What gifts do I want for my 30th?

It's nearly my 30th birthday and my family are asking what I'd like.

Pre-lockdown, I'd planned on either going away with my husband for a long weekend or having all my family over for a big buffet/party sort of thing, but obviously none of that will be happening now.

Have quite a lot of family members, some of whom (my husband, my parents) will be looking to get me quite a 'big' present (say, £150-300), as well as lots of family/in laws who want to get me a present in the sort of £10-30 bracket. In my family, people always ask for ideas; no-one ever just picks something so it's definitely up to me to tell them what I'd like. I often ask for vouchers (for local restaurant/cinema/garden centre) but given that we can't go anywhere, that seems a bit pointless and I think people would be reluctant to give them.

I appreciate it's a lovely dilemma to have but I have no ideas and they keep asking!

A bit about me:

I'm 4 months pregnant with my first child
Not very girly, so would never consider something like a fancy handbag/shoes
Don't wear make up/use skincare products/nail varnish
Like gardening, crafts, running (when not pregnant), cooking, baking, reading, days out with family, board games...

What should I ask for? What did you ask for/want/get?

Thanks!

Maybe a FitBit or an Apple Watch instead of metal jewelry watch? That way you can monitor your steps, heart rate etc. Is there a reason you’ve stopped running in pregnancy? Quite a few of my friends ran throughout theirs.
