How much crap do you actually end up buying for yourself when you go Christmas shopping?

maybe 1 thing, but that one thing is probably a pack of chewing gum or some odd item.

usually nothing but possibly 1 thing...being a poor college student I have to spend whatever i have to get presents for anyone...if i can afford anything for myself i usually save it for a good night out on new years.

Either nothing or just one thing. I'm usually broke after buying gifts for half of the people on my list.

lets see:

buy my brother a cdrw got myself an amd xp1800+, gigabyte ga-7dx, 512 crucial pc2100, thermalright sk6

buy grandparents gift certificates, treat myself to dinner.


My biggest problem is that I shop for each person individually and I always end up buying crap for myself. I bet if I shopped for everyone at the same time, I wouldnt keep buying a bunch of crap for myself.

Usually just one "item", a six pack. Definitely need it after dealing with all of the holiday-crazed shopaholics.

Maybe just 1 thing ... only because of looking at so much cool stuff in a day, you gotta see something you like too much to just leave there!

Ugh, I'm soo guilty of this. Last year I thought I was doing a good thing by finishing my xmas shopping by Thanksgiving. Yes, it was all done a month in advance. But then there were all these xmas sales I couldn't resist going to and I ended up buying a bunch of clothes and a nice coat for myself. I remember one cashier asking me if I wanted it giftwrapped and I had to say "nope, it's all for me." :p

I usually don't buy crap for anyone, just nice things... ;)
Seriously, though, I just bought a new car for myself, so I can't really afford to buy presents for anyone at the present time. :(
