I have a birthday coming soon. Every year I make a key lime pie to celebrate. It's my favorite and I savor it for eight nights. I believe in 12 days of birthday - like the 12 days of Christmas - but, alas, the pie only lasts for 8.
Other gifts to myself:
-- Staying debt free - the benefits are myriad. I sleep well every night, no stress, no anxiety. No complaints. It's the best gift I've ever given myself and highly recommended. No loans, my credit card bills are paid in full every month. A save half, spend half budget works for me.
-- Good health - for which I am grateful every day. I celebrate by going for a brisk walk every morning (weather permitting) about sunrise.
-- Cheap treats - this year I gave myself a $20 one year sub to a streaming channel. It was a godfather offer I couldn't refuse. I get to watch tournament golf, plus movies, the Olympics, tv-reruns. A gift I'll enjoy daily for the next year.
Celebrate the good things you've done for yourself. Sleep well.
