To ask for birthday present ideas

My 30th is coming up next month and family/friends/husband are asking for gift ideas. I have no idea what to ask for! I'm 14 weeks pregnant so the usual clothes or booze don't really appeal. I don't have any hobbies, I'm quite crafty but have all the things I need at the moment.

What would you wise mumsnetters ask for?

Thanks in advance Smile

Do you like fancy candles? Or nice bath sets? Just luxurious little things you wouldn’t maybe buy yourself, but enjoy doing?
Or maybe experiences, for now or for when you’re not pregnant (i.e some have a 6 months - year to use them) like cocktail making, nice spa break type stuff?
For my 30th my partner got me lots of little things I like - candles, accessories, chocolates, lush stuff, a handbag - it was like a stocking.

Pregnancy friendly: massage/manicure/pedicure/facial.

Fancy hot chocolate gift set - great for winter and non-alcoholic.

Afternoon tea experience.

A pre-paid cleaner to sort you house out whe you're so pregnant you can't or don't want to.

I got new trainers for my 30th. I'm fat so don't like other people buying me clothes but shoes dont make a difference.

What about jewellery?

Thank you.. lovely ideas there. I do love baths, Lush is a great idea (I struggle to justify shopping there now that bath bombs are often over a fiver each!)

I really like the idea of a fancy pregnancy massage but I'm not sure if I'd regret something that would be over quickly, if that makes sense.

Prepaid cleaner sounds bloody amazing!!

I always love the idea of jewellery and I have some really nice bits, but never actually wear them.

Oh you shouldn’t regret anything over quickly, it’s a special birthday so perfectly fine to do nice things you wouldn’t normally Smile
