It’s 3 weeks until my 29th birthday and people are asking what I want. Don’t you find the older you get, the harder it is to give people present ideas? Having a child means all my focus is on him, and I totally forget about myself and the fact I have a birthday too!
I don’t want much. I’m sure other mums will agree time is the perfect gift! Afternoon tea somewhere, a shopping trip, a day of pampering. Anything like that would be appreciated by any mum.
But some people like to buy gifts, so here’s a wishlist of things I would love for my birthday, and it might give you ideas if you need to buy a gift for someone special soon.
1. I reeeeeeeeally want these amazing Vans in Liberty Wonderland. We all love Disney right? So who wouldn’t want to wear Disney trainers? Especially Alice in Wonderland ones!! You can also get Little Mermaid ones which are literally the best thing i’ve ever seen; of course they are sold out everywhere.
2. Perfume. My fave is Lancome La Vie Est Belle . It’s fruity and sweet and smells amazing. This is a very special perfume to me as it’s what I wore on my wedding day. Expensive, so only something I have if I get it for a gift.
3. I really need some new straighteners so these would be a useful birthday present from someone. You never know, I might be lucky enough to get these gorgeous rose gold GHD’s… A girl can wish.
4. I always ask for MAC make up. I can never have enough. No girl can. If you aren’t sure what to buy, take a sneaky look at your girlfriend/wife/friend/mums make up bag to see what she uses, or pop into your local make up counter and see what they suggest.
MAC is expensive, so you don’t want to waste your money if she doesn’t like what you buy. If you really don’t know what to buy you can always get a voucher.
5. Ok so I saw this at the cinema, but I’m just curious to see what the ‘unseen’ bits on the DVD are… 😉
I own all of the books, so I might as well own the DVD too, right?
Admit it, you want to see it too 😉
6. The life house Spa is really close to where I love, so it’s the perfect place to go for a mummy day off. They do some great mid-week packages including the Love Life Spa Day which would be an amazing birthday present.
7. The closer I get to 30 the more wrinkles I’m noticing on my face. Most people tell me I’m mad, but I really do have them and as the hubby won’t let me have botox I need to start using decent skincare products. I’ve never used it before, but I’ve heard amazing things about Elizabeth Arden produ
cts, so something like the 8 hour skin cream would be perfect.
8. OMG I stumbled across this amazing blogger planner on social media from thebloggersplanner.com. I. NEED. THIS. For 2016 obviously.
9. This isn’t released until the 21st of September, 5 days after my birthday. But a pre-order would work! 😉 I literally laughed out loud watching this at the cinema. One particular part made me cry with laughter. If you haven’t see the Pitch Perfect movies yet, you’re nuts.
10. Last but not least, buy me vouchers. I’m skint so can’t afford to shop (which kills me), so vouchers will give me the opportunity to fill up my wardrobe with some desperately needed items. Topshop. H&M. Zara. ASOS. Debenhams. Any of those will do 😉
Other than the usual bath stuff, pjs and slippers, I think I’d be happy if I got just one thing off my birthday wishlist. And if I don’t get one, there’s always Christmas!

What an amazing birthday list and aren’t those vans just amazing?!
I’ve also seen the blogging planner and I’m really intrigued – you’ll have to let us know what it’s like! xxx
We that’s if I get it! But if I don’t I’ll just buy it for myself anyway! I’ll definitely do a little review on the blog. X
Early Happy birthday! I hope you get ALL of the things on your wishlist. I, too am lusting after that planner, and need more MAC in my life. I’m planning a birthday wishlist post after reading yours, good idea!

Thanks Hun! Hubby asked what I wanted for my birthday… I said read my blog! So hopefully I’ll get at least one thing off there! Xx
I always get vouchers which is really boring. But usually because the items on my list are too pricy to buy as a present. Mine’s in October, and at the moment I don’t have anything on my list…apart from maybe a photography practical lesson
I never have a clue what to say when people ask what I want, hence the list. It took me ages to write it! Voucher are Boeing but at least we know we are getting something we really want, right? Xx
Those Vans look so funky! Also a huge fan of the shade of Mac you picked. I’d love to own it, not so sure I could pull it off though.
It’s one of those colours you just have to go for and get used to, I’m fair and blonde and wet super deep burgundy reds and I love it xx
This is a great list, I think I want half of it myself. I could watch FSoG & PP2 in those vans, writing in my fancy blogger planner 😛 Hope your have a great birthday! Xx
Ha thanks Hun. A lot of boyfriends and hubby’s are probably going to hate me for putting ideas into a lot of heads! 😉 xx
What a great list! I love MAC makeup, always got a huge list from what I want there aha! Some really nice items on your list, I hope you get them :)!
Thank you! I don’t know where to begin when I’m in MAC! I love the hour make overs they do, it’s a fab way of getting to know the products x
That’s a great and varied list, you’re bound to get a couple from here! I also want the fifty shades dvd ha!
Fingers crossed! Who doesn’t want that DVD 😉 x
Oh you have a lovely selection on your wishlist, I do agree, time is the most precious gift of all however isn’t it 🙂 Have a wonderful birthday 🙂
It certainly is, but you can’t always wrap time up so no harm in asking for a few bits 😉 thanks Hun xx
I always struggle as to what I want. This year I just got money from a lot of people so then I could go out shopping myself. x
I love getting money or vouchers as I can afford to shop these days, but it’s nice to have something to open isn’t it xx
I love those vans, so cool! A spa day birthday treat would be the dream!
They are amazing aren’t they! By coincidence the hubby asked me last night what I want for my birthday… I said read my blog! 😉 xx
