Treat yourself to these gifts perfect for only you

It’s been a long year, and with just a few months to go, we’re all feeling it. 
Christmas isn’t all that far away, and while you’re likely thinking of gifts for the ones you love, you should consider yourself in the mix as well.
You deserve something you know you’ll love, maybe something you’ve been wanting for a while. It could be for self-improvement, like a gym membership, or maybe just for sparking joy, like a proper coffee machine.
Check out our top picks for the things we think you should gift yourself.

Gyms can be overwhelming come the new year, with everyone heading in to kick off their fitness resolutions. For that reason, we recommend checking out a membership now and getting ahead of the rush. Fitness First and Goodlife both have deals running at the moment, meaning you can join with a little less financial pressure.
Fitness First is a full-service gym, and one of the top options across Australia when it comes to health club chains. Fully stocked with weights and cardio equipment, certain locations also have lap pools for swimming. Most locations also offer classes from Les Mills syllabus, as well as Reform Pilates, yoga and HIIT classes.
Another excellent option is Goodlife, which has over 90 locations across Australia in Queensland, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia (sorry, New South Wales!). Goodlife also has swimming pools at select locations, plus the latest functional training equipment and Arena classes, which combine weights and cardio into 45-minute sessions.
These clubs are offering 20 per cent off your first 10 weeks on 12 and 18-month memberships. Additionally, they’re offering four weeks free and a $0 admin fee from September 23 to September 30.
There’s no denying that reformer Pilates has taken off in the last few years. One of the most popular ways to exercise, it helps build strength and muscle tone with the aid of a reformer bed.
If you can’t quite afford a reformer membership that you’re worried you won’t use, it might be worth investing in a reformer bed for the home. While it’s a big upfront cost, the cost-per-use will diminish quickly. Or, if you’re not ready for that level of commitment, you can rent a reformer via Your Reformer for a minimum 12 weeks, costing $39 a week – the price of one class! With a range of guided workouts on YouTube, getting fit and strong has never been easier.
Fitness isn’t the only way to improve your wellbeing. Ensuring you sleep well and get your eight hours each night is essential to good health, so why not go all out when it comes to your bedding?
Sleeping Duck is a top-choice brand for both mattresses and bed frames. We’ve even reviewed their ‘mattress in a box’ here, so be sure to check it out to see if it’s for you. However, their Indestruct Bed comes highly recommended, offering unparalleled support while you sleep.

As for what you’re sleeping on (or under), it’s important to regulate your temperature to sleep peacefully. You can grab the Bonny Summer Quilt for $399 here.
As for sheets, why not treat yourself to some luxe ones from Sheridan while you’re decking out your space?
We get it, everyone hates dating apps. But have you tried eHarmony? Because it’s a paid experience, you’re already weeding out those who aren’t taking dating seriously. The app also has an excellent track record, with someone finding love on eHarmony every 14 minutes.
If you’d love to start the new year with a new relationship, we recommend signing up! What have you got to lose?
You deserve a good coffee machine, especially if the cost of daily café coffee is starting to get you down. Breville released their latest Barista Express Coffee Machine just this year, which you can get now in black or silver. Sleek and stylish, it’ll look great on your bench, and help you make delicious coffee every morning.
We get it, these can be hard to justify buying. They’re spendy, even with a discount applied. But think of how much joy a KitchenAid Stand Mixer could bring to your time in the kitchen. It’s so pretty and so efficient.
For the music lovers out there, a record player might be sitting on your ‘to have someday’ list. Why not make it a reality and grab this one from Crosley? This is the perfect addition to your home for those who love anything vintage or old-school.
Fujifilm Instax has made instant-print photos super accessible with this gadget. Still designed to print photos from your phone via Bluetooth, the third iteration of the Mini Link has a range of editing options you can play with via the app.
If you’ve got the travel bug, we have a few recommendations to share.
No matter how you like to travel, good luggage is important. We love this three-suitcase option from Nere, which is perfect for trips of any length.
Or, if you’ve got the essentials and just need to book the trip, you can check out FlightCentre for the latest deals on flights and trips. And if you have a location in mind, but want the admin of booking accommodation and activities sorted for you, you can always check out G Adventures for a group trip.
