Even though Christmas is about the spirit of giving, sometimes you have to take time out for yourself. I’m not saying that you should forgo gifts for the fam and buy yourself a brand new PS3 instead, I’m just saying that a little gift for you here and there might help keep you sane amidst all the Christmas craziness. I usually end up getting myself a little something while I’m on the hunt for that last elusive gift – it just sort of jumps out at me. The first time it happened, I felt a little guilty about buying myself a gift when I was supposed to be shopping for Christmas gifts. Don’t worry, I quickly got over it. That first gift was a $40 wallet for $10, and I never looked back. But if some of you are a little skeptical about this whole process, maybe you should start small. Try purchasing a Christmas item for your home, that way it’s not really for you so much as it is jazzing up your decor.
A fairly painless purchase, the Jumbo Tube Sock X-Mas Stocking (Perpetual Kid, $11.99) is an easy way to buy something for yourself this year without feeling selfish. I mean, you totally needed a new stocking, right? Yours was so old that it was falling apart, had holes in the toe area, and your name had rubbed off. It was just a sad, sad sight. Sure, you could go out and get a generic looking stocking, one that really screamed “Christmas!” and that would be the end of it. Or, you could break out of your conformist bubble and get a stocking that reflects your personality. You’re all about the tube socks (nobody likes cold feet, especially in the winter) so why not get a stocking that’s obviously yours that you don’t even need to put your name on it? And get this, it’s 21 inches long! The bigger the stocking, the more items inside. It’s a win-win.
If you’re still not sure about the whole gift for yourself thing, you can buy a bunch of these for the whole family. Who wouldn’t want a tube sock stocking, especially when they find out that it can hold a ton more candy and other holiday loot? I mean, besides the Grinch, but he doesn’t really count because he doesn’t like anything.
3 out of 5 stars.
