Lastnight I had ordered a new tunic top for myself as a Christmas gift for me.

What if anything will you buy yourself for the holiday?

A bunch of new clothes, and a pair of comfortable headphones. The latter I bought, but accidently typed a 4 instead of 1 in the address, so who knows where it'll end up. Shoes, I'm going to buy Friday, when I go shopping with Shaina.

I didn't buy any for myself. I did buy a couple for the two cuties in my avatar, though. ;D

A corset. I am having most of my initial appointments this month, but I bought the corset as a gift to myself.

I have several little statuettes, most of them are aspects of depression but I've recently discovered a little "happy place" within me and wanted a happy little avatar:

Other than this, I'll probably just get myself a big bag of peanut M & Ms... :P

Hmm Christmas gift? Gosh even though there's something I want it'll have to wait, so in the mean time. Rest. The Christmas gift I will give myself is a nice day of rest and relaxation.

Nabbed myself a cyber monday purse, and a couple new pairs of plugs. I gauged up for the first time in about 4 years, so I need some new jewelry.

I got really lucky this time :D
I got them online and they had them in my size, so I bought a pair in the grey and a pair in the black. They arrived tonight and they fit my big feet perfectly :)
The other pair were a bit of a squeeze and may god back.
I wish I could see how to add a picture :(

I think you win. HRT is the best gift ever! I've said it before and I'll say it again- you will pry my estrogen from my cold, dead hand.

I bought myself some laser! First appointment is next Sat for a consultation. I'm so excited, I can't wait. Now I have to try to restrain my self from buying myself another gift and just shop for others.

Sometimes what comes up on this site is so shocking!
I read this thread's subject heading - 'Christmas gifts to yourself' - and started crying! I never think of buying gifts for myself; I don't believe I am worthy...
So, I'm going to give this matter some consideration and get back to you.

Of course you're worthy! Why wouldn't you be.
I do kind of know where your coming from I think. Sometimes I feel selfish buying things for my self. But darn it no one else is going to buy some of the things I want or need.

I kind of think this Christmas will be either (1) incredibly joyous and affirming with family buying me things I actually want... or (2) the most dysphoric season of all.
I'm an optimist to a fault...... and I'm still betting on #2.
