treat yourself

Enjoy something special

Treat yourself is an exhortation to indulge in something pleasurable, usually a purchase or experience you might otherwise deny yourself: Go ahead, treat yourself to the expensive wine.

The phrase often justifies small luxuries or self-care: I've had a hard week—I'm going to treat myself.

It can be ironic when the "treat" is excessive or frivolous.
