Birthday present ideas - what would you ask for?

[starfish4]

My birthday is coming up. DH, DD, DM and DA have all asked what I want.

Only things I can think of are a couple of books I'd like to read or an Amazon voucher so I can buy said books. A bunch of flowers would be nice. I still have Xmas/Easter chocolate, but could ask for some Ferrero Rocher (they won't last long!).

I don't really need any clothes, can't find them anyway, have loads of toiletries, have drinks left from xmas. Love candles, but have some.

I asked DH if he can take me to a quirky pub that does a lovely sandwich (unusual homemade bread and delicious homemade coleslaw and dressing), but we can't go until June as it's a good drive, but he obviously wants to buy something!

Any ideas?

New pair of trainers would be my go to, or if someone wants to splash a bit more cash on you the GHD hot brush is meant to be amazing.

Maybe a nice cushion or a lovely blanket for the sofa - National Trust have some gorgeous ones.

What about a pamper day or some treatments. Massage or a haircut?

I would like a decent Bluetooth speaker so I can listen to music around the house.

On my list are:
Magazine subscription
The Spicery recipe kits
Bird and Blend tea
Beach bag
Dressing gown

Neom well-being pod diffuser

Some art....not Picasso type art but travel pictures of places I've been to, voucher for brand of shoe/bag, spa break, alpaca trek, jewellery making course though in all honesty dont know if I'd have the patience....or talent, Echo..., perfume and most importantly......CAKE.....NICE CAKE

Yes, Cake! Audible membership or audiobooks? Nice pair of slippers. Or something boringly practical but still a treat like a fancy valet for the car, or getting a cleaner for a one off clean of the house, gardener, that sort of thing.

I can recommend Freddie's Flowers, my husband bought me a subscription and I love it

Plants! I love plants!
And herbs, a selection of herbs for a herb garden.
God I'm boring 😀

I had money towards a pair of Doc Martens last year

I always get vouchers for Boots, M&S, Amazon etc from my stepson, as well as a fancy bottle of gin that I wouldn't normally buy. I've had dresses, posh soap, perfume, all sorts of things like that in the past. My gran always buys me a bar of Chanel soap

Right now I'd ask for dominos 😂I played 10+ games with a patient last week and I really enjoyed it

I'd like some lovely new bedding, tons of chocolate or a new pair of Converse (swap for whatever type of shoes you like)

A beautiful rose from David Austin.

Magazine subscription is ace- my sister bought me one for my birthday. Haircut/ massage/ facial/ spa day would be my heaven. Snuggly jammies/ slippers. Big hoody or an Oodie (got one from DH for birthday- honestly one of the best things I own).

Afternoon tea delivered.

I'm asking for a GHD hot brush for mine in a couple of months or I'm thinking of asking for us to upgrade our flight tickets for our next holiday.

You are my mum. I've got her a new make up bag. There was literally nothing else she wants or needs! If it was me I would be asking for a voucher for a spa to get a massage!!!

Jewellery
Pamper day at a spa
More clothes, accessories etc
Voucher for haircut
Theatre tickets or voucher
Lots of things from Not on the High Street!!
Beautiful flowers...

Do you have a garden and live somewhere it gets warm? Zero gravity chair for the garden or egg chair or bench or hammock or whatever you find comfortable.
A picture of your favourite place is a good idea. A heated blanket, I have one and it gets a lot of use.
La Roche Posay Anthelios SPF 50 for your face.
Audible subscription for the year if you don't have it and would use it.
Headphones/Bluetooth speaker for audible while walking/cooking/cleaning
Sandals
A gilet? I got one for walks as I am out of the habit of carrying a bag and as it gets warmer I don't have coat pockets.
I'm basically listing things I have or need to buy
Happy Birthday

I never want anything. I dread my dh and adult children quizzing me on what I want. Once we can go out again a nice meal out would be nice but I already have iou vouchers and a pub chain voucher card. So atm I want nothing.
