1. Succulent plants are incredibly simple, low-maintenance and independent. They are easy to assemble and virtually impossible to kill, a perfect choice for beginner growers and those lacking a green thumb. Head to Ikea for some of the best indoor plants or to any of the numerous nurseries at Salwa near Wholesale market and grab a sapling.
2. Selfies often garner a lot of attention on social media, but they can also promote confidence and self-love. Grab a selfie stick from one of the Jarir stores and use it like a third arm to remind yourself of your fantastic self.
3. As a quote goes, “If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you!” Challenge yourself to join a gymnasium and exercise for the next one year. Paying in advance might help to ensure you do not skip a workout session.
4. Embrace your free-spirited, single self and jot down all the places and activities you’ve been putting on the back burner in a book or a wonderful diary from one of the stationery stores in Doha.
5. Indulge yourself with a gift of warmth and shop for some colour coordinated throw blankets for each room.
6. That wardrobe in your house might be full with formal, informal and party attire; yet it’s never too full to buy one more. Shop online and gift yourself a cool outfit to flaunt a new you.
7. There are quite a few agencies in Doha that do personalised printing. Gift yourself a memory with a personalised message or a picture that will reflect your good taste. Get a printed mug, or an album or a key ring with one of your most treasured moments on it.
