We need curtains and a mirror and picture frames. And by "need" I mean "I want". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-buying-yourself-a-birthday-gift#post-1410185 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 12:53:06 +0000 yoursilverlining 1410185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd take an afternoon for myself; buy a new book and go out to a nice restaurant for lunch and read my book. Then I would grab a bottle of new nail polish on my way home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-buying-yourself-a-birthday-gift#post-1410180 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 12:40:44 +0000 mrsbookworm 1410180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I'm not happy with the way I look in clothes, shoes or a purse will usually do the trick! They look good no matter the size! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-buying-yourself-a-birthday-gift#post-1410125 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 11:20:22 +0000 MamaPhoenix 1410125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Bday is on the 17th and I've already booked an appointment at the salon. It's been over a year since I've even gotten a hair cut. Having a baby takes its tole on your body and I just want to get back to feeling good again. I have a hair cut, color, eyebrows, feet and hands and a massage booked. I literally cannot wait!!! A morning without baby puke accessorizing my outfit lol. DH is also taking me out for dinner just the two of us. I might even get lucky lmao </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-buying-yourself-a-birthday-gift#post-1409933 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 05:07:21 +0000 Beyond2 1409933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Soap making supplies!

Swimsuits are out now at some stores, need to find a relatively decent one piece for that, I don't think the bikini will do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-buying-yourself-a-birthday-gift#post-1409694 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 21:02:19 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 1409694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: When is your birthday?</p> <p>Would you want a membership to netflix/hulu, towards an ipad, yoga classes? One other option is to walk around your house and figure out what little things annoy you/need replacing. I just bought a new dish drainer that will sit in the sink today because the old one from DH's bachelor days annoys me so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-buying-yourself-a-birthday-gift#post-1409614 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 19:59:27 +0000 sera_87 1409614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nail polish, flowers, new wallet and/or kobo cover, gold membership! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-buying-yourself-a-birthday-gift#post-1409543 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 19:14:11 +0000 Running Elley 1409543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After the thread about them the other day I'd get stackable rings with my LO's initial and a heart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-buying-yourself-a-birthday-gift#post-1409539 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 19:12:07 +0000 Boogs 1409539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shoes always make me happy because they don't usually change in size like clothes. ;) Maybe a pedicure to go with the new shoes. I would also maybe get some home decor stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-buying-yourself-a-birthday-gift#post-1409464 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 17:57:16 +0000 blackbird 1409464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Naked 3 Palette! I also want some Laura Mercier lip stuff (gah, i'm so pale in the winter), some pretty new underwear.....some pretty sandals for spring/summer. A pedicure. Perfume is always good, too (although I have like 3 bottles because I love to smell good!). DH is getting me something with E's birthstone in it this year...I'm a sucker for sentimental stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-buying-yourself-a-birthday-gift#post-1409452 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 17:48:02 +0000 mlm2934 1409452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably go to Target and biy $100 worth of home decor.

I told DH I want one of our newborn pictures when we get them done. Something of all 3 of us.</p> <p>I already told him that that's what I wanted for my birthday in June. I'll probably forget I said that by then so it'll be a surprise all over again. I know DH will remember.
