  • Do you think it is cheeky for me to ask my friends and family for vouchers for my birthday?

    I really REALLY want a Paul Smith handbag and could never afford one unless I save up vouchers...

    not sure Ames, they had the whole section from top to bottom yellow stickered - it's mostly red, but there was about a dozen bottles of white in a pallet thingy waiting to go on the shelves when I went in.

    Why would it be wrong to ask for what YOU want for YOUR birthday? And you're saving them the hassle of organising to buy it between them.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Bun are people likely to ask you what you want ? Then I think it is ok to say vouchers but not sure if they don't ask - never been in that situation.

  • That's a good point, I may have to be cheeky and say 'IF you fancy getting me a gift, I'd love House of Fraser vouchers' kind of thing...

    Maybe tell DH to tell people...

    No, that's absolutely fine. No cheek involved at all.
