Birthday Help?

My birthday is Nov 23. Z asked me what I want but I can't think of a darn thing. I kind of want jewelry(i.e. necklace or charm bracelet) but don't want him to get the wrong idea since we have only been dating since Aug. What should I ask for?

Re: Birthday Help?

  • I'd ask for some sort of activity to do together. Maybe like you know I'd love to try x restaurant, or I really want to see this exhibit, maybe wine tasting or something?I always feel awkward when you are dating someone early on and they ask you about something material that you want. You never know what kind of price range to put on it, how specific to be, and you don't want to have that pressure of if you like.

    Well my bday is on a wed and the day before thanksgiving so the weekend before we are going to my favorite italian restaurant and then going to a super nice club downtown. Then after we leave the club going to a hotel within walking distance that he is getting for the night so we can stumble to and from.

    He is asking for something in addition to that.

  • A new outfit for you to wear when you go out, even though you'd get that before your birthday

    Gift cert for massage/mani/pedi/haircut or something for pampering yourself

    Perfume

    If you live somewhere cold- a new scarf/hat/gloves

    I like pdx's idea of something that you can do together too.

    Hmmm! That's tricky then! Well you could always say something like "Oh please, trust me the hotel and dinner is already too much. But I wouldn't turn down a mani/pedi or a massage before we go out." Or something like that.

  • My birthday is the 23rd as well Smile

  • Thanks for the suggestions. I'll probably ask for a couples massage so that he can benefit too.
