what do you want for your birthday?

[hellenbackagen]

dp asked me this tonight

im 47 on monday.

i cant think of anything - i mean there is loads i want but when asked cant remember anything ive thought of randomly throughout the year!

i really want a morganite ring but he says i need to wait for that until we are debt free (no major debts but doing house up)

so i cant think of anything.
can you help me with some suggestions that arent mulberry bags or expensive rings please!
thank you!

White company stuff. (Body/bath/fragrance)
Pamper package at a local beauticians (nails, feet, lashes, massage)
Selfridges gift card and unlimited time to wander around the beauty hall getting spritzed and sampled before spunking entire life savings at Kiel's and Charlotte tilbury

I got asked the same yesterday:
Massage/facial....
That was all I could think of. I have plenty of perfume and I don’t need anymore ‘stuff’. DH is already taking me for a weekend away. Otherwise I might have asked for NT membership.

I always ask for a luxury ish Candle

Clothes and a meal out.

Its my birthday tomorrow and I've asked for a big snuggly cardigan, crocks or slip on flip flops to wear to take the bins out and hand cream.

My favourite presents over the years have been:

Electric nail file (when I opened it my reaction was WTF? but grew to love it)
Cast iron skillet
Potato ricer
Blanket (friend gave me a really cosy one which I have over me on the sofa)
Snake

Heated electric blanket throw
Bloody marvellous slippers
Merino socks
Top whack haircut

I would go for a coffee machine but not one of those pod ones. Keeping pods everywhere would drive me up the wall! So idealy a bean to cup machine but one that uses ground coffee would suffice goes to google coffee machines.

Dinner and theatre
Some nice sandals now its getting warmer
Clothes
Really nice make up estee lauder type
Perfume
Michael kors bag
Bit of pampering - lashes/nails done
Bottomless brunch
Afternoon tea

My wish list includes -

Apple Watch
Wireless Headphones (to work with watch)
Weighted hula hoop
Some books I want to read about places I’m visiting on holiday this year
A couple of dvds

Christmas list included -

Keep cup
Nice water bottle
Perfume
Some specialist cooking equipment
Nice necklace

What ring size are you?

There's a Morganite ring on Qvc for £20, they've only got size P, though.

They had my size and I hummed and hawed until it sold out.

I want rose bushes for my Birthday. That'll free up my money to get new flags laid.

thanks for the suggestions....

im thinking voucher from the beauticians,
perfume
maybe a voucher for next so i can get some clothes/shoes
tan leather handbag

that should give him a bit of choice anyway.

My birthday next month, I would love some Milton Brown stuff and I've dropped hints about a trip out walking alpacas.

7 Lush bath bombs, and 7 evenings where I get an hour to soak in them.
An appointment for a nail-shaping manicure (I can do the polish myself, just they look a bit wonky at the moment).
Moulds, bicarb of soda, citric acid, essential oils, soap colourings so I can make my own bath bombs.
A meal out at my favourite seafood restaurant.
An ice-making machine for the summer.

AirPods. Asked for them for birthday and Christmas don't have them yet, too expensive

How about a voucher for an experience such as walking with hawks, owls or alpacas. My NDN did the alpaca one and my SIL has down the owl one.

A mulberry handbag , I have wanted one for ages and I’m really old now ..

I’m thinking of asking for Institute of Advanced Motoring lessons. I think I’m a fairly average driver and would like either to get better or to be reassured that I’m better than average!

One of my best birthday presents from dh was a trip to see Derren Brown live in London. We could easily have made it there and back in one day, but instead he arranged for friends to babysit overnight and booked a night in a beautiful hotel in central London. And we had dinner in London, too.

It felt like a little holiday.

I've had some lovely day trips as birthday treats, but it took dh a good few years to understand that, while I love our dc very much, having a break from them and having couple time for us makes a day trip a treat for me, rather than merely a family outing.

Day in bath including the thermae spa
A morning at an antique jewellery sale with a budget to spend
Lovely lunch out and a walk, planned by someone else
Curzon cinema membership
Theatre tokens
Joy by dior

I want the Dyson Supersonic dryer, but since it's a stupid price I don't think I'm going to get it anytime soon.

jewellery!

I want some storage jars with those little reusable labels on and chalk. And a metal fish slice.
(I am a housewife and I don't get out much!!)

I live in London and want a years Tate membership.
