It's my birthday next week!. What little luxuries would you ask for if it was your birthday?

[CanIbeRio]

It's my birthday next week. My family always ask me what I'd like and I always ask for boring old vouchers.

I think the problem is that I don't really know what's out there as I've never really had the money for luxuries! I'd love an expensive shower gel or shampoo (love coconut/shea/almond/musk/sandalwood type scents rather than fruity). Or a naice shampoo (hair is coloured and very dry since menopause)

I love those rosy tinted moisturisers that make you look dewey....I usually use L'Oréal or Garnier ....is there anything more high end that's amazing?

I fancy trying some Molton Brown....what scents are gorgeous? Or what's L'Occitane like?

I'd love a luxury lip balm....any suggestions?

I'm open to any suggestions of any pampery lovely stuff. Or anything life changing I'm yet to discover....what's on your birthday list?

Thanks in advance 🙂

I would like:
Neom scent to sleep candle.
A new pair of gardening gloves.
Erborian BB cream in nude.
Olverum bath oil.

Olaplex set? I’m going to ask for the purple shampoo one for blonde hair

No 7 face stuff, it really has made a difference to my skin. The Night cream in particular is lovely. My birthday is next week and this is always on my list. Plus nice bubble bath (rather than supermarket own brand!!) and a good book.

Occitane do an almond shower gel. That's luxurious.
I think Molton Brown have a cocoand sandalwood based one.

Maybe a good scented candle. I love St Eval, White company or Oh James for medium priced ones.diptyque if someone is really splashing out on you.

How about a Hundred Stars summer dressing gown? They are lovely - so soft and great designs.

Peter Pauper notebooks are fantastic if you write anything by hand - journals or to do lists.

L’occitane shower oil and shower oil are nice and expensive for a present, also there’s some brill Lego for adults which I’m lusting after https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/succulents-10309?ef_id=CjwKCAjwtuOlBhBREiwA7agf1pHzTjaVamEaSI75rdjHPZZ3H3P_VnTRI91tZR8X0dYkcSgGOSTRixoC8ucQAvD_BwE%3AG%3As&s_kwcid=AL%21933%213%21%21%21%21x%21%21%2119812010236%21&cmp=KAC-INI-GOOGEU-GO-GB-EN-RE-SP-BUY-CREATE-PLA-SHOP-BP-SP-RN-PMAX_LOW_PRIORITY

I love heavenly gingerlily Molton brown both the hand soap and the shower gel. I feel like it lasts for ages too as it lathers up nicely. I actually got a candle subscription for 3 months for my Christmas and that was great, really lovely candles. I’m tempted to get it again for myself as a treat.

Laneige lip masks are lovely and last a long time, they are about of my bed time ritual now and it feels weird if I don't use it

Nuxe Lip Balm and Nuxe Oil are lovely.
Aveda shampoo is amazing - and one smells of almond. JVN leave in conditioner is great too.
And I'd buy a To The Fairest body oil, a Neals Yard Women's Balance set (great for menopause) and have a massage!

Occitane almond shower oil mentioned above is beautiful.

If you like amber / patchouli / oud / rose scents (thought maybe you might with the sandalwood musky list) there’s a newish Molton Brown shower gel that I absolutely adore - Rose Dunes. The scent is amazing and lasts really well. https://www.moltonbrown.co.uk/store/bath-body/bath-shower-gel/Rose-Dunes-Bath-Shower-Gel/NHB309CR3

I also like their Oud Accord one. But I think the rose one surpassed it for me.

My favourite everyday little luxury. Bobbi Brown lip tint (balm) and it’s currently best value from Boots.

Charlotte Tilbury (sp?) face cream or one of the nude lipsticks
Jo Malone candle
New pyjamas
Books / book vouchers

Happy forthcoming birthday OP! I have one soon too. These are the sorts of things I'd like...

A bottle of good single malt

Something pretty from my local art gallery shop - a Pre-Raphaelite sketchbook or a framed print maybe

@CanIbeRio Sorry wrong thread

I'm loving this thread - so many ideas for when my birthday comes round.

Espa products are really nice - they have beautiful shower gels and their salt and oil body scrubs are so luxurious, they make your bathroom smell like a high end spa. They’re my go to for birthday gifts.

A treatment - any of these:

full body massage
reflexology
shiatsu
acupuncture facial
chiropractic adjustment
osteopathic adjustment
craniosacral therapy

AND/OR

A bottle of organic vegan Franciacorta
A bottle of Lapponia Lakka Cloudberry liqueur

Elemis

Loccotaine shower oil. Incredible stuff!

If you decide to go with @FlannelandPuce suggestion and try no. 7 this is a good deal Boots Beauty Vault

@CanIbeRio Some lovely things already suggested here 😊 are you near a John Lewis? They stock loads of these brands. You could always get vouchers and then treat yourself to a wee afternoon of shopping and test out colours etc on yourself 😊

L’Occitane Amande shower oil

Molton Brown Rhubarb and Rose

Lip balm Nuxe Reve de Miel

Votary facial oils
