What do I want for my birthday?
Discussion
Apart from the obvious....
Its my birthday in a couple of weeks & the OH is badgering me for an answer. I'll be 34, budget is probably £100-200 but if its ace & costs £20 thats fine. Recent presents include a camcorder (which has had little use) and a scalectrix (which has had even less).
We've just been to a car show/museum & are going to watch Top Gear being filmed next week so similar options are out.
What about a weekend car hire, can that be done in budget? (I get to drive Porsche's every day so would have to be something special/different). Are there any events on (comedians etc) soon in the North Bucks area? Are there any films or DVD's out that I must see?
I'm at a loss!

Try something different? I love all things car and bike related, but tend to find things relating to them as prezzies bore me a bit. the stuff I'd not normally do is the stuff I tend to enjoy more and find more memorable.
motorbike CBT (assuming you don't ride? CBT is normally enough to get people hooked
)
skydiving
really good bottle of scotch and a book
overnight stay somewhere nice (lake district etc)
off roading experience day
nice piece of art
a watch from werners
or failing that a trip to amsterdam doesn't cost much

If you have to ask internet people what you want for your birthday I'd go out on a limb and suggest you don't actually need anything.
Why not get "them" (partner was it?) to donate the money to charity or save it "for a rainy day"?
You don't have to get something just because it's your birthday you know.
Just a thought.

Try a stint at some voluntary work with the less fortunate and then come back and see if you really need help with your present!
That’s a great idea, get your OH to buy the local bums in the park some fags and cider, then take pictures to show you!holes of all time.Try a stint at some voluntary work with the less fortunate and then come back and see if you really need help with your present!
Powerkite. Get yourself a 5 metre or bigger and you'll easily be able to do big jumps with it which is an enormous amount of fun. If not then an xbox 360 or PS3, although I guess if you haven't got one of those by now you're probably not into gaming.
What about a slam man punchbag?
In fact I haven't got a clue what you should get.

Very very boring, but for my last b'day i got a huge animal suitcase with wheels thing. Think it was under 100 notes and has been used for several flights and trips already (managed to fit all of the crap i was taking to Le Mans in it)
As the person bought it said to me "you are too tight to buy a new one yourself and your old suitcase looks like crap" which is the point of a present i guess.
Dull as dishwater, but just a thought.
