[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]

Very kind of you PP. But I think it might freak some people out if someone did this anonymously.[/quote]
