Ideas for my 17th

JordanShannon

Hi everyone,

Here's the situation, i'm 17 in January :j and EVERYONE is asking me what i want for my birthday, and the problem?? I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I WANT!!!!! :mad:

I would love to have my own car but that is SO expensive that i can't ask for it from my family...I would also love to get something really personal, you know something that has been made or a hamper full of suprising treats.. but my family don't like to spend time on things like that!:mad: Don't get me wrong i'm not being ungrateful, i just cannot find anything that i really want for my birthday, and i have ran out of ideas(as they were brought for me for Xmas!)


I'm really girly and love clothes, handbags, shoes etc. (although i have just recieved a load for Xmas):p I'm very MSE and i'm taking part in a number of challenges on here. I love bath and spa stuff, i'm looking to become more arty and crafty for the new year.. I'm in to photography and as said above i would like something personal from them.

I would love it if you all could reply with quirky gift ideas that i could ask them to buy, it would be muchly appreciated.
THANKS in advance:beer: .

Tell them what you just told us, tell them what your into, and if all else fails you could just ask them for the money and save it or really treat yourself.

I agree with campbell87

If you are good at saving that is ?:rotfl:

How about asking for a few driving lessons ? or your provisional ? photo credits on photobox ?

It sounds like a good idea to me. Thanks. Sorry i didn't actually preview how contradictory i sound in my post LOL bless me, it will teach me for posting so late at night:D

I think I would ask/hint at money or vouchers so you can get what you want.

Happy birthday!

I think I'd steer clear of asking for vouchers, purely because of the amount of well-known shops going into administration. How about asking for crafting equipment? Material, beads, etc. to help you with all the things you want to make this year (I've seen your long list on Crafty for Christmas 2009, lol) x

I think the one of the best things I've done in my life - that I've enjoyed I mean - is being able to drive. So I'd ask for some money towards provisional licence and/or a lesson or few.
You can get make-up/girly stuff any time, there are people that are bound to buy you that anyway :cool:

Have a wonderful birthday, I wish I was 17 again!

JailhouseBabe - Oh dear, it wasn't meant to be that long but it kind of happened:rotfl: :rotfl:

Barneysmom - Thanks so much, will ask for provisional and fingers crossed...They get it

I'm such an idiot lol,:o firstly for not looking at what i've posted and secondly for answering my own question!!:mad: I am silly:p

Thanks everyone for answering:D

Heya Didn't know you was so young!! Aww how cute. Have you thought about going to a day spa or just pampering yourself for a day. Manicure, facial etc. I would love that!!

Hope you have a wonderful birthday xx

Jordan -you could set yourself a challenge and with whatever money is given to you see how many things you can get with it ....you're bound to find something
