Whether it’s something you’ve always wanted to try, like an air fryer or a soundbar, or something that could improve your life, like a smartwatch, stop putting off until tomorrow what you can buy today. .
If you haven’t kept adding to your wishlist, here are some self-gifts to consider.
Why you should treat yourself to shopping
While many people jokingly refer to shopping for fun as “retail therapy,” there are real scientific benefits. According to a study published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology, shopping for pleasure can reduce residual sadness. This is because it gives you control over your surroundings when you have been in a sad situation where you are not in control. So really, shopping for fun is better for you than you think.
