 Gotta love a bargain!
Infinity Scarves
I love to wear scarves in the winter, but they can not be too heavy or too light. Last year I discovered the infinity scarf and I have not looked back. My current fave is in shades of gray and goes with everything, but I also love to add in ones with a pop of colour for some fun!
Notebooks
You can buy a nice notebook in pretty much every store you set foot into these days, but I recently found that you can do a little more customization on VistaPrint. I had this cutie made up for my blog for less than five dollars! They are great for keeping in your purse or having on your desk for phone messages, etc.
Coffee Mugs
I love a good mug, especially in the cold months, but I have one requirement. They must be big! Whether I am drinking tea, coffee, hot chocolate or cider, the mug must be big. I saw this really cute one at Chapters and I think it is perfect!
Have you purchased anything special for yourself this holiday? What items are your favourite?

I treated myself to a few new Christmas decorations, even though my house is bursting with them. I like the mug with mama on it.
I rarely treat myself .. especially at this time of year. However, my husband spoils me. Every year when shopping is all done we never have enough to buy each other anything.. or so I think, but my husband always manages to somehow get shopping done and by me a few things….some say I’m spoiled…
I say I’m loved… 🙂
It’s hard to treat yourself when you have so many others to buy for but definitely a good idea.
Great list but I’d probably head to the Cosmetics section or buy a pair of shoes and that would make me very happy
That’s a great list of items. Something as simple as drawing usually helps me relax during stressful times.
well I must admit, I almost treated myself to a new tablet….. but glad I didn’t. Hubby surprised me with one for Christmas!
Thats a nice list,i treated myself to new back splash for my kitchen this year.
I absolutely love this new trend of Colouring For Adults – it honestly appeals to me – so therapeutic!!! Inkspirations are great products! 🙂
Yes, I did this year first time in years too. I treated myself to an Actifry, which hopefully means that I’ll be healthier too.
I changed my mind I’m going to get a pair of beats headphones because they’re on sale at best buy. Merry Christmas to me!
The La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Levres sounds like such a quality product – my lips are so chapped this winter!
This is great, I used to use la-roche-posay, safe to say it’s great!
I purchased new colourful serving bowls for myself. I love the mug you purchased and the adult colouring book. Both are so soothing
I should really have bought cupboards as I have so little storage space, never mind there’s still time to get those too. 🙂
Uhm, some lego 🙂 It’s fun and I love having something to show for it at the end.
I bought a paint set , it was fun and relaxing , i;m not good but i love it anyway ! 😀 I really love that mama bear cup ! the to to sweet !
Thanks to this post though I was inspired to dig out my pencil crayons and a mandala book I was given a while ago, It’s been fun 🙂
These are all great gift ideas, I love treating myself once in awhile, it feels good to get something special!!
I believe that even when things are tight financially we should should all treat ourselves now and again – even if it’s only to a lottery ticket or a bar of chocolate.
Treating yourself after the holidays is kinda a must here. The holidays are so hectic and chaotic, surviving it is well deserving
Now it is time to relax,put my feet up and treat myself.
I have a couple of books to read and relax with and I have always loved reading.
I love buying myself skin care products.
My go to are cups/mugs that are unique. I have a whole cabinet full of neat ones.
