If it was your birthday next week, what would you like?

[LettersOfTheAlphabet]

Looking for inspiration (for myself)!

I'm a carer so rarely go out/have time for hobbies. Mid 40s, recently quit smoking so self care is a bit more on the agenda than it has been. Love reading thrillers/crime novels and already have a kindle.

If you have any suggestions please share!

Or just tell me what you would wish for if you had a birthday coming up and I'll see if any of you ideas inspire me 😊

Anything from the list below.

Geek & gorgeous peptides
Neom scent to sleep candle
escentric molecules perfume
Gold earrings
new hair do-so hair appointment
I would like a really nice/flattering pair of jeans, but hate spending on myself, so maybe a new pair.
Trip to a National trust place

Have a lovely birthday op, and well done on quitting smoking!

Massage/spa voucher.
I really don't want more 'stuff'.

Money towards a new camera
Hot stones massage
To go to the pub and get slightly trashed
Deftones tickets

Expensive candle/diffusor
Theatre tickets
Nice meal
Afternoon tea
Facial/massage
Manicure/pedicure

Jellycats, specifically the birthday cake one. But I'd take any of the veggies too (they sit on my recipe book shelf)

An Alo tote

A pair of socks from Happy Socks

A box of brownies in the post from Konditor (the curly whirly ones)

A dress from AYM

A hand-cream/anti-bac gel from Aesop

A lovely phone case

Pouch from Elisabeth Scarlett

It actually is my birthday next week and now you’ve inspired me to buy escentric molecules perfume!

New all singing all dancing sewing machine

It was my birthday yesterday! I got a pink Trangia and a campfire cookbook.

I'd love if someone bought me dr marten josef sandals. I think I'd get a lot of wear out of them from now to September. I'll be buying them with my next monthly pay check, I already spent this months treat money.

I would like some mini GHD hair straighteners. I think they exist?!

New pjs and some splurgy bath oil/salts/bubbles and a new book something romantic and easy to read

Wax melts
Yankee candle
Ferraro rocher
Fluffy pjs with a hood (not for bed but for around the house)
Slippers
A nice pair of jeans because my favourite pair have ripped and are out of stock and it's a nightmare to find nice fitting ones!

A decent travel mug that fits in my car's cup holder, doesn't leak and actually keeps the drink hot.

A facial or any kind of beauty treatment really.
A washing machine.

House repairs. Do plumbers offer gift vouchers?

A long chainsaw.

Get my health back. Nothing else.

Dumbbells to use with Youtube videos.

New slippers
A bottle of perfume
Some yarn so I can crochet a jumper
Garden centre voucher
A bar of chocolate i don't have to share

Any of the above will do 😊

I would binge read lots of Dorothy L Sayers and then go on a day trip to Oxford and do the free self-guided tour round Balliol College.

New fountain pen and fun coloured ink

I like things I can use. I have no room for more stuff. I'd like any of these:

• nice perfume
• Spa or beauty treatments
• food or vouchers for a meal or a shop like M&S where I could choose some nice bits and bobs to eat.
• wine
• scented candles
• flowers

Any of these would make me happy.

A nice kettle for the top of my wood burner.

or someone to take my kids for the weekend so I could go out in the evening and….. have a lie in the next day….. bliss

A tool belt because I recently moved house I've got loads of jobs to do and I am sick to death of dropping things when I'm at the top of the set of steps or a ladder

I realise this is quite a niche request

Fontaines DC tickets for me please!
Have a wonderful birthday and massive kudos for giving up smoking, best present you’ll ever give yourself tbh 🥳

I've asked for a new pair of boots
