Somehow it seems like no-one on the planet missed the fact that it was my birthday last Sunday.
I was so blessed to spend what felt like the entire day going through all of the online birthday wishes I received.
Thank you all so much!
My birthday has left me with a bit of a problem though – a nice problem, but one which is causing me no small amount of stress.
I was given money for my birthday by a variety of people and have a total of a little over $200 to spend.
My wife is insisting that I spend the money on myself and really wants me to spend it on something I will get excited about.
I’m at a complete loss as to what to get though, so I’m asking you for help.
What should I buy?
I have no hobbies, no particular interests… so what can I get that I’ll be suitably excited about.
HELP!
How about that office chair or saw you have on your amazon wish list or something else on there?
DUDE! I had totally forgotten about my Amazon wishlist! The chair and the saw I actually got at Christmas but there are some other good options on that list.
You're my hero!
You are asking the wrong person! I never know what I want when people ask me so how could I know what you want? How about a… nope, I got nothing. 🙂
I could maybe try buying a sweater-vest, see how that works on me!
You could get one of these: http://www.wonderfullywacky.com/nose-showergeldis…
Or you could buy 27 Chipotle burritos.
Unfortunately, they're out of stock of nose shower gel dispensers 🙁
I've never been to Chipotle… I could at least try one of their Burritos!
You seem to me like the kind of Dad who likes to do special stuff with your kids. Set aside about 50 bucks, and take the family to Chuckee Cheese (or the British Calfornian equivalent). Then enjoy watching them have a great time!
Duh…an Iphone.
Would it please you to buy me a LeCreuset French oven? http://www.chefscatalog.com/product/95245-le-creu…
Or yeah, maybe that iPhone.
Over $200 for one pan? Are you SERIOUS?
Yeah… I'm not a big fan of iPhones. I tried one just the other day. 🙁
Thanks for the help though
iphone. iphone. iphone.
I'm not sure what you're suggesting there, Steph… maybe some kind of phone?
How about a couple of nights at a retreat centre or something somewhere for that alone-with-God time you've been craving?
Oh man, wouldn't that be nice!
Debbie's schedule and an abundance of children puts paid to that idea though 🙁
If only the children had some grandparents or something who could, like, come out for a couple of weeks and help with school runs, meals etc on the days you weren't around… Ah well, guess that would never happen…
a project
…. Bur WHAT project?
There's nothing I like doing, that I know of!
Chip in $59 more bucks and get a Kindle. My mom bought me one for my birthday…and other than a slightly out-of-control Amazon bill and a mildly annoyed husband ;-)…it's the BEST GIFT EVER!!
I thought about a Kindle. You're really that much of a fan? I've never even seen one in real life.
You think they're worth it?
Hmmm, seems like you have just enough for a Wii … those are great.
If you want more happy than your heart can hold, if you want to stand tall and if the truth be told, take whatever you have, and give it away.
Find someone who doesn't deserve a gift (or several someones)….much like you didn't deserve the gift that God gave you when He saved you, and give it away.
