for those of you that your husbands don't buy a gift or those of us who only have dxh's - do you buy yourself a yom tov gift ?
I think we deserve to treat ourselves ... last year I bought a new haggada with gift monies ...
this year I think I'll settle for toothbrushes ... [you win some you lose some]

You're so holy! Good for you.
I bought myself some jewelry while looking for shirts for my boys. (Deep Kohl's clearance. I do not feel deprived!)

While I shop for the kids new stuff lkuved yom tov I usually treat myself to something new too. Sometimes it's a new outfit, robe or jewelry or any household item. Dh doesn't buy me gifts too often, maybe once every other year after I beg him. For this pesach I got myself a new watch after begging dh the last year or so that he should get me a watch because my old broke.

I was near a mitpacha store with DH last month, so I dragged him in, looked around, handed him 2 items, said "Happy Pesach to me" & let him charge it on his card.
Otherwise, I'd just get what I want.
It's kinda all my money anyways.

Yes, I do. If we're home for yom tov, I buy something either to enhance the table (flowers, a new napkin holder, etc.) or a new article of clothing, slippers, headgear, etc. in order to treat myself for all the hard work involved.

I treat myself to a little self care (waxing), and some new clothes if I need them. So what if I could do it any time? It feels special to do it l'koved yom tov.

I treat myself for my b'day, or if I've handled a bad situation well, or if I'm celebrating a good thing that happened to me. (though the latter two would more likely be taking us/friends out to dinner.) I do buy myself a birthday gift with $$ I've been given for my b'day.
(and I don't attach this to anything DH does or doesn't do. )

Nope. No time. No extra money. I only buy necessities, no gifts. But then again one person's necessities are another person's luxuries so I've no complaints.

No gifts but I try to do something nice for myself. This year I fixed a necklace that I love that was broken. I might get an extra coffee then budgeted. It's the small things.

I am getting a couple of new books and a new rucksack for work. Then again, I am buying those things because I need them/ always wanted to have them, and not necessarily for Pessach. So my dh might get something for me too.

What some people consider a luxury is for others a necessity. I will treat myself to a mani/pedi after all the hard work I have done for Pesach (and all year)... It's part of my TO DO list, but it's my very own Yom Tov gift to myself

yes, I splash out on mmishpacha, binah and ami before each major chag! If we have money available, or given any money gifts by parents, then I will treat myself to a new novel for yomtov! as you can tell, reading is my greatest hobby, and when else is there time to read but shabbos ad yomtov!

Some of the best gifts are the ones I buy for myself, whenever I want.
I don't want DH to buy me anything ever, unless I chose it.
I BH have everything I need, and want for nothing, I beg all those around me never to buy me anything, because I just usually end up giving it away.
The best gifts in life are free, health, love, nachas, and time to enjoy them.
