indulgent gift

Treat for someone

An indulgent gift is something bought for pleasure rather than necessity—a luxury or treat that the recipient might not purchase for themselves: The cashmere sweater was an indulgent gift from her sister.

The phrase often implies slight extravagance or self-permission: I bought myself an indulgent gift after finishing the project.
