[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am about to get through a tough few weeks, with a DH on extended travel during an insanely busy time at work, as well a major work accomplishment.  I want to buy myself a nice splurge gift.  I was thinking ipad but am trying to think more broadly.  Budget $500 (so the ipad is slightly over).  Don't want a new bag or purse.  Am thinking a great pair of shoes?  Jewelry?  Would love any suggestions .[/quote]

Buy an unexpected gift for someone who has lost a job, has been through times that are truly tough, e.g., their spouse died or they went through a harrowing divorce.  Just sent someone who is really in need $400.00 anonymously and spend the other $100.00 on yourself.

This kindness will make you feel a million times better than anything you would splurge on for yourself.  I know, because last week I saw a beautiful purse in watermelon pink and immediately thought of someone who loves that color.  I know there is no way that she could afford to buy anything for herself so I put a $100.00 bill and one penny in purse and had store deliver it to her and included a gift receipt.  She called me yesterday with shrieks and tears of happiness to tell me that she had received a package, no name or other way to identify who sent it to her, but she could now afford to give her daughter money for prom.  I was sorry that I couldn't have put in five $100.00 bills.[/quote]

Gag!  It's tacky to do this kind of thing and brag about it which is just what you are doing.  Selfless.  Get it?  SELF LESS.  Nobody needs to pat you on the back for it.  Stop fishing.
