Help! What do I want for my (49th) birthday?

It's my birthday in 2 weeks time and DH and DS are asking for gift ideas. I have absolutely no idea. For Xmas I got 2 new jigsaws, a lovely mug and some beautiful earrings. I also have some L' ocittane bath bits from my mum which I'll get at some point.

All of these were on my list so I feel like there's nothing else left.
I'm currently shielding again so would like a treat of some sort!

Monthly flower delivery. Like bloom in wild, is it?

Monthly cake delivery.

At-home afternoon tea, with fizz.

Beauty box subscription.

Not on the high street vouchers, if they do them.

Do you like books? A magazine subscription perhaps? As you said you got jigsaws, do you have one of those puzzle mat things? Nice new pyjamas?

Heated throw mine was 50.00 or so from argos who do delivery.

Some lovely ideas, thank you.

To be honest I think I might have just had my best present. I got a text from our GP's surgery last night asking me to book my Covid jab so am booked in for Tuesday. (I'm CEV).

Ooh how wonderful! I am so pleased for you and hope that all goes well. It's a big step back towards normality isn't it?!

A voucher. Easy to buy online and you can enjoy treating yourself when there is something you really want or have decided.

If you really down have everything you need and are casting around for stuff.....One of those overseas sponsorship plans? Less developed countries are going to be affected by Covid for much longer, especially if vaccine supply is limited. You might enjoy writing and getting the letters back and knowing you're making a bit of a difference?

Just had my 49th.
Cant beat your vaccine but I got lots of beer and chocolate. And a mug, socks and jigsawGrin
