From you to you

There are many reasons why it is better to buy yourself a gift, for one thing you know exactly what you would like and why wait for someone to buy it for you when you can buy it yourself. Also, there is always something to celebrate when you look for it and rewarding yourself for reaching big and small milestones in your life is important. It allows us to pause and say ‘well done’ - we are deserving of self-appreciation and a nice treat. We have some great suggestions to nudge you to splurge - from me to me.
