Title: What are you gifting yourself for Christmas?
Post by: zombienixon on December 23, 2017, 10:16:31 AM: Sometimes it's difficult for people to get you exactly what you want, or maybe you think you've earned yourself a little treat, so you get a present from you to you.

I got myself a mix of diecast cars, ponies, and some EqG.

What are you getting for yourself this Christmas?

Post by: tailrustedtealeaf on December 23, 2017, 10:35:15 AM: I'm gonna go to after-Christmas sales and clear out the new pony toys in the next week.
Whatever I don't get on Monday will be gotten by the time I go back to school!

Post by: lordalexander74 on December 23, 2017, 10:46:31 AM: Bought a G4 All about AJ from Hasbro's ebay account, which came in a box 20 times larger than the toy.
Got a couple games from the Steam winter sale
Purchased a diamond badge for Everfree NW earlier, and will likely grab a Bronycon sponsor badge early next month

Post by: Miniature Sheep on December 23, 2017, 11:10:46 AM: I got myself a guitalele for Christmas, it's not turned up yet because it had to be ordered directly from the supplier, but I'm really looking forward to it. I was tempted to get a black one so it would look like a mini version of my full-size guitar, but this colour just stole my heart. It'll be nice to take out on hiking trips when the weather's a bit calmer. :)

Post by: Einhornbaby on December 23, 2017, 01:48:59 PM: I love what you picked :)

I chose G4 "Hoof-bump" Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash and BABW Yoshi <3 (well that one is technically not only for myself lol, I share him with hubby <3)
Title: Re: What are you gifting yourself for Christmas?
Post by: RoseNoire on December 23, 2017, 02:10:04 PM: I gifted myself this wonderful figure of DJ pon-3. Man, that Guardians of Harmony line is the best thing that happened in G4 toys, as well as the Funko figures (not the pops). :lol: It's my first one, I can't wait to proudly display it on my shelf.

They have a version with a seapony bag? Do you have any pictures?
Title: Re: What are you gifting yourself for Christmas?
Post by: RoseNoire on December 23, 2017, 02:36:09 PM: Zombienixon : I tried to picture my present like I did for DJ, but I couldn't find it on amazon anymore, I think the selling is gone. It was still a pre-order. (maybe 1 or 2 days before it ends, I got lucky. :lol: )

Dangint, I can't find it on google either. Well, let's use our imagination to combine this pattern(I think it was this one, or very similar) :

With this sort of "sport" bag(Very simple, but does its job) :

If I'm not mistaken, it looks approximately like this. Well, don't worry, If everything goes right, I'll take a picture when I'll get it. ^.^

Title: Re: What are you gifting yourself for Christmas?
Post by: Shatyr on December 23, 2017, 03:23:34 PM: I bought 3 playsets, including 2 I didn't have before, Dasher and Batty Boo from HQG1C and Lil Sweetcake and Lil Cupcake.

I may have spoiled myself this year.

Post by: BlackCurtains on December 23, 2017, 04:15:22 PM: I haven't decided yet. It'll be a 500gb SSD for my gaming rig, RAM and a new HD to upgrade my MacBook or a New 3DS XL.
Title: Re: What are you gifting yourself for Christmas?
Post by: Harmonie on December 23, 2017, 07:01:28 PM: I don't really have money, so all I got myself was a $15 iTunes gift card. I probably shouldn't have done that. But it was also in part rewarding myself for making straight A's.
Title: Re: What are you gifting yourself for Christmas?
Post by: Sky_Rocket_Sammie on December 23, 2017, 09:31:14 PM: Sabine Wren doll from the Forces Of Destiny series and the first two episodes of Rebels season 4 off Amazon digital.
Title: Re: What are you gifting yourself for Christmas?
Post by: Beldarna on December 23, 2017, 09:51:38 PM: It's a tradition nowadays that every store run an adventcalendar so a specific item is on sale on a specific day. This year I treated myself with a makeup palette a beautystore had on sale december 21st. It has 21 eyeshadows, six lipglosses, three highlights and three blushes, lip pencil, eye pencil and a couple of brushes. I rarely use make up but thought this one would be nice. Love the colours in it.

