There comes a time in life when we all think to ourselves, "I deserve a little treat." That gift for yourself could be anything — a delectable dessert, a cute new piece of clothing, maybe even a new skincare staple. Regardless, we're here to tell you that buying a new goodie for yourself, especially during holidays, is never a bad thing. In fact, we encourage it. When was the last time you took the time and spent the money on yourself after all? Our guess is it's probably been a while.
There's no need to justify a gift for yourself, but if you must, why don't you take some time to think of all you've accomplished: You hit triple digits on your bench press? That calls for a new addition to your home gym. You PR'ed in a half marathon? Upgrade your headphone situation in preparation for your next big race. Renovated that room in your house all on your own? (Or at least, that's your story, and we'll back you up.) Take your tool bench to the next level.
Have no shame about your self-gifting game. We support indulging in luxury every once in a while, and you should too! You've bought gifts to thank all your friends and family for being there for you this past year, so it's time for some ideas to thank you for being there for you.
Below, check out our list of the best gifts for yourself, which consists of some of our favorite items that we've bought for ourselves, as well as some goodies we'd love to have. As gifting experts, we're fairly confident you'll find at least a half-dozen items perfect for Y-O-U!
Imagine a world where you don't just throw toiletries into your suitcase and hope you can find them all once you get to your destination.

Better yet, it comes with a hanger and unfolds to reveal everything so you won't have to spend hours searching for a clip. Don't you feel calmer just looking at it?

It's easy to make a big financial investment in your own fitness that never yields results: After all, just because you buy some big piece of equipment, doesn't mean you'll make the big lifestyle change it takes to use it.
That's what makes the Fitbit so great. It doesn't ask you to overhaul all your habits in a day, but it does encourage you to just take a few more steps each hour, or be a bit more active each day. And those helpful little hints will add up to real results sooner than you'd expect.
