Every May or June, I declare a no-purchases period until my birthday in July. Somewhere in my head it’s a way to make room for people to buy me gifts, but in truth I don’t receive a lot of gifts and this is just an excuse to not spend. Either way, it works. If you feel like buying me gifts, behold my birthday wishlist for 2017.
