5 Treats You Can Buy as Gift to Reward Yourself Before the Year Ends

Giving yourself a present can feel challenging. If it's easier for you to spend money on other people than on yourself, take it easy. You're not alone, and you're probably at least an okay person.

It's still nice to treat yourself every once in a while, so consider treating yourself one thing this holiday season. Even if you choose a small item, you will feel good. Plus, the gift can't be disappointing if you already know what the present is.

Here are five excellent ideas.

1. "The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook" - their foolproof way to become the wizard they are in Hogwartz in the kitchen.

Dining a la Hogwarts is as easy as Banoffi Pie with this cookbook. You can indulge in spellbindingly delicious meals drawn straight from the pages of your favorite Potter stories with more than 100 easy-to-make recipes, techniques, and tips. Mrs. Weasley will surely be proud of you.

2. A deck of Dream Decoder cards for your friend (and you, let's be honest) who is always wondering why they keep dreaming about their teeth falling out.

Ever dream that you were flying? Or are you being chased? Do you wake up and ask yourself, 'what did that mean'? Dream Decoder offers 60 of the most typical dreams, explaining what your unconscious mind is telling you, and what events or situations in your waking life might inspire specific ideas.

3. A homemade gin kit for the gin to your tonic.

This kit makes 750ml of homemade gin. You can also buy the refill packs that offer different flavors, too (which is sold separately, by the way). You can't wait to see how good those come out. If you like gin, then this Homemade Gin Kit is recommended.

4. While we're on the topic of ~smells~, a bottle of Poo-Pourri.

Poo-Pourri seems to catch most of what you'd get after the fact, leaving behind only the lowest trace after the actual deed is done, covered almost entirely by the rather potent citrus scent. It's far more bearable than what you'd typically get. Just spray the poo-remover the bowl before-you-go, and no one else will ever know. This is your non-toxic before-you-go toilet spray that stops bathroom odors before they ever begin - seriously!

5. A pair of lightsaber chopsticks so you can have a pre-meal chopstick duel to decide who does the dishes afterward.

It's time to impress all your guests with your epic lightsaber chopsticks, which will take your sushi nights to another star galaxy, far, far away! Wage colorful wars your sushi, noodles, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, or Vietnamese food with your light-up chopsticks, which feature bright red and blue LED's.

Final thoughts

Why not give something that'll help your friends and loved ones take some much-needed me-time this holiday season? Or, you know, give yourself a little self-love. While buying presents for your significant other, your nephew, your coworkers, and everyone else on your list this year, do not forget to buy something special for that special someone - you!