Those dolls look cool. I can't decide if I want the Rey with BB8 or if I'm going to wait for the Rey and Kylo 2 pack that is releasing, though. I want BB8 and Kylo, but I don't need two Rey dolls.
Title: Re: What are you gifting yourself for Christmas?
Post by: lovesbabysquirmy on December 24, 2017, 12:08:12 PM: *laughs* I hope each year that Christmas is magical and wonderful and special and all those things people talk about... and then every year... it sucks.

So I gift myself with expectations? ....

This year I was UN-invited from the Big Family Holiday Gathering. Specifically. Like my DH was told, "You and DD are invited. We are hoping LBS stays home because she obviously doesn't enjoy herself and she makes others unhappy because of it. Try to find a nice way to tell her to stay home."

yeah sorry no I hate small chit-chat talk with socialites, and last year, YES I accidentally fell asleep in a chair because I had worked a 14 hour day and SORRY BUT NOT SORRY said chair was by the front door. but wahhhh, all that matters are APPEARANCES and the country club membership! Heaven forbid I make the mayor's wife's cousin feel awkward when she asked a question that I didn't have a polite non-answer for, so I'd answered her with Reality which hurt her little feelings... awwwww... so now I don't get to go to the Family Gatherings anymore. *rolls eyes*

Post by: northstar3184 on December 24, 2017, 04:04:42 PM: I gifted myself one G3 Christmas pony: Jolly Lolly, who I adore.

Post by: invaderhorizongreen on December 24, 2017, 05:11:56 PM: I am getting myself some neocash, so I can get pretty things for all my side accounts.
Title: Re: What are you gifting yourself for Christmas?
Post by: DazzleKitty on December 24, 2017, 05:27:17 PM: Um..... I didn't really treat myself for Christmas really. But I did get a three book series I wanted and a new phone case recently. I guess that's my gift to myself. :P It's one of those pretty phone cases with liquid and glitter. It is ridiculous how much Sprint sells one for $49.99 but you can get one just as nice off of eBay for under $9
Title: Re: What are you gifting yourself for Christmas?
Post by: sangeeth on December 24, 2017, 07:10:23 PM: I gifted myself some Michael Jackson CDs, a calendar and book that has been in my wishlist for ages!

I'll let you know what I think of her once I debox her tomorrow(25th where I'm at). There's going to be a two pack?? Cool! I may keep collecting these, they seem well made.

Post by: ladyaquitaine on December 25, 2017, 12:52:40 AM: I bought myself a vintage Japanese wedding kimono that is absolutely gorgeous. Lots of jewelry, ponies, craft stuff, and I think I need to buy a new vacuum to suck up the crafting stuff that falls down around my table while I'm working on custom Dolls, miniatures and ponies.
Title: Re: What are you gifting yourself for Christmas?
Post by: Littlesparklepony on December 25, 2017, 05:15:05 AM: I bought a lot of Disneymovies in december and some new ponies. I´m going to shop some new clothes on the upcoming sales that is a gift for myself.

Post by: Luxrayx on December 25, 2017, 12:49:11 PM: I usually buy post-Christmas presents for myself, because then I can get things I've been holding off on buying in case I get them for Christmas :P
I'm thinking of buying myself a Pokemon plushie.

Post by: poniesthatsparkle on December 25, 2017, 03:12:09 PM: I won $100 from a scratch card so this weekend I'll be treating myself to a trip to my favorite flea market. I guess you could count my amazing Pony lot as an early Christmas present as well.

Title: Re: What are you gifting yourself for Christmas?
Post by: Koudoawaia on December 25, 2017, 07:26:20 PM: Got an epic amount of Amazon gift cards so I have treated myself to The Art of My Little Pony the Movie, the Prequel comic, volume 12 or 13 of the MLP comic, season 2 of Full House, seasons 1 and 2 of That's So Raven, Goodbye to the Holidays and Luna's Future from the extended MLP Christmas soundtrack, the Hey Arnold Jungle Movie, Home Alone 2 and Despicable Me 3.

Post by: Stiletto on December 28, 2017, 02:24:17 PM: My favorite gift to me so far has been an essential oil diffuser! I've been wanting one forever and just never bought one but I am so happy I did! Not only does it make your house smell good it adds moisture to the air (VERY dry where I live) and my skin is thanking me.

Congrats! Sometimes you need to treat yourself and music goes a long way.

Don´t know if you already figured it out but you have to use a BBC-code for example. I use Flickr and then copy the code.
