Jessica23 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Notebooks and fountain pens. I have a huge stationery fetish, and it's much cheaper than clothes and shoes etc even to buy really nice ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Rock Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Holidays for me. Luxurious and the finest. That's what I work hard for all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LitleMermaid Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Notebooks and fountain pens. I have a huge stationery fetish, and it's much cheaper than clothes and shoes etc even to buy really nice ones. The smell of a brand new note pad! And the possibilities it brings with it I will not skimp on food. This doesn't mean I always spend a fortune; (who doesn't love a plate of beans on toast now and again?), but I am a bit of a snob with regards to what I eat a lot of the time! I definately skimp on clothes though-I'd rather have four cheap pairs of different boots then one expensive pair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanl Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 My Christmas luxury are good crackers...nice dinner ones with nice gifts inside. I look upon these as my special treat (to me) I don't believe in cheap loo paper. I know it just goes down the loo but I think its false economy to buy cheap stuff. You use twice as much in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
