Three words for you. Treat. Yo. Self.

On the 13th of October, 2011, Tom and Donna from Parks and Recreation brought us the day to beat all other days. Once a year they spend the entire day treating themselves – there are no excuses not to buy anything that you desire.

At Mighty Ape we revel in bringing you the guilty pleasure items that you can't get from just anywhere. A few of the Gorilla's have put our heads together and provided you with a list of items you may not have bought yet as it just wasn't practical, you didn't want to spend the money or you couldn't find any logical use for. We have one answer to that today – Treat Yo Self.

I adore this Cat Sweatshirt but it's expensive and we're heading in to summer…

This gorgeous sweater is any cat-lovers dream. Featuring a special sublimation technique to give the print high definition quality over the whole jumper, at $99.99 this is one of the most expensive items in our Clothing department. But who can resist the elegant faces, the intelligent eyes, the oh-so-silky looking fur!? Remember that spring still brings its fair amount of chill and this jumper will last you for years to come.

The Collected Works of Hayao Miyazaki does seem pricey at first glance but it is definitely a must for your Studio Ghibli collection. It contains 11 animated classic films like My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away + more.

Plus it's packed with special features and comes in a deluxe limited edition collector's box. Pre-order the collection now on DVD or Blu-Ray. It'll be here just in time for Christmas!

I've been eyeing up these Marshall Major 50 FX Pro headphones for the longest time, but my current ones aren't broken yet.

But with that classic Marshall look, amazing sound and soft on-ear cushions, I'd be able to blast my music in style. And with the same textured vinyl features used on Marshall Amps, my heaphones would have that extra bit of authenticity needed to make people wonder if I was lead guitarist in a band…

I want to start a Vinyl collection but I'd miss being able to play my music at friends houses…

Never fear, with this 3 speed Retro Spin Turntable you can handily move from party to party with your favourite records and the means to play them! This portable turntable with speaker will bring fun to any gathering, with the added bonus of folding up to a neat carry case! So get yourself some vinyl records and bring back the memories.

I am a life-long fan of Zelda and I would love to own all of the guides, but do they need to be in hardcover…?

Gamers looking for THE ultimate in treat yo'self goodies need not look any further than the Legend of Zelda Guide Box Set. Where do you even start with this?! It has hardcover guides that are unique to this set, a laser-etched bookmark and an authenticity certificate signed by Eiji Aonuma. But best of all it all comes in a chest! A CHEST!

This is one of the coolest treats I can imagine putting on my shelf.

I am in love with The Beatles but I already have their entire discography on iTunes…

But if you are a true fan you cannot go past the full set of The Beatles in Mono. This is how most listeners first heard the band and was considered by the group as the primary way they wanted to release their music. Not only does this box set include all 14 individual albums but also a 108-page hardbound book. Only with this Vinyl set can you can truly indulge your Beatlemania.

I love Star Wars, Action Figures and Star Wars Action Figures but I am 33 years old…

BUT I mean come on, how mind-bogglingly amazing is the Han Solo & Chewbacca 12 Inch Figure Set? It's like Hot Toys entered my dreams and knew exactly what I have always wanted. These figures are so realistic, the product shots look like stills from the film. They also come with a treasure trove of accessories so you can play wi… put them on display to admire. Come on Star Wars fans, I know you want these two as badly as I do, so do yourself a favour laser brain.

I have a massive sweet tooth but who really needs 1kg of jelly beans…?

You do. Today. Jelly Belly have collected their official flavours and stirred them up for the ultimate Jelly Belly assortment. Including 50 flavours and handily stored in a 1.36kg resealable pouch you can make this last for two days at the very least. It's currently on special and if you needed any more persuading it even includes the new and delicious Honey Bean flavour.

Ignore Ben, it's the best day of the year!
