The dreaded, "What do you want for your bday" question

I have no clue.  Can anyone tell me what I should ask for?

--I just bought some new work clothes

--I think H is getting me a new camera

--Just bought a new phone (and I love it)

--We're not remodeling anything in the near future, so no Lowes/HD gc's

--An all expenses paid vacation was already quickly rejected

Re: The dreaded, "What do you want for your bday" question

  • Is this for your H to buy you, or someone else?

    I'm always in the shopping mood for non-work clothes, esp with all the cute Fall trends... so maybe some gift cards... JCrew, GAP, Banana, DSW, etc.

    Spa day?

    Rockband or Guitar Hero if you have a Wii or XBOX?

  • I always like giftcards to the following:  the salon or spa, non-chain restaurants, clothing or shoe stores. 

  • My birthday is a month after yours... but I've been asked the same question and I have no idea!

    I'll be on the other side of the fence asking family what they want for the holidays ASAP. I want to shop online and shop early so that the timing of LO's birth won't interfere with gift giving.

  • A new purse is always a fun gift I don't usually buy myself.

    I asked for gc's for cleaning services for Christmas. I'm finally waving the white flag that I suck at regularly cleaning my house and doing it really well.

  • People have already started asking me too and my birthday isn't until December.

    Ask for a gc for new work shoes.  Didn't you say you needed those?  Or a spa day.  Spa days are nice!

  • Thanks for the suggestions!

    H knows what he's getting me.

    I bought work shoes but they're ugly old lady looking monstrosities, so a DSW gift card it is.

    I could def use a spa day....

    I don't even want to think about Christmas shopping....ugh.

  • a general mall gift certificate?  so then you can spend it at any store there.
  • hmmm, mine was easy- i got the iphone too!

    i would probably ask for a 3 day vacation if not pregnant!  

    some other things i want:  to hire a painter to come in to do the entire main floor, new hairstyle, microderm/chemical peel/facial, new sneakers, a few new plants/flowers, some new frames and a few paintings of of etsy (gift certificate?), fresh white duvet/shams set, cleaning lady!
