yes i no i must be really sad to be asking for help on this one but i thought i would try anyway. Im really stumped as too what i want from my boyfriend for my birthday, the two things he was gonna get me have sold out and are not coming back into stock (a pink white gold ring and a gucci handbag)
I have no other ideas on what to he can get me (let alone anyone else in the family)
We have been together 6 yrs and have 2 kids together.
Im 23 yrs old
Anyone else of a similar age out there could you tell me what you would want to recieve for you birthday this yr and then i can see if anything takes my fancy LOL

I have looked at other rings and bags but nothing came close.
Spa day isnt really practical for me as i dont really have anyone to go with
Did theme park 3 weeks ago and i get motion sickness so dont go on many rides anyway
Like the idea of a makeover day tho not sure OH would like it (real fusspot)
Thanks for your ideas tho. Any others out there?0 -
If you've got your heart set on the ring and the bag can you not just wait till they come into stock? You may not have a pressie 'on the day' but you could go out for a meal or something?
As a handbag lover I think a classy Gucci would be worth the wait;)*** PROPHECY_GRRL****** DEBT FREE AS OF 17/10/11 - I DID IT!!! ***0 -
A classy watch? Some other type of jewelry? I know when you have you heart set on something, nothing else will do.
Can he take you on a shopping trip for some new clothes? Maybe leave the kids at home/with grandparents and take you out for a lovely lunch and treat day, just the two of you?0 -
How about a girly pamper day? You could escape it all for a few hours, forget you are a girlfriend and a mum for one day! Finish it off with a nice meal?
Or see if he will go along with you! Finish it off in bed with some new underwear!
I really have no clue, I never want anything for the occasion, it's always weeks later, I think why didn't I get that for my birthday! TBH, I just love getting fussed over, the kids bring me breakfast in bed, clean up for the day, bring me cards, presents, pictures and notes all day. I then take us for a pizza at teatime (kids love pizza).:happyhear We are not put on this earth for ourselves, but are placed here for each other.
If you are there always for others, then in time of need, someone will be there for you.
