It's my birthday and my birthday present off my partner is being delivered today does anyone want to guess with me what it is?... the only clues I have is its useful? And I think maybe it costs just over £100.

Thank you! Robot hoover would be good. Probably not a handbag as he wouldn't know where to start choosing one, and we don't have space for a dishwasher so cant be that.

@30degreesandmeltinghere happy belated birthday Smile
@Pavlova31 I really hope it's not a steam cleaner!! But I'm thinking maybe robot hoover seems the best bet at the moment.

You share a birthday with me! I guess jewellery. I don't know what I'm getting either but I'm off to bed now cause on nights Grin

MoiraNotRuby · 15/07/2021 10:13

Happy Birthday! So sorry to hear you are getting a useful present... I hope it is 'useful for a hobby you enjoy' not 'useful for cleaning up after others' so I'm going to say Kayak.

Willwebebuyingnumber11 · 15/07/2021 10:15

Hope it’s not a Hoover!!

Coffee machine?
Velvetiser?
iMac?

dancingbroccoli · 15/07/2021 10:19

Happy birthday!! Another guess for a coffee machine

VeganVeal · 15/07/2021 10:20

Steam generator iron?

Trumpkin · 15/07/2021 10:31

Coffee machine

Nice watch

A luxurious dressing gown or pyjamas

Take-away vouchers

I hope it's not a steam iron. Who would really want an iron for their birthday? Confused

I agree I don't want an iron. I don't think he would get me an iron anyway. I have absolutely no idea what it could be. I'm still waiting for delivery...
@30degreesandmeltinghere hope you're feeling better from that lovely birthday gift?
@MrsTaytodarling Happy Same Brthday Day Grin Cake
@MoiraNotRuby hmmm....not sure where I would keep a kayak....good guess though! Grin

Breadmaker? Speaking from experience here. He’d seen me researching them and told me he hoped it was the make I wanted. Actually I’d already decided I didn’t want one at all.

ILoveYouILoveYouIDo · 15/07/2021 11:00

Happy birthday. I'm guessing an expensive bunch of flowers. Flowers

Mumdiva99 · 15/07/2021 11:02

Happy Birthday.
A hot tub hire?

iamtheoneandonlyyy · 15/07/2021 11:05

AdoraBell · 15/07/2021 11:07

Happy birthday 🥳

Hope it’s something you like. My guess would be a coffee machine too.

MissMissTorrance · 15/07/2021 11:08

A new Kindle or tabletSmile

Happy Birthday 🎉

Wriggleon · 15/07/2021 11:10
