What do I want for my birthday???

Hubby keeps asking me what I want, and I genuinely can't think of anything that I want that isn't some type of practical gift. Don't get me wrong, I love practical gifts, but my oldest child's birthday is the day before mine, so it gets overshadowed. So I want something that isn't practical household stuff. I've got less than 3 weeks to tell him something. What do I do??

What are your hobbies? What about hobby related gift? A spa gift card? Massage gift card?

A hardcover set of your favorite books. Spa gift certificate (massage, float spa, salt room, etc). An heirloom leather tote or purse. New boots or shoes. A piece of jewelry. I saw in your profile that you garden... What about an IOU for a sapling for a tree you've always wanted, a trellis, a bench or swing to admire your garden.

Say u want a day to yourself have him go on a date with kid An set up a spa day for ur self or see if u can go to a spa an get ur hair done nails done a massage facial an whatever else u want done to u

I got tattoos this year I got my youngest two kids names on me like I had previously with my oldest

Any artist you like and you’d like to see live? Or some art you’d like in the house? Anything you need for your hobbies?

@Danielle I'm a super crafty person! I'd be ecstatic for a craft store gift card, but he wants to get me an actual gift, not one I have to shop for myself (if that makes sense). @Dana Lew I could definitely get some gardening essentials, but there are so many different trees I want that I'd have a really hard time choosing! @Katie I did tell him that a while back, and he seemed hurt that I wanted my birthday "away" from him and the kids. So I haven't mentioned it again.

@Sarah that's a good idea! I'd have to find a new artist though. I only have one tattoo, but I don't like the way my previous artist finished it up so I don't plan on going back to him. @Asha some art in my house would be great! We bought this house knowing it would need some fixing up. We've been in it for 2 years, and it's still pretty bare.

Mine too 🤣 That y I suggested for a spa day or see about doing a dinner date just two of u.. As for garden see if any on sale that u want to get started or needing anything new

I never want any gifts I want him to wine and dine me- a date. I wanna get glammed up go out hold his hand, make memories w him so that’s what we do. I buy everything I need for myself so for him I want dates and memories but that’s me 🙃 I also book a table for me and my gfs too to celebrate my bday but that’s another night

You could have an alone day? Maybe go and get a mani pedi & your hair done while husband has the kids?

A whole day to pamper yourself and relax. massage, nails, hair, whatever you like to do for self care or relaxation

It’s my birthday today and my husband bought me a necklace with my wee girls names engraved in it (I chose it though 😂), other things he offered were a massage or a new tattoo ☺️

A purse or shoes? I use a very boring but useful bag every day but my partner just got me a cute fun purse for just me.

Make a wishlist of eeeeeverything and have him pick

Or just money girl

My husband bought me a subscription to glossy box for Christmas so every month I’ll get a box of surprise beauty bits! I thought it was a great idea and gives me something to look forward to, especially as I have a newborn x

Spa stuff - a facial, salt cave, massage, pedicure, something like that I really love to get…or a certificate to get your car detailed/cleaned, or a deep clean for the house, things like that are so nice and helpful!

@Tiff what’s a salt cave?

My husband got me little Lego flowers for Christmas

Spa day with lunch or afternoon tea, voucher to get your hair / nails done, voucher for your favourite clothes / perfume shop, go out to dinner, tattoo voucher or if you have any hobbies ask for something towards the hobbies?😊

A night away just you!

An all day spa day!! By far my favorite gift.

How about an experience? Maybe a professional massage or a pedicure? Maybe a special date night or a class for a hobby youve always wanted to try!
