Birthday present help!!

[cfmtb]

Help needed for my own birthday present!!
I have some very generous friends who are asking me for present ideas for my big birthday coming up. Budget around £250. (Trust me, I've told them it's unnecessary but they're insisting).
Trouble is - I have no idea what I want or need.
I was thinking a bag or a nice coat? Or jewellery but to be honest I don't really wear it much. My ideas were a robot vacuum or a knife set but they laughed at me!! 😂
I used to wear the wool wrap style coats from Ted Baker a lot. Size 10ish. I could do with a new large tote bag maybe? My style at the moment is more new mum thrown on so maybe something to get me out of that for work!
Someone help 😂

Not to wear, obviously, but how about a beautiful throw/blanket? I clubbed together with someone to buy our friend one of these for her big birthday and she was thrilled. They come in gorgeous colours:

Tickets to the theatre/ concert/ gig.

Other than coat or bag good boots can set you back a fair bit. Worth thinking about.

@toenails
Ooo thank you! I am always cold so could be a good shout!!
@pizzaHeart I also suggested this but she said we always go out anyway and wanted it to be different 🙈
@heyhohello also a good thought...can't go wrong with footwear!

Thanks all!!

Colour/style analysis consultation?

I'd like some Ugg slippers , a slouchy leather bag, a leather rucksack, a course of facials, a Monica thingie necklace , a vintage opal ring that I've seen...

What about a really smart leather purse/wallet? Something you’ll use every day. Or new sunglasses? A gorgeous cosmetics bag(s) and new make-up brushes?

Oooh this is a great idea! There is a woman I follow on Instagram called Smook Styling who does vouchers, so you can get your colour analysis/styling advice etc. One of my friends had styling from her a few years back.

Voucher for an overnight stay at spa like Champneys, maybe with some treatments.

I second this idea having been the recipient of this actual blanket for a big birthday. I had asked for it and it was funded by various people. It is lovely and still going strong some years later.

Fab ideas thank you!!
Will explore some nice throws and look into styling appointments! I'm useless with all the style/makeup stuff!
