What do I want for my birthday?

KanyesVest · 26/06/2024 20:59

I don't need any clothes, make up, perfume. I have a gin lake. I still have Christmas vouchers for the hairdresser and a massage therapist I go to. I don't wear jewellery. I'm trying to cut out upf foods so treats don't seem very appealing. Kindle/audible subscription already. The two gigs I want to go to, I already have tickets for (I bought them for dh for Xmas!)

But DH and the dc want me to have something to open for my birthday, which is lovely. If only I can think of something that isn't just for the sake of it. Could you please hit me up with what you would like to inspire me? Budget up to £100 but very happy with something a lot cheaper if it is inspired.

What is a gin lake?

More bottles of gin than I've been able to drink to date.

Thanks you all, lots of things to think about. Garden ornament is one I'd never have thought about and shall investigate. (And reminds me of this blog post which is always worth a reread https://thebloggess.com/2011/06/21/and-thats-why-you-should-learn-to-pick-your-battles/)

And that’s why you should learn to pick your battles.
