As this article is being written, and as I am sure you are well aware, we are in the midst of a global pandemic. The SARS-CoV-19 virus has been with us for nearly a year now and has claimed over a million lives. Christmas has come and gone and the New Year is just getting started. But, with the New Year, comes the New Year’s sales. It is this author’s opinion that, after such a rough year, we should all treat ourselves, which is exactly what this article is going to tell you about doing.
Yes, in this article we are going to tell you about seven budget-friendly gifts you can buy yourself as a treat. Buying yourself a gift once in a while can’t hurt, can it? After all, we think you deserve it the way that last year went!
Here are seven budget-friendly things to buy yourself as a treat.
1. Sleeper Chair
A sleeper chair, a sofa bed, or a daybed, whatever you want to call it, can be a great gift to get yourself. These chairs are designed to help you nap during the daytime, and they can even be used to sleep on overnight. If you live in a small, compact apartment, then they may well be the best option for you. When searching, find a sleep chair which suits you by going into the showroom and checking out what they have to offer. We assure you, it’s a purchase you won’t regret.
2. Pajamas
Hey, the lockdown is still in place and many of us won’t be going anywhere anytime soon, right? Why not invest in a pair of pajamas – silk pajamas to be exact. You can find these pajamas, although expensive, in most home supply and upmarket clothing stores. Silk pajamas are a gift that you will adore for years to come and they are a gift you will likely find yourself wearing everywhere you go – even out of the house! Silk pajamas are an investment we definitely think you should consider making.
3. Bespoke Clothing
A bespoke item of clothing is one that you will love for years to come. Bespoke clothing, whether it be a suit from London’s famous Savile Row, a shirt from Jermyn Street, or anything else, is something you will adore for a lifetime. Bespoke clothing, which is tailored perfectly to your measurements and designed to fit you like a glove, is something more people should invest in. While admittedly, bespoke items of clothing can cost a lot of money, they are an investment into your future and will, if treated with love, last you an entire lifetime, so why not? Combine the outfit with a nice gold heart bracelet and you’re bound to look (and feel) amazing!”
4. Tech
If you are less into clothes and more into technology, why not seize the opportunity of the January sale season and invest in some technology? Whether it be Apple’s new iPhone, a laptop, or the PlayStation 5 – now’s the time to start thinking about making a purchase. With more time spent indoors, why not invest in something to keep you occupied? Keeping yourself occupied, at this time, is a good way to keep yourself sane. Sitting around at home doing nothing will be a detriment to your mental health and, truthfully, can be very, very boring.
5. Perfume
Perfume, whether it be cologne for men or perfume for women, can be a great gift. Another thing worth checking out, something that is very popular in the Middle East and is the height of luxury, is Oudh. Oudh, which is an Arabic oil-based scented perfume, is the very pinnacle of luxurious living. Oudh can be very expensive, however, so if you are looking for some, be sure to find some within your price range. Speaking as someone somewhat addicted to collecting Oudh – it can become very moreish and before you know it you will have a small fortune’s worth in your cupboard.
6. Treats
Why not buy yourself a real treat, like, the eating kind? A sweet treat could be a great way to reward yourself after such a tumultuous and uncertain year. Whether it be baklava, a cake, or your favorite snack, give it some thought, I think it’s fair to say that you dessert it… sorry, deserve it.
7. Vacation
Flight restrictions are due to be lifted soon, so when they are, why not consider taking a vacation? Flying abroad could be just what you need to unwind after a year of uncertainty, fear, and the threat of a lurking killer.
In this article, we hope to have explained six treats you can give yourself as a reward for making it through one of the worst years for generations. We hope that you have enjoyed the read and that you will come back and visit us soon. Thank you!
