@jawad zakariya: True restraint lies in resisiting the power to buy when you have the ability to do so. Having read your comment on the Zune and Mac , I suggest you participate fully by getting some money: Sell your iPod!
Resisting the temptations to buying things is not something to be observed for a day (or two) and be forgotten for the rest of the year, but it's a whole new perspective to living altogether. The urge to buying things: That's something which we must learn to fight against... at all times!!
So effectively, while I think it's nice to celebrate the "Buy-Nothing Day(s)" every year, but it's so much better if we try to have "every" day, as a "Try To Buy Nothing Day"! :))
