mean things I say to me 
If you are an adult who got a boring or necessary or offbeat adult-style present today but were super excited about it, tell me about it please.
Me first: I got some hand soaps and was SO pumped.

cliff1976@meantomyself Triscuits and Grape Nuts!
Those are hard-to-get items for me.
PunkinPie 🎮@meantomyself new underwear! Exciting because our little Noodle ate all my underwear and some of my leggings and I was too broke to buy new ones. This is Noodle. He's 93% fluff.
@Lee_in_Iowa@princesspie @meantomyself And 7% ladies undergarments.
@Lee_in_Iowa @meantomyself lol yeah. He's pretty damn cute though and I love him, but we have to be careful on laundry day or my clothes pay the price!
Cowgirlcoder@meantomyself It’s a joint gift that came a few days ago. We bought a 2nd oven, an Anova portable steam oven. It’s supposed to make baking bread awesome. I’m still learning to use it, but so far we’re quite happy w it.
Richie@meantomyself a cool mist humidifier 😳
Tonya Jiang@meantomyself a new ergonomic mouse and a nice bed sheets set (pillow cases, fitted sheet, etc) - they will be well loved!
Jeff Logan@meantomyself I got new grates for my gas grill and it is exactly what I wanted!
Chilly Dee Williams@meantomyself I asked for a set of steak knives and I just keep thinking about how much easier it's going to be to cut up an apple now.
Quick Weasel 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈@rogerriddle @meantomyself Use a big knife for apples. Better control, less self-cutting. ;)
Catherine is not complacent@meantomyself flannel sheets.
WilhelmVonW@meantomyself I got a dough slasher. With extra razor blades! 🎉
David Levine🖖I got a Geiger Counter and I am so excited.
I got a coupon for a free meal at McDonald's and I am so happy.
I got an old Michael Jackson album and I am thrilled.
I got a set of tools for my coal oven and I am stoked.
I got this post and I got content.

campbell@meantomyself pretty stoked about some slippers I got. I just never think to buy them myself but they’re delightful!
oui sequitur@meantomyself I got an adirondack chair so I have someplace to sit while the dogs go poop
Naga@meantomyself coffee from a small roaster local to my in-laws
Margaret Choke-a-Bitch@meantomyself A can of coffee grounds hell yeah
Paul Carpenter 👾@meantomyself My gifts always end up being random goofy stuff and this year includes a pair of high quality needle nose pliers, a hidden wireless charger for my phone that mounts under the desktop, a sampler box of gourmet pasta and a deluxe bottle dispenser for wood glue.
cyborgneticz@meantomyself getting one of those racks for kitchen storage!!
It's Not All About ME@meantomyself
I am semi- bedbound and got a laptop table (it can be used simply as a table too) for on the bed which will revolutionise my life. I'm more excited about it than is appropriate or healthy, excitement is a high energy activity 🙄
Inside =😁😃🫠🤪🤡🥳🤣😆
an exclamation of mild dismay@meantomyself I got several pairs of really good socks, including a high-quality pair of compression socks (which I use at work)!
You don't know me@meantomyself I got REALLY nice slippers. Those felted woolen ones with a solid tread. I'm beside myself with how comfy they are.
Lynne@meantomyself I got a scarf. So adult, but a Vans checkeboard scarf, and that makes my inner rebellious badass happy! 😁
Strange Tim@meantomyself Socks, nice-smelling hand soaps, and a new food vacuum sealer!
@geekyonion @meantomyself Oh yeah, vacuum sealed frozen garden veggies literally last years in the deep freeze!
@Lee_in_Iowa @meantomyself Best part of the new vac-sealer is that it’s a replacement for my existing one that’s on its last legs. Adult gift that is NEEDED!
✡️ MG ✡️ #VoteBlue@geekyonion @meantomyself we got one of those on a decent sale at target last month - the price of meat & produce is so high that I wanted to start buying in small bulk again (costco) to fill up my standing freezer with good meats and try to make my fruit & veggies last longer.
I love it. Accidentally ordered 2x as much red & green cabbage as I needed for this week's recipes, so I chopped up the extra for future meals.
Robin Stephenson@meantomyself @AnEnglishHuman I got a post banger-inner and am delighted with it
charon 🦙@meantomyself Got some baking stuff to replace my old/crappy stuff! New mixing bowls, measuring cups/spoons, a couple nonstick baking pans 😄 Also a 2023 planner!
@meantomyself I got a big deep heated water bowl for my outdoor bird feeding table. Yay!!!
@meantomyself I got all practical gifts - a knock off Le Creuset dutch oven, low latency bluetooth earbuds, a set of 6 reusable pairs of chopsticks, a diabetes-friendly cookbook & a special lancet for making finger stick tests less painful (type II diabetes)
@meantomyself I bought 15 pairs of socks for myself and 15 pairs of new socks for my partner. Couldn't be happier!
