I got some money for Christmas this year which is rare so I am going to treat myself and buy a few things. I need some shirts and possibly another pair of jeans (I only have two that fit) and maybe I'll top it off with a few coloring items. I buy used or at places like TJ Maxx so I am going to try and stretch this as far as I can 
I'm excited!
Do you have money or gift cards to spend from the holidays? Any idea what you're wanting to buy?

I have gift cards to Nordstrom and BRU. I'm looking for new black skinny jeans.

Surprisingly, I don't! I think it's the first year that we haven't received gift cards. We gave a lot of gift cards this year since I couldn't think of good gifts
Oh wait, I received an Amazon gift card but I already spent it! I bought a pair of nice mat jeans!

I have some to gap/banana republic/old navy. I think I'm going to hold on to them until I need warm weather maternity clothes. i got some cash, too, but I already used some of it toward groceries today. If I get the rest in the bank soon, I'm going to buy some skin care stuff.

My $100 from my grandmother went towards my awesome new badass mixer. I spent $5 of the money from my dad on Starbucks, and the rest plus the $20 from SGMIL (step-grandmother-in-law) on cookbooks. Because I have a terrible cookbook problem. And I don't keep Christmas money for long!

We received $$$$ from my inlaws and my parents. And have about $300 in gift cards--to gap, Home Depot, bath and body works. Don't need anything now, so will save for later

I got some money from my parents. I was originally going to put it towards some cc bills, but my mom encouraged me to buy some things for myself. These post partum lbs aren't budging, so I bought some new clothes. I'm trying to buy things that I can wear for the office and at home, and Ann Taylor Loft has had some great sales the past few days.

We received a fair amount cash, it's all just getting saved. I got a gift card to The Loft (going to buy some Infiniti scarves) and to Victoria's Secret (will get new jammies). My husband has gift cards to Ralph Lauren and Home Depot

My dad gave me a gift card to the LCBO (liquor store in Ontario). But we told him like 5 mins before I opened it that I was pregnant. Lol. I'll be saving that for the summer!
Oh and a gift card to Victoria's Secret. It's so expensive to ship here though, so I haven't used it or the one I got last year yet.

We spent it already, my parents gifted us some Euros. Rather than exchange it, we used it while visiting my inlaws.

Yep! I got Target, a VISA GC, and cash. I spent my Target GC on the Ninja coffee bar and some sweaters. My cash was spent on my kids 
I've still got the VISA GC.
