What do I want for my birthday?

I have a birthday coming up. Ordinarily we would go out for dinner etc but that’s out right now. It sounds ridiculous but I have no idea what I want from my husband / children and it’s stressing my husband out (so I need to come up with some ideas). The problem is that I don’t really want to own or consume very much more than I have.

What would you ask for if you were me? I’m tempted to ask if we could go for a weekend to Berlin (when it’s possible) because I’ve always wanted to go. However he will want to get me something tangible.

Sorry it’s not a particularly serious problem.

I asked for a couple of un-exciting things: shampoo and facial cleanser more expensive than I’d usually buy and some new earphones.

This years as outings are out no holiday we’re spoiling each other, hubby had a new dab radio for the kitchen, new cosy feet boots and clothes from burton, I’m having body shop face cream reusable sanitary pads, big planner leopard print bits a bag for it and bedding, not exciting but I’m looking forward to mini splurge.

What about you ask for the perfect day, whatever that may be, could include things like:

Breakfast in bed
Coffee on demand all day
All snuggle & watch a film together (your choice)
Your favourite snacks for the film
Afternoon walk
DH and kids make dinner and clean up
Bubble bath
Back rub
Sex you that evening but it's all about you.

A day of pleasure! Smile

Thanks all. I think everything is so weird right now it’s sort of thrown me off. Stuff like nice earrings - but not going anywhere, scent - but not going anywhere etc.

Some nice ideas here.
