General Election distraction - come and tell me what I need for my birthday

Just a bit of fun. My birthday is coming up (end of the month) and my DH and DM keep asking for ideas for things to get me. I don't need anything really but they'll want to buy something. Nothing majorly expensive (£100 at most) and I doubt they'd ever do something like a charity donation in my name. So hit me with your wish lists please!

For info: late 20s, like naice things... Cath Kidson , jewellery, but not overly materialistic. Not bothered by labels unless it's a good brand if that makes sense.

Please no 'you're so entitled. Who needs things?!' it's my birthday and my family are the ones asking. I'd happily they just have a box of chocs!

Have you got a Fitbit or something similar (don't ever get an "UP" band... they break and the company will only replace them once).

They're fab, and it's completely changed how well I sleep (for the better).

Afternoon tea with friends?

Happy birthday Flowers

My birthday is at the end of June too and I'm also being asked for what I'd like. I've asked for some Orla Keily egg cups and a jasmine plant. I've asked for a jasmine plant every birthday for the last 8 years and nobody has ever got me one.
I'd also like some nice snazzy socks.
I am either very very boring or easily pleased. Not sure which.

Not £100 but I just bought myself some Jo Malone blush suede and peony perfume, it is FIT! Ask for that.
You sound similar to me in age and tastes. How about a nice Cath Kidston weekend bag (or changing bag...as I sigh dreamily...baby due in October, already hinting to husband), or cover for iPad/tablet? Is there any beauty brands you like that you wouldn't buy for yourself, I like Clinique but wouldn't buy myself as I'd feel decadent haha!

As for a bigger present you could ask for a spa voucher or afternoon tea voucher.
