What would you ask for for a 40th?

My family are clubbing together to get something for my 40th, and have asked me to think about what I would like. They're happy this be a physical thing to keep, or an experience, just something that would be special for me, but I'm a bit overwhelmed. They've said the budget is £350-£450. What would you ask for?

How about clothes you wouldn't normally buy yourself, a really good winter coat and boots, or a piece of jewelry, maybe a good quality classic watch?

A handbag or jewellery.

That would pay for a very nice long weekend to Rome.

I had a bicycle. My friend had a hot air balloon ride. Another friend got a small greenhouse. Someone else I know went on a scuba diving holiday.

It all depends on what sort of thing you would like.

I got a Kenwood Chef. I was very happy with this. Whereas I am happy to spend on clothes, bags etc (or I was back then), I begrudge spending on appliances, even if I want them.

I got a bike
