gift ideas - - for myself..LOL

I don't know why I am having such an issue with this LOL. 2 family members asked me what I would like for my upcoming birthday AND I cant seem to come up with anything LOL. How things change --my 9 year old can make never ending lists and I cant think of a few ideas of something I would like. LOL

what would you like for your birthday??Chat Icon

I'm fairly simple and tend to appreciate things like gift cards to my fave stores.

DH has also gotten me a giftcard to go for a haircut at my fave salon.

We also don't turn down giftcards to our fave restaurant for a night out!

Honestly, if I want something I usually go buy it so I'm not that easy to shop for. Chat Icon

New pillow
Wall art
Picture frames

Besides that:

Gift cards to my favorite stores
Tickets to a play
Massage or spa day

My mom got DH a gift certificate to Molly Maid for his birthday and he LOVED it...I did too! Chat Icon

I agree with gift cards - I love to get gift cards to restaurants, spas (for massages), mani-pedi places, clothing stores, DSW. I love the Marshall's/TJ Maxx/Home Goods gift cards. Guilt free shopping for me! I also like Barnes & Nobles gift cards -- I read a lot and have the Nook and Nook app for my ipad. DH and I are also wine drinkers so we get wine as gifts a lot, as well as Stew Leonard's wine store gift cards.

Sometimes, if I know the budget of the giver, I pick out a few very specific items, which actually makes the life of the giver easy! So for example, we do a Kris Kringle/grab bag every year at Christmas with my DH's extended family, and it's a $100 budget. So in recent years I asked for perfume gift sets, Ralph Lauren rain boots, a certain hand bag, a specific watch, etc. I try to pick something that I know I will want and use, but something "unnecessary" -- more of a luxury item -- that I might not buy for myself and that will feel like a treat.
