She can't justify splurging on things for herself... so she gives them to friends, and indulges that way.
Eventually, she'll redecorate her own room, too. It's just not her priority.
"My room already has some things, but yours was empty. I know it's silly, but I just wanted to make the room feel like it's worth staying in. We might be living here for a while."
