The Best Gifts to Buy Yourself This Holiday Season

Dear Santa, I've been good this year. (At least for the most part). Every year, I make my list, check it twice, and give it to those both naughty and nice. (And we both know Cousin Jim should get coal). With all the gifts I'm giving, it'd sure be nice to start receiving the items I really want. Which is why I'm doing something new this year. I decided to buy for myself the things I wanted under my tree. If you wanna drop off a little something too, dear Santa, I won't stop you. Sincerely, I'm treating myself this year

Each time Christmas rolls around, we're off buying for everyone else. Sometimes we get lucky and our loved ones get us things we actually want, and then sometimes we end up with a blender. Today, we're giving you permission to be selfish. That's right. It's time to treat yourself this holiday season.

How often do we shop at the stores and say, "I sure wish I could have that." But then, we don't buy it? We pass by the pretty things, the luxury items, the stuff we don't necessarily need. Well this year, it's time to show yourself love and appreciation. 'Tis the season to be merry and bright, and our special list of gifts to buy yourself, will do just that.

Taking care of yourself is a positive thing. As Dr. Jeffrey Borenstein, President and CEO of the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation, says, "Self-love is another way to say self-care. When you hold yourself in high esteem, you're more likely to choose things that nurture your well-being and serve you well." Treating yourself is a form of self-care. This holiday season, take a moment to honor yourself through personal, emotional, and sexual care.
