Maximum spend £75
If you don't say exactly what you want, you'll get nothing. 🙄 😁

Some peace and quiet ☺️

DH to pull his weight with the housework.

BooseysMom · 02/08/2020 11:28

Ooh good question! I want to be 43 again please. Guess that costs more than £75! 🤣

It is actually my 43rd birthday today. I asked for a basketball hoop. I got...a pair of tracksuit bottoms from the store my husband works at. His story was that he's really bad at buying gifts and thought it would be better that I go and buy my own hoop.?Hmm

I'm 43 next month. I want to be taken out for dinner and some Kiehl's amino shampoo!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 02/08/2020 11:39

I'd like the following from independent local businesses:
big bunch of flowers
a ceramic bud vase
some nice bath salts in a glass jar
some posh chocolates

I want something that will not spend long in my house. So alcohol, flowers, triple milled soap, perfume, a John Lewis voucher, book tokens (although you could always look at my amazon wish list) or a nice meal out. Do not give me any trinkets.

Happy Birthday FreakyPurple 🥳🎂

Hippofrog · 02/08/2020 11:49

Elle Saab perfume in white! My new favourite

Twix42 · 02/08/2020 11:59

Happy Birthday @FreakyPurple 😁
I'm not 43 until Tuesday. But running short on ideas of ' what I want' 😂
Buy the hoop yourself and enjoy it! 😊

Hunter wellies, navy and the boot socks if the budget will allow!

FreakyPurple · 02/08/2020 12:02

Thanks @Twix42 and @BooseysMom Smile

I’m about to be 44. I want a running backpack and new waterproof jacket. I’d also like some tubing mascara, a pedicure and a watch strap. That probably doesn’t help much

Twix42 · 02/08/2020 16:40

Anymore ideas anyone?? Grin

Wellies and welly socks
A new deckchair or garden seat - you can. It an egg chair for one person for £75
Garden centre voucher so that I can buy bulbs in autumn
A selection of posh gins and those massive globe glasses
A jo Malone candle and some hand cream or alternatively three candles from the white company and a room spray
New trainers
A blazer
Some new martini glasses and posh espresso liqueur to make espresso martinis

We bought a velvetiser from hotel chocolat earlier this year and it is amazing (£99)

nevergoingoutagain · 02/08/2020 16:53

A tattoo

DobbyTheHouseElk · 02/08/2020 16:53

I had a alarm clock from DH for my 43rd birthday.

I’d like a big box of chocolate and some jewellery.

ThisCharmingPenisHaver · 02/08/2020 16:59

I'd add a few quid and get a Squier guitar (if I didn't already play).

Or a vintage style saddle bag from Scaramanga.

Or a Kindle (if I didn't already have one).

Or a pair of Docs in the sale.

NeurotrashWarrior · 02/08/2020 17:01

I asked for riding sessions. To be done In April when the weather got better...🙄

So that'll have to roll over!

Cheerybigbottom · 02/08/2020 17:06

I'd like a new pair of Whitby jet stud earrings

Dinosauratemydaffodils · 02/08/2020 17:10

It was mine a few weeks ago. I got £300 worth of books from my wishlist and the promise of childfree time to read them, a bottle of violet gin and some Turkish delight.
