What was your last gift/surprise

Yes, I am on a "gift" kick.

 My birthday is next week.  I pretty much forgot about it because I have been planning LB's birthday..lol. Anyways, DH, my parents and IL's have been asking me what I want.  I have NO clue..lol.  I cant think of what I want on the spot and the only thing I NEED is money towards bigger things (a new mattress) or to pay off debts.

What do you receive for your last birthday/Christmas?  or, What would you ask for if your Birthday was coming up?

  • family members this year got us gift cards and gift certificates to our favorite restaurants. it was nice because when the baby comes we really wont be able to afford to go out to dinner. so we are going to use them throughout the year for date nights.

  • dh bought me an iphone for my birthday!

    we generally go way smaller on gifts - so a nice surprise for sure.

  • My birthday is also coming up and there's nothing I really want.  I told DH I'll let him know when I figure something out... my parents will just give $$ and I told my brother and SIL to get me board games.

  • My birthday is in October and I feel bad asking for any gifts, because we just had our wedding 2 months ago and people were very generous between the shower and the wedding gifts.  I am going to ask my parents for our duvet cover that no one got off our registry and DH is getting me a new ipod because I finally have a car with a plug for it!  My old ipod is really old and only holds a little bit of songs.

  • For my birthday in June I got an iPad2, Marc Jacobs bag, Amazon gift cards to buy kindle books, a Kate Spade beach towel and Hunter rainboots. 
  • DH surprised me with  Nook last year for our anniversary.  This year I am asking for a new cell phone. I have an upgrade but he'll "pay for it".

    Pandora charms.. he surprised me with the bracelet and 3 charms for last XMAS so I have gotten a few charms now for holidays and stuff.

    My mom always asks/we go shopping together for my bday/xmas and for our anniversaries I tell her.  

    I don't like surprises to be 100% honest, because it usually is stuff I don't really need or want.

  • My last surprise gift was a videocamera that I got 2 xmas' ago and have only used it once. I'd like/ need a new wallet and purse but I know lol be carrying a diaper bag in no time and shouldn't ask for it!

  • Can't really surprise me because I'm always asking for sh!t.

    On my radar at the moment:

    brown Frye engineer boots

    2 different Marc Jacobs bags. One blue, one grey

    A Marc Jacobs watch in black or tortoise

    I "need" a new flat iron

    new perfumes

     

    I think that's it for now 

  • I'm awful at surprises, I usually badger DH until he tells me. However for our first anniversary he refuses to tell me. I will hopefully be able to report back on Tuesday, provided it gets here in time (DH is concerned it won't be here by Sunday)

  • Wow, nice gifts ladies!!

    Usually I get money which I use to start buying Christmas gifts.  I would love a few nice bags but all I ever carry is a diaper bag and with a new one on the way, it will be a while.  Thanks for the ideas!

  • With both my birthday and Chiristmas in December it's a month of gifts ;-)  So far on my list is:

    A new diaper bag for baby #2 - maybe a PPB Boxy Backpack or a JuJuBe

    Amazon gift cards for my Kindle

    A new camera bag (I like the one I have but it's too big)

    GlamourMom nursing tanks

    An iTouch - I think I'm going to get rid of my iPhone to save the huge monthly bill but, can still use all my existing apps on the iTouch
