Do you give yourself the gift of minis on your birthday?
Tgerritsen	12 Oct 2016 8:37 a.m. PST
Sometimes. If the mood strikes me and there's something I want. I don't make a plan to, though.
JimDuncanUK	12 Oct 2016 8:40 a.m. PST
Why not!
King Monkey	12 Oct 2016 8:43 a.m. PST
Yes.
vtsaogames	12 Oct 2016 8:47 a.m. PST
No, no gifts for myself on my birthday. I do buy myself gifts on days that have no meaning at all. "Hey, it's Wednesday! How about some mins?"

I used all £480.00 GBP worth of my Birthday Amazon vouchers to buy X-Wing stuff, does that count?
stecal	12 Oct 2016 8:57 a.m. PST
everytime I buy miniatures I tell myself it is for my birthday! I have a lot of birthdays….
Son of MOOG	12 Oct 2016 9:10 a.m. PST
I buy myself a Christmas present every year…..just because I deserve it!

Mako11	12 Oct 2016 11:08 a.m. PST
Usually, I try to order them before, so they arrive in time for that.
Extrabio1947	12 Oct 2016 11:09 a.m. PST
I quit having birthdays several years ago.
Frederick the not so great	12 Oct 2016 11:21 a.m. PST

Yeah, my wife would have no idea what to get so I often buy my own birthday present … from her, of course.
David Hinkley	12 Oct 2016 12:51 p.m. PST
Of course, how else am I sure to get what I really want.
Combat Colours	12 Oct 2016 12:57 p.m. PST

Nope – gots lots to paint already
Rhysius Cambrensis	12 Oct 2016 2:16 p.m. PST
Having just had my birthday I can safely say yes, yes I do!

Always!
Grimmnar	12 Oct 2016 3:51 p.m. PST
Yes. I buy even more for myself on my unbirthday. Grimm
shelldrake	12 Oct 2016 5:21 p.m. PST
yes – as no one in my family buys me minis, I figure I might as well treat myself.
Cyrus the Great	12 Oct 2016 7:43 p.m. PST
Yes.
advocate	13 Oct 2016 5:50 a.m. PST
If it's near my birthday, yes. If it's nearer Christmas then they are Christmas presents. Otherwise I just buy them.
