If you won't treat yourself, who will?
When you buy your own birthday gifts – either as a personal treat, or to spend the money that someone has given you for your birthday – make it something special and memorable.
Forget New Year's resolutions – there's nothing like a birthday to make you look back at your life and consider things you'd like to change to build a better future.
Maybe you'll want to change your image with a makeover, lose some weight, change your job, get new interests. Or perhaps you should just treat yourself, because if you don't value yourself you can hardly expect others to.
