JBKing Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 If you bought any items today for yourself, do you go ahead and use them now, or wait until Christmas? I would like to start using my DVD recorder as soon as it comes in from BB online, but DW is going to make me wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allystl Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Use them now!!! Or as soon as UPS can dekliver them to me (shopped in St. Louis- and live in Atlanta). Can't WAIT to watch my 37 LCD tv! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShopperMom Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I bought some picture frames from both Kohl's and Michaels today, along with a few decorative shelves, also a candle holder on ebay. I'm torn, I should wait until Christmas, but we'll see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond_girl Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 The only thing I bought for myself was a pair of shoes, and I will be wearing them when the first opportunity presents itself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angel-too Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I bought a 15" LCD TV, Dying to open it NOW, but I buy myself so much, I think oh, this can be my Christmas present. But if I open it now, I know my DH will want me to open something Christmas morning, and I don't want him to just buy anything, because I buy so much as it is........................Meanwhile, the LCD sits looking at me, Open, open, open........................

beccas302 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Bought the Garth Brooks box set and am listening to it right now! Dh said "gee, what if I had wanted to wrap that for the tree?" I told him he could have the empty box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhakiBoy Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 All the shopping I did today was for myself Shopping for gifts can wait! LoL I already opened everything and plan to start using it. Especially since almost everything I got has rebates, so want to make sure they work before I go cutting off the UPCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootsieroll23 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Everything we bought today is going under the tree. DS doesn't understand why Santa doesn't bring us anything. Of course I think I will have to sneak some of my Bath & Body stuff out tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBKing Posted November 26, 2005 Author Share Posted November 26, 2005 DW doesn't agree with me that the Staples Samsung 19" LCD is so much better than our 17" CRT monitor, that we should hook it up now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziptar Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I went to CC The laptop is for my Wife and am setting it up to use now. I got the Nintendo Game Cube Mario Party $99 Bundle for my daughters. that's going under the tree. I got one of the $6.99 50 DVD-R Spindles for me. I stuck it in drawer for later use.

outnumbered Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I tend to use things when I buy them--it seems kinda silly to buy myself a new jacket and then not wear it for a month and just be cold--you know? And unwrapping a gift that I bought and wrapped for myself still isn't any kind of surprise, so it doesn't help me feel like I have more gifts under the tree to wait.

tootsieroll23 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Well if we used everything we bought ourselves on BF we wouldn't have anything under the tree to unwrap. I don't want to go out and keep buying more so we will have something to unwrap. The kids want to get something for us. So I will use some of the items we bought on BF for them to give us. Like the DVD-R, Bath and Body, just small things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenofshopping Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 everything i grabbed for myself i gave to my mom for her to give me for xmas...less shopping for her to do, & as i always remind her, i spend about half of what she would (bc she never looks for any sales) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yogiyb Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Last year, the TIVO was set up the same day so we could record the holiday specials. This year the husband is not backing down on the IPOD so it's being wrapped. But so is the XM radio he doesn't know about yet!!! HAHAHa!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbasket Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I bought myself a camcorder and started using it today. Got to learn how to use it before Christmas. Also got myself a pair of shoes and I am already wearing those. I think I did more shopping for myself than I did on my Christmas list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hope1976 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Well I love to use the computer now, however it's on layaway We are both so impatient that the items for ourselves will most likely not be wrapped up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threelittlecupcakes Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 The only thing I bought myself was the crockpot at menards. It is still in the box. My SIL wanted one last year and I jokingly got her the Walmart $5 special. I may just give this one to her. I always wanted one like that, but where the heck am I going to store in when not in use-my kitchen is too small and it has no plans on becoming bigger!
