You’ve heard of re-gifting but what about me-gifting? If you’re not familiar with it, me-gifting is the act of buying gifts for yourself while shopping for others. I’m SO guilty of this but can usually pull it off by giving the gifts to my hubby and having him wrap them and put the under the tree. Ok, so technically that’s cheating but it makes me feel a little better about it!
Today I rounded up some perfect me-gifts and just in case your hubby isn’t up for wrapping them, I’ve removed the guilt another way. Every product on this list does something to “give back”.
Let’s just call this the ForGiving Gift Guide: Forgive Yourself for Shopping for You!
