Birthday present ideas

Looking for some inspiration please. I’m lucky enough to have been given money for my birthday (approx £500) across several relatives. Please could I have some ideas on what any of you might put on your list? I’m stuck for ideas and usually end up with the money disappearing in the general household money. Thank you!

Would you splurge on a nice handbag or a pair of leather knee high boots? A single item? Or would you prefer to stretch it out and get lots of little things? I was hoping to get some money for my birthday that I was going to use for Botox or a Profilo skin treatment, but my husband didn't get me anything, not even a card lol. So you're already winning in my books 😂

@WineGetsMeThroughIt
That’s a shame Sad Thanks for the reply. I have a few handbags and don’t really use more than one or two. I have thought about the Dyson dryer or the air wrap, but would be quite nice to get a few bits, instead of one big thing....

@Mumof3teens You could also put the money aside in a separate account and kind of forget about it, until something really screams "buy me". Love the Dyson Air Wrap idea though!

I was bought the Dyson dryer as a gift just out of lockdown and I love it and am really pleased with it.

Thinking of things I have bought myself over last couple of years that I'm equally as pleased /delighted with and love using or have been lucky enough to have been gifted ....

Thank you for the ideas both of you - some real food for thought there. Glad to hear you are please with the dryer, BeaLola - am trying to justify it!
