My Birthday
 
Hey guys, bit of a strange request but here goes. My birthday is coming up, and to be honest I don't know what to ask for. I don't wear a watch, simply because I have my phone on me at all times, so its become very difficult for me to decide.

How about a fun present or maybe a nice quality leather wallet.

Re: My Birthday
 
Well at your age.... what about a nice pair of slippers and a pipe. ;)

I just had a big birthday (50) and didn't have a clue what to ask for. I didn't really want people spending a lot of money since they all buy for my 2 children as it as. Eventually I come up with suggestions that I thought would be reasonable. I was aiming for around the £20 and was suggesting things like new cycle lights, golf balls and stuff. I didn't got any of it as I pitched too low.

Got a 8Mb mp3 player, nintendo ds, vouchers for a luxury weekend, voucher for a meal for 2 in a fancy restaurant and more champagne and malt than my liver really wants to know about. My birthday celebration is going to be continuing for sometime!

I think what I've learned is that if it's a special birthday ask for something you wouldn't really buy yourself. If you suggest something that is expensive you might get people chipping in for it. Enjoy it anyway. :)

You are only 21 once.Ask for something that will last.A nice bit of manly jewellery perhaps..You may not wear a watch at present but you might in the future.Or a nice gold signet ring or ID bracelet.

Living at home
32" HDTV
Xbox 360
PC
New Monitor
Probably not, though who knows
Alcohol is a possibility, though im not a heavy drinker so it will probably last
Dont drive due to eyesight

I guess you're right :p:

Wayne, instead of asking for a present(s) from your parents, why don't you get them to fund a bash? Or ask for money & go on a lad's trip somewhere! ;)

I would agree with Maggy on this one, having been there and done that, its nice to look back in years gone by and say "i got that for my 21st", i got my first pucka suit, a gold necklace, money and a few other bits and bobs.

needless to say the only thing ive got is the jewely now, which i still wear to this day, 16 years later.

I thing maybe titanium instead of gold would be a good choice,

It cant unfortunately, back in 2004 I had a severe eye infection in the right eye, which caused some scaring to appear at the back of my cornea, so that's out of the question

Should I tell your parents this?;)

Re: My Birthday
 
OK, on a serious note. Our son is now 28 and I remember how hard it was to find something for his 21st that would be a lasting reminder. He isn't a big jewelry wearer and he had enough cuff links passed down from his two Grandads to sink a battleship. Like Wayne our son always has his mobile with him so a buying him a wrist watch wasn't any good.

We eventually settled on a modern silver pocket watch and stand. It may sound a bit old fashioned but he uses it as a bed side time piece and on the occasions that he has to wear a formal suit he assures us that he enjoys the novelty of using it.

I have included links to the watch and stand we bought him and I can thoroughly recommend the maker Dalvy and Harrison & Simmonds as a supplier.

Cheap skates. :p:

If some one used that excuse on my birthday I'd extract another pint out of them.

(though commendable as it is, I can't see it as a 'present' is all I'm saying).

Unless they need your blood right there and then, especially if they are an aspiring vampire.

Or referring to my earlier to suggestion - give money to a charity. The added advantage that giving through Giftaid means that they can reclaim the tax from HMRC as well!
