Treating yourself to a Vendula London purse and a giveaway!
Most of the time, we are so busy looking after others or buying gifts for others that when it comes to buying gifts for ourselves, we often forget to treat ourselves, and even when we do, we feel guilty about buying something nice for ourselves. I want to tell you that if this is you, you need to stop feeling guilty and treat yourself from time to time.
This is a collaborative post.
It’s nice to buy a gift for yourself; in fact, I would even go as far as saying that gifting yourself a treat now and then isn’t just an act of indulgence; it’s crucial for your self-care and mental wellness.
Whether it’s a small token of appreciation for your hard work, a celebration of an achievement, or simply a way to lift your spirits on a dreary day, treating yourself can boost your mood, increase your self-esteem, and even improve your productivity.
What gifts might you buy yourself?
So what gifts are good for treating yourself? Well, the honest answer is anything you like. It doesn’t have to be expensive or luxurious, so long as it’s something you are buying just for yourself.
You might decide to buy yourself a takeaway, a bottle of your favourite wine, your favourite perfume, that book you’ve been wanting to read, your favourite sweets or chocolates, a pair of shoes, a piece of clothing or even a whole outfit.
You might even decide to splash out on a new handbag or purse that you’ve had your eye on for a while but haven’t wanted to because you feel bad buying something that is just for you for no other reason than as a treat to yourself.
Would you like to win a new purse?
I was recently gifted a “The Old Sweet Shop Zipper Coin Purse” from Vendula London. I absolutely love it and I have one to give away to one of my readers too.
This cute purse measures 10cm (H) x 15cm (W) x 1cm (D). It is made from printed and embossed vegan leather with hand-stitched details. It has one main compartment with zip closure, has 3 card slots and an attachment keychain. It will fit in most of Vendula London’s Old Sweet Shop bags if you want matching items.

Sherbet Lemons (although they are not as good as they used to be when you could suck loads of sherbet out of them) or anything with sherbet in. I’m 76 and a lifelong sherbaholic. My children always buy me sherbet fountains and flying saucers as presents!
It is such a cute purse. I think my daughter would really love it 🙂 would love to win it for her 🙂
I remember going to the sweet shope every Friday after school where you could pick what sweets you wanted and the would then weigh them out! I used to love their pear drops which were a lot nicer than todays version!
What a beautiful purse! Love old fashioned sweets. I was always partial to a pineapple cube!
my wife would love this for sure and I love my Kit Kat Bars
Ohh I don’t know – I do love jelly babies (do they count?) and I last had a couple the other day ?
Strawberry laces expecially the fizzy ones! I had some at the weekend
Cola bottles. I last had some at the hotel I was staying at, as they had a little selection to help yourself to.
In my opinion you can’t beat a good old flying saucer!
The prize looks really cute, my favorite sweets are Toffee Bon Bons.
I had a vendula bag which I love but I got damaged in an accident yesterday :'( So, I’d love this to cheer me up a bit!
How cute! I love things that are in the shape of other things <3
Love this purse, so unique
My favourite traditional sweet shop sweets are Chocolate Jazzies (milk chocolate discs with hundreds and thousands on top) but I haven’t eaten them in a long time. I’m craving them right now actually so I will have to see if I can buy some either online or in the shops!
Flying Saucers – had some the other day, my partner doesn’t know how I can eat them!
I have always been obsessed with sugar letters and I still get a cheeky quarter when my daughter buys sweets ?
I used to buy Pineapple Rock years ago but to be honest my teeth are not too good anymore so have to protect them so no more sticky sweets.
Rhubarb and custard along with chocolate limes are my favourite traditional sweets. I last tried them about a year ago, they didn’t quite taste the same though!
I like chocolate over sweets but I love the smell and look of an old fashioned sweet shop that the cute purse evokes
This little purse is SO CUTE!!! I I know my niece would love it – but if I won, I know I wouldn’t be able to part with it…
Lemon bonbons – not had them for a long time!
I like my industrial sized box of flying saucers from Costco, everything else is too sweet
I am partial to coconut mushrooms or really good jelly beans – good point about the cola bottles
I love Dolly mixtures but have not had them for years.
very unusual lovely prize, i would love to win
Love a strawberry Bon Bon – not had them for ages!
Oh that is a hard question as I love most gelatin sweets. Sadly a lot of the sweets I like are the modern variation but nothing beats a good cola bottle (not Haribo) or a good strawberry cream liquorice. The last time I ate it was when my kids was in soft play and i finished a whole pack of cola bottles during the 2 hours we were there.
My wife would love it iof I won this!
great prize as always, you always have some really lovely ideas,gifts etc
