*lighthearted* ideas for birthday money

Ilovejammies90 · 30/03/2020 19:23

I just want to start by saying alot of people are struggling right now- and I really don't want to offend or upset anyone with this post- I am wanting some escape from the covid bubble and wondered if anyone wanted to join me...

Ive had a big bday during lockdown
Most people gave me money and I am looking for some ideas on what you would spend £100-150 on to treat yourself

I like home things, beauty, fashion etc

Ill look forward to some ideas 😊

It's dp's birthday in a couple of weeks. I'm giving him a voucher for a post covid tattoo

I can’t imagine this would upset anyone, in fact it’s nice to think of something other than covid! If it were me I’d probably get myself a new pair of converse and a Jo Malone perfume I’ve been lusting after. Or maybe a nice Kate Spade clutch or a comfy Midi/maxi dress for the summer, Hush have some lovely ones at the moment. Enjoy your birthday!

I'd get something lovely for my house - probably a print or other piece of art.

Interested in this thread?

BeautyPie membership, £99 for the year, then you can buy any of the products at about 1/10 of the price. Luxury skincare, makeup, candles etc.
I love treating myself !

I had a similar amount to spend after a significant birthday and bought myself a new sewing machine. It will come into its own during all this time at home

Oooh these are all so interesting thank you!!!

Tattoo thats such a nice gift as something to look forward to and also keeps the tattoo artist going!! So kind x

I am very interested in beautypie I am going to look into that now

@desperatetostaypositive I had a sewing machine once..I was epically bad... couldn't even thread the bugger...!!

Kate spade clutch is a good shout!

@Sadik is there any websites you would reccomend for art/prints? Have had a look on etsy and saw some good ones there wondered if you had any reccomendations

Thanks all

If I were choosing a print it would probably be this wren & flowers from Rosanna Morris, I've also got a print I love from mollybrownink
