I had a not-so-great mother, who liked to deprive me of things we could easily have paid for. When I went to college, she didn't buy me anything, and I bought my own twin sheets with the money I made from my job and I didn't know to get twin xl and so they didn't fit. So I had sheets that I just had to lay on even though they literally didn't attach to the bed at the bottom. My duvet thing didn't fit either. My roommate complained that the room didn't look good because of it.

Pottery Barn Teen has a dorm room supplies build-your-bed feature, and I can spend hours choosing various Love Shack Fancy sheet, duvet, throw, and throw pillow combos.


I'm so sorry that happened to you. You deserved a mom who would lovingly pick out and purchase the things you needed to make your college dorm room a home.

I'm a middle-aged lady. I bought myself a Squishmallow that I first saw at the grocery store. because it makes me laugh so hard. It's a green moose that completely inverts to become a stuffed peppermint. I passed it up multiple times but couldn't stop thinking about it.

There's an avocado that transforms into a bowl of guacamole. I have my eye on that.

Cashmere sweaters. I can't enough of them but I also have zero need at this point.

I like buying PB teen stuff for myself too. I bought a set of hello kitty mirror for my 41 year old ass šŸ˜

I have a similar mom who finally bought me a duvet in year 2011 and last month she checked in to make sure I still have it. I donā€™t.

She also gave me a lesson on how I donā€™t cherish my things - a sweater she bought me in 2005 and 20 lbs ago.

Love stationery too! But right now Iā€™m looking at aquariums and fish. I definitely do not need another pet!

A Clash de Cartier necklace. I can afford it, but donā€™t need it and feel guilty with frivolous spending like this.

For me, it's stationery. I have nobody to write to though. So I kill time happily looking on Amazon and Etsy and Crane at stationery I'd like - this one for letters, that one for thank you notes, etc. I pick out different types for different moods I might be in, different types of people I'd send notes to (elderly aunt vs. my many famous friends vs. my more artsy famous friends vs. stationery that would be solely for one friend bc it'd make them laugh, etc.).

Your turn?
