with $45 of Christmas money, would you

Buy something nice for yourself. If you are anything like us, I don't usually buy stuff for myself, but Chad doesn't mind more diapers if I'm careful.

I'm using some Christmas money for a mattress topper. I sleep like crap and have been meaning to get one for quite a while, but things always come up.

Money I get for me is all about me, me, me. I don't ever usually feel guilty spending money on my kids, and I definitely am a penny pincher when it comes to myself. When someone gives me a gift of money, I let go of all my mommy guilt about it and buy something that I need or want. Spend it on yourself.

I voted save it bc I'm sooo stingy and hate spending money just to spend money.

I'm with ITK on this one. For Christmas DH gave me some cash simply bc I never have "mad money" these days. It seems impersonal, but it's actually about the most thoughtful gift he has ever given me. I'm not sure yet what to get, so for now I'm saving it.

I'm using my Xmas gift money for a tongue piercing. At least that's what I think I'm going to do with it. I had one when I was younger and really liked it, but had to take it out when I got my first job. Now that I'm a SAHM, the dress code doesn't apply lol.

I agree with others. Spend it on you! I have a little Christmas money and some gift cards and am debating between an under a shelf light for my craft room, or a new craft machine that I've been wanting, or saving the money for NB pictures (something MH is against paying for).

Well, I guess, based on the recommendations here, I'm going to save it until I can think of something for me that I really want bad enough to spend my money on. I have a couple things I want but not bad enough to buy or I want them but have no ability to use them in current home and no guarantee I'd want or be able to use in a future home and no ability to store so not buying those items. I think dh is right. I am hard to buy for.

J didn't want to pay for NB pics either, but we did it and we're both so glad we did. It's such a cliche, but they grow so so fast. It's great we have those pics from when she was just a little squish.

Thank you!! MH keeps saying that I can take my own or my mother in law can, but I know the quality isn't the same, but that just isn't something he sees.
