That was seriously the most perfect birthday gift for me. Loved that he took the initiative to schedule the appointment for me and just sent me on my way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-perfect-birthday-present#post-2247227 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 15:39:53 +0000 WinterBee 2247227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: That's what I'm doing! I thought it was so smart. In laws gave me a spa gift card for x-mas so I'm using it on my birthday to help pay for it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-perfect-birthday-present#post-2247226 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 15:38:21 +0000 WinterBee 2247226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I love shopping but rarely get to go for two reasons:<br /> 1. Too expensive, and 2. I live in a rural area so shopping is an all day event due to travel.<br /> So my perfect b-day present would be gift cards to my favourite stores so I could guilt free shop! Money is ok... but it tends to get sucked into bills, groceries, gas... ect. so gift cards are great!</p> <p>I was thinking about this a couple days ago. My birthday is on Wednesday! :)<br /> So far I've gotten myself a b-day present and will be spending the day at the spa! Then friends are coming over for drinks and a bonfire, woohoo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-perfect-birthday-present#post-2247216 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 15:29:04 +0000 yoursilverlining 2247216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A long weekend getaway with some great food and wine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-perfect-birthday-present#post-2247211 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 15:21:10 +0000 lilyann 2247211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Next year I will be turning 30 and would love a Chanel handbag! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-perfect-birthday-present#post-2247144 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 14:26:45 +0000 snowjewelz 2247144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love - </p> <p>A # of groomings for my dog! I'm too cheap to pay for it, but it's so hard to find time to bathe/groom her on my own! </p> <p>A thorough house cleaning service to deep clean (sigh, how practical is this, lol). </p> <p>Car cleaning/detaling (my car is so gross!) </p> <p>Spa day - Mani/pedi, facial, hair cut</p> <p>Gimme a day off!

That's pretty perfect for me. Although if someone wanted to pay to send Hubs and I away for a long weekend (either NYC with some Broadway shows or an all-inclusive resort), I wouldn't scoff at it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-perfect-birthday-present#post-2247125 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 14:01:50 +0000 LuLu Mom 2247125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oooh my perfect ideal birthday gift would be a nice long weekend away to a beach or some other vacation.

Did would be 14 months- I think I would be ok leaving her overnight then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-perfect-birthday-present#post-2246906 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 11:33:45 +0000 Mamaof2 2246906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a winning lottery ticket? :wink: </p> <p>The older I get the less gifts I want - my bday is coming up in a few months and my mom asked what I want....uh, nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-perfect-birthday-present#post-2246905 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 11:33:43 +0000 Greentea 2246905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hm.... I'm not sure. I would love just one date with DH! I literally haven't been away from DD since she was born 2 years ago! :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-perfect-birthday-present#post-2246903 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 11:31:53 +0000 mrbee 2246903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually don't want anything for my birthday! This year though, I asked for tickets to a Broadway show that looks really interesting to me (Hamilton). I read the book it's based on, and can't believe it's even possible to turn it into a hip hop musical (?!). Can't wait to check it out...</p> <p>My other perfect birthday present would be a week off from all my responsibilities. Would be great to stay up late, binge watch Netflix, and meet up with friends for brunch.</p> <p>What would be your perfect birthday present? </p>
