What do I want for my birthday?

Dh has just asked me and I just don't know what to tell him. Last birthday he bought me a new saddle but I don't need anything horse related this time.

He's bought me nice things from Fairfax and favor in the past: handbags, boots but again I'm ok for all these things now.

I don't really wear jewellery other than the necklace, engagement ring and wedding ring I wear every day. He's bought me nice earrings which I wear when we go out but I don't need any more of those.

I'm a country girl, we live on a farm but I like a weekend away so have nice clothes for that and he recently got me new Le Chameau wellies.

Trouble is I don't need anything - and anything I want, he's already bought me. 😬

We are staying away for my birthday weekend as we have an event to attend so I can't even say just take me away.

Any ideas on what you would like if you were in my shoes?!

I’d go for a nice piece of artwork, it doesn’t have to be some A1 size oil canvas, it could be a nice print that would go in your new loo or something

I always love a new bag, something small and cross body for casual trips in to town or a bigger leather weekend one

New straighteners / Dyson airwrap?

burberry trench is such a classic

you said no jewellery but I love dainty gold bracelets / a thin gold bangle

different new perfume - le Labo is so good for example

I got a new kitchen aid for a birthday a few years ago which is a thing of beauty

I feel your pain. It was my 40th recently and my parents gave me £1000 for a present. I live in the sticks and have everything I could want or need. The only spendy thing I’m considering is a polytunnel for about £3k but don’t really want to spend the money on that so I’ve been looking at some nice jewellery on Kiki McDonough or maybe a handbag, both of which would basically be for wearing on the school run.

Speaking of polytunnel I have been wondering about getting a polycrub 🤔

I will have a look and see what sizes they come in and how much they are. What a super idea thank you.

Weekend bag would be nice also. Leather one perhaps.

And I do want a cross body bag to replace my casual converse one - which dh hates!!

Hmm....!

Well if anyone wants an update.....

I got a puppy, a pair of heeled Regina fairfax and favor boots, a f&f belt and some vintage champagne glasses.

I knew about the puppy but the rest was a very unexpected surprise.

Best birthday ever 😂 🐶
