What would be your perfect present?

[MagpieTree]

I have a significant birthday coming up, and dm has asked me what I would like present wise. I would love something that I will treasure forever, or an experience.

I don’t wear much jewellery, I have a decent watch.

Any ideas?

Once in a lifetime holiday!

What's the budget?

I really have no idea
I’m watching this thread to see what people come up with

Long weekend in New York. Food and Art Museums/Galleries.

Trip to Athens.

Miele washing machine

A holiday or some chickens.

A nice antique ring.

The next place on my bucket list is Japan... A trip to Japan?

A holiday to Peru

Not sure she will stretch to a holiday, although she is very generous!

A day of my husband’s time without any children

All expenses paid around the world cruise with dd. Never been on a cruise before but for some reason recently lacking in confidence about travel, so this would be a perfect mix of independence and possibility of some company for both of us.

Failing that I'd like someone to properly de-weed and membrane/cement whatever the hell I need my driveway once and for all.

Or (gets carried away) I'd actually love someone to pay for a cleaner once a week.

Oooh, or a personal shopper for a new capsule wardrobe.

OK, i'll stop now

(Oh god, sorry, read the OP ).
I have a day watch and a more jewellery-like occasion watch (to cover my watch tan line). Something to think about if you like watches?

I'd like some natural professional photos taken of my children and the dog. In a forest with bluebells ideally

I do not want a washing machine

I’m thinking maybe a fine dining tasting menu with wine flight.

Or a picture.

Art - something you love which will give you pleasure every time you look at it . That’s what I’ve requested for my birthdays for the last few years . They make me smile every day .

Or a piece of beautiful furniture .

@Purpletigers I like your thinking.

What about something you'd like but would never buy yourself? Something that won't age as time goes on like a nice bag or a leather jacket?

A nice piece of wall art that you can keep forever?

An experience that you can remember forever?

Are there any hobbies you'd like to take up? For example, a good camera if you'd be interested in learning photography as it's something you could get a lot of use out of?

Would be interested to know what you go for in the end!

I did think of a bag, but I have so many already.

Definitely like the idea of a picture. I have a space in mind but would need to find the right piece.

I would love a make up application course or similar type of thing - so you feel good everyday

A greenhouse .

New tits.

I’d go for a piece of jewellery-a necklace or ring. If you don’t wear jewellery, though, what about shoes or tickets to a show?
