I've been thinking a lot lately about the finer things in life, especially about treats. Most people think of a treat as a special gift, entertainment or other event - but it could also be extended to anything that brings pleasure or enjoyment.
Can we have a bit of audience participation here? Everybody has their own ideas about treats...
1. What springs to mind when you think about treats in your life?
2. Would you prefer one big treat or lots of small ones?
3. What's your favourite treat that's free, or relatively inexpensive?
4. Do you mainly treat yourself when you're upset, stressed or a bit down in the dumps?
5. Do you find it easier to treat yourself, or others? (or are both equally easy?)
I'll go first....
1. Borough market is full of tasty goodies, might nip there at the weekend. Oh, and nice underwear is the gift that keeps on giving, even if you buy it for yourself. Can't wait for that shipment of books from Amazon to arrive either - the anticipation! [oh dear, that's what the inside of my brain looks like this morning - it isn't always like this, honest...]
2. A big treat if it's an experience, rather than an object. Probably.
3. At the moment it's having raspberries with my breakfast in the morning. That and posh tea.
4. Sometimes, especially when the treat directly improves the situation slightly.
5. It used to be others, but now it's more equal.
Your turn please, Voxers....
It is Wifey's birthday this week and I'm torn about what to get for her. I think she needs something relaxing and either glam or entertaining. Some kind of spa experience maybe. Or perhaps membership of something, or a free pass for the cinema, or a subscription. Has anyone given (or been given) a lovely gift recently that was girly and cool at the same time?
Please tell me all about it!
Purchases will be made tomorrow.
