We’re not living in the best of times financially, but there are a few ways that you can treat yourself on a budget. Plus you can do two things at once and go for something a little more practical that doesn’t feel so frivolous.
If you’re looking for a way to give you a little pick-me-up and do something just for yourself, then you’ll want to check out these awesome ideas:
Get New Pillows
When it boils down to it, you probably need to get yourself new pillows anyway since they do need to be switched out every few years. This is one of the most practical ways to treat yourself and you’ll probably get better sleep!
Buy a Lap Desk
Many of us are still working from home and will probably be for a while still. Sadly, we can’t all hop on a plane and go work beachside, but we can make working from home more comfortable with a lap desk. I have one of these, it works wonders when I’m proofing content on the balcony at night.
Up Your Beauty Routine
There are a few ways that you can introduce new items into your beauty routine without breaking the bank, and one of the best ways is to get yourself a face mask. Make sure you double-check the ingredients because not all face masks are the same, but this can be a great way to have a “break.”
Another great option is to start switching out your products for clean products. You won’t want to do this all at once because, money, but you can start small with deodorant or face cream. You’ll feel better and a bit more luxurious.
Get a Bath Pillow
Ready to start personalized small right in your own home? Start thinking about getting yourself a bath pillow. This is a great affordable way to treat yourself, that also serves a (somewhat) practical purpose. And, ultimately, you’ll love it.
Order a Back Massager
Do you ever get a pesky itch in the middle of your back that you simply can’t scratch? Or need to get out a knot in a pinch but are short a masseuse? If either of those is the case for you, then it sounds like a back massager is in order.
Another great treat yourself buy is a head-scratcher, they’re less practical than a back massager but they still get the job done. Plus those weird ones with the spider legs feel awesome.
Find a Comfy Pair of Slippers
There is nothing more important to the work from home crowd than their in-house footwear—Ok, technically there probably is but having great shoes to wear around the house.
And what’s better than a comfy pair of slippers? Absolutely nothing! If you’re looking to treat yourself, this is a great way to do it!

Tae started out as a journalist before following the money into the corporate world. But it turns out that the grass isn’t always greener and now you can find her spending most of her time writing about all the things she loves. Namely, money, travel and business with a hefty dose of self-deprecating humor. She is a podcast fanatic, blogging aficionado and loves to find new ways to turn passions into cold hard cash!
New pillows is always a great suggestion. I invested in latex pillows a few years ago and they were quite pricy but worth every penny.
The small things often make the biggest difference!
